Last call: discounted hotels for tonight

What you should know

A hotel room is a product that disappears at midnight. A night that passes without a guest is revenue the hotel will never see again, so in the early afternoon, once it is clear which rooms will stay empty tonight, hotels prefer to sell them at a real discount off the full rate rather than keep them closed. That moment is what Israelis call last call, or dakah 90, the 90th minute, and it is the best opportunity for anyone who is flexible and decides fast.

At Nightel last call runs on a fixed clock: every day at 12:00 noon a new list opens of rooms that freed up for the coming night at hotels across the country, from Tel Aviv and Jerusalem to Eilat, the Dead Sea and the north. The list closes at midnight, and the booking is for one night, the coming night. On the site you see the hotel, the discount off the full rate and the rooms left, and the price itself is revealed in the app, where you also book.

Who is it for? Couples who feel like getting away tonight, families whose plans changed at the last minute, and anyone willing to trade early planning for a meaningful discount. The most important tip: look early in the afternoon, when the choice is widest, and stay flexible about the destination. The good rooms in the popular cities go first.
