No doubt, Port Inn will continue to be traveller’s favorite option. 5 minutes walk from Haifa Hashmona Railway station, and only $50 for double room! (Shared bath). Impeccable cleanliness. Friendly staff. Just perfect! 
Location
It’s 5 minutes walk from Haifa Hashmona. The road is mostly flat.
It’s 3 minutes walk to Metronit station (below) or to a bus stop that goes to Nazareth. A 24-hour grocery store is nearby. The hostel gave me a printed map! It was easy to navigate around!
Port Inn looks like a normal house from outside. Looks cozy even from outside. You enter with code. Or ring the bell for the reception.
This building next to Port Inn (blue gate) is a part of Port Inn too (only the second floor I think). The room with a red curtain was where I stayed.
There’s a hallway when you enter, and on the left is this common area with 3 desktop computers/ luggage room.
And on the right is the reception (I didn’t take any photo), and then 2 lounges. One is this one with lots of Bahai paintings
The other is like a living room and dining room. A mini kitchen is here (anyone can use it)
Oh! And there’s a nice garden! From here you can walk to parking… and that is why there’s a coded door before you enter the computer room.
The reception I met was informative. She looked tired, but she was friendly and helpful. She even asked if I needed help with my luggage. That’s such a polite gesture!
I paid $51.47 for a double room, with shared bath, and no breakfast. A dorm bed comes with breakfast and is for $25, but I figured I need better sleep more than free breakfast.
These rooms without sensors are probably dorms.
And our tiny double room! Small but comfortable! Plugs are easily found. Two towels per head! I was surprised! We stayed for 2 nights, and I was surprised that housekeeping came and changed new towels for us!
The receptionist showed us everything before she left. The shower is here. You can take really hot showers here (unlike…… forget it, haha!)
Toilet next to it. There’s another bathroom with shower and bath together. I didn’t see anyone else using the bathroom or toilet here, even though all rooms were sold out during my stay. Weird huh!
Tiny kitchen. Crockery. Oven. Microwave. Fridge.
I forgot how much was breakfast for. I would guess $10/head. Options seem limited.
The very informative receptionist gave my maps! I met 2 other receptionists later. They were all good friends and gave good vibes. She suggested us to check out Wadi Nisnas.
The map of Haifa～
The surrounding area. You don’t even need google when you have this map. Haha!
The grocery store nearby. I couldn’t communicate with the shopkeeper here. He’s a Catholic Arab, 35 years old. His dad is 60 and his mom 50. I somehow know this because I wanted to know if his family had been in this land for generations, and we had a gap in communication.
So, it is a good choice! From other options that I see, this is the best you can get!
By the way, one of the receptionists was a Christian Arab. She said most people don’t know 20% of the population are Arab!
I recommend Port Inn 🙂

Comment：Very friendly. Good breakfast. 24 hours snack in lobby. The room is not big.
