Bathroom is cramped and shower is poor - water gets everywhere and doesn't dry since there's no vent/window. Otherwise, passable. Food is ok but almost the same for every meal. Some of the outlets don't work. Wi-Fi doesn't reach the top floor.

The staff is very kind and helpful, though the property has known better days. The hotel is not at walking distance from the lake or downtown Tiberias, in the middle of a residential area.

One night visit. The nice personal on reception. The hotel need renovation for example I got a room with broken floor near bathroom. Also was very noisy neighbors. I got the room without breakfast. In total:" for one night it's ok. Little bite far from the lake.".

This place had holes on the wall and the blankets weren't wash . I didn't feel safe to shower also and we plan to leave in the morning. Please think twice before booking here to avoid the trouble of leaving.

My first room the keys didn't work even after trying 2 sets. The second room was broken and dingy. Feels more line a motel then a hotel.

Was decent for a one night stay. Room smelled a bit stuffy and the AC wasn't the best. The room and bathroom was very small. Front desk was friendly and helpful. The hotel is located close to public transport stops, not quite within walking distance of much. The photos of the hotel looks a lot nicer than the actual place. Think you can find a bit better value for money in Tiberias.

Simple hotel with all amenities needed to enjoy. Breakfast was outstanding and well displayed. Beautiful location to reach nearby sites and access to fabulous bora bora beach. If you wish to enjoy the Sea of Galilee waters, plan to have water shoes and bring your own beach amenities and food and beer to enjoy the lovely waters.
