Market House Hotel occupies a 19th-century building at 5 Amiad Street in the heart of Old Jaffa, steps from the Jaffa Flea Market and the ancient port. The property is managed by Atlas Hotels and was restored with careful attention to the building's original Ottoman-era stone architecture, preserving exposed stone walls, arched doorways, and traditional courtyard elements throughout the 31-room interior.
Rooms range from compact standard options to spacious superior rooms, each featuring exposed Jerusalem stone walls, modern wooden furnishings, and en-suite bathrooms. The intimate scale of the property, with just 31 keys, ensures a quiet and personal atmosphere that contrasts with the bustle of the surrounding Old Jaffa lanes.
A generous buffet breakfast is included with all room types, served daily in the ground-floor dining room. The hotel's rooftop terrace offers views across the rooftops of Old Jaffa toward the Mediterranean and provides a relaxed space for morning coffee or evening drinks. A small library and reading area is available in the common spaces for guests.
Market House Hotel sits within a short walk of Jaffa's primary attractions: the Jaffa Flea Market (HaPishpeshim) is directly adjacent, the Ilana Goor Museum is approximately 200 meters, and St. Peter's Church is 400 meters. Tel Aviv's beachfront promenade lies approximately 2 kilometers north, easily reached on foot or by local bus from Jaffa's main square.
The hotel is particularly well placed for travelers combining Tel Aviv beach time with exploration of Old Jaffa's Ottoman and Crusader-era historical sites. The concierge assists with day trips to Jerusalem, the Dead Sea, and the Judean Hills wine regions.
