歐羅巴1917飯店

We stayed here as part of a large tour group. We were on the ground floor (no stairs) at the end of the hall on the right. The room was large with high ceilings, very clean and beautiful! It had a comfortable king size bed and a Nespresso (the only REAL coffee we had in Israel till we got to the airport!). It also had a lovely patio. The food buffet was very good. They brought gluten free bread for those who asked. The ladies working in the restaurant were always smiling and very helpful. The biggest downside was the noise as our room was on a busy street. We heard drag racing till 3am. Others in our group heard nothing since they were on the other side. Bring your earplugs or white noise just in case.

Historic hotel with characterful rooms and gorgeous traditional reception area BUT that was where it ended. The service and cleaning were poor, there was trash left on my balcony from a previous guest and all the corridors and common areas looked dusty and in need of a good vacuum. The pool area was filthy, the sun loungers were stained and patio tables and chairs dirty and unwashed. It did not look inviting and the pool seemed chained the entire time we were there (apparently there is a life guide sometime during the day when we were out sightseeing but in the afternoons when we returned it was always closed up; however since it looked so dirty we would not have swum anyway). Most of the hotel is closed (spa, sauna, 5th floor terrace, evening restaurant and pool bar - all closed with no mention of this on the website). It is definitely not a five star hotel and was a massive rip-off in terms of price. I would give it three stars for the charming old style rooms and fairly decent breakfast buffet if you can turn a blind eye and ignore all the other areas which are a bit gross and if they lower their exorbitant prices. If you decide to ignore the bad reviews like we did, and book there anyway, be warned to lower your expectations.

I've stayed in a variety of Tiberias hotels, this one was the best among those lacking access to the Sea of Galilee. Liked the room's interior design, beds were comfy, everything was clean; we were two adults and a teen, the hotel made sure to arrange things so it would be easy to move around. Breakfast was typical of boutique hotels - varied without the extravagance - and the staff was quick to respond to our needs; the only downside I'd note is that the bread did not to be from a bakery (but rather "industrial"). The pool is adequate for off season - we visited in late April - but could be challenging at height of the season. Ample parking across the road. Note: I made the reservation, my partner gave them another credit card upon arrival but for some reason - they failed to explain why - the bill at checkout had my details (payment did come off the other card); something to handle upon arrival for those with specific bureacratic needs.

The room was comfortable and the atmosphere was nice, but the meals served in a "chef's restaurant" did not live up to our expectations. Dinner - while the salads were good there was little imagination in the main courses, and our most serious complaint is that the food was served lukewarm (at best). Dessert was also not a success. We knew breakfast on Saturday would be limited, but we expected more on Sunday morning. But instead, we got watery scrambled eggs and the same quiches from the previous day. In short, we were not satisfied by the food.
