Haifa Hotels

- pretty central location if you are looking for the usual spots (Bahai Gardens in walkable distance) - nice view on the harbor from many of the rooms and from the roof - VERY friendly and helpful staff - Rooms were comfortable and clean - bus stops with lots of lines nearby, so I guess you will be able to get around easily (if you rely on public transport). Intercity bus stop just 5 stations away. - have been happy with the choice overall and would recommend it to others

- squeezy parking, not for claustrophobic cars or drivers with a tendency to bump into stuff... - in a busy neighborhood. So if you are looking for a quiet, garden-style setting, this is not the one.

Leaving

The staff were rude, the beds were hard and small and overridingly the location was ugly, loud, intimidating and un pleasant.

nothing

price of the room for one person

Close to restaurants and other local sites.

Good if you have young children as many were at the location. Hard to get some quiet moments.

Absolutely amazing facilities, kind staff, great location, great value for the money! I stayed in the 'unicorn room'- the one with the blue lights- and loved evey moment. The shower might just have been the best part of the amenities (youll have to stay to see...). AMAZING complimentary breakfast provided through a voucher with an adjacent resteraunt. Top notch all the way!! Also, the location in Haifa COULD NOT have been better, right at the foot of the Baha'i Gardens!

I liked it all. No complaints whatsoever.

Very good room, very good breakfast, great view!

Nothing, all ok

breakfast

elevators

the best location in Haifa, it is a walking distance from the Bahai' Gardens and close to the bus stops. I would recommend it for all type of travellers.

fickle Internet

The hotel staff is friendly and helpful; this is a step up front usual Israeli hotel staff many of which do not understand the concept of customer service. Israeli hotels, especially outside of Tel Aviv are still grappling with this concept. Same for retail and food stores.

Unfortunately, Israel is great at building things but very poor at maintaining them. The Crowne Plaza is typical was built but 15 years ago and is already starting to look shoddy around the edges. We noticed that mold is starting to appear, especially in the bathrooms, and the wood trim is beginning to rot away; Haifa can be quite humid during certain times of the year. Also, the hotels A/C is either on or off, no temperature settings other than 4 settings indicating warmer or colder; after that is just stays on blowing. Friends of ours stayed at a competing Dan hotel, but the situation is the same. They characterized it as a "tired" Hyatt.

The view

Poor service, low hygiene - dirty, bad & unfreshed food.

Only Sea View. ..

Service is not good enough, including the staff competencies, bath room and breakfast restaurant were dirty, delivery of the luggage from the room to the reception (when we checked out) took around 45 minutes... and we have been obliged to go back to the room, as nobody was in charge of it. Food was not at standard 4 stars hotel level (any fruits juices , any fresh fruits, but a lot of various salty meals for a breakfast.)Any direct access to a beach (as indicated in the hotel description). Hotel needs a general service improvement and refreshment!

Location is really good and it's right next to everything. I got the upgraded room which was very nice with my own bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. This is basic hotel where you can get a good night sleep on a budget.

Only 4 parking spaces..In a very cramped space. Yes parking is free but this could become a hustle sometimes during day when other cars park bad or block you.

Amazing staff, and clean facilities. Great price, best price I found In all of Israel for a Hotel room.

The hotel was so relaxing! Loved the treatments and all the food. The service was really good as well.

Ambiance of the hotel.I have stayed at the hotel on several previous trips to Israel and I recommended it to others.

I felt hotel was overbooked for the staff it had. The Dinner hours became problematic with seating.The staff seemed to be in a hurry to clear the tables.Certainly very different form my other previous visits to the Spa.I had with me 4 other guests from Canada, who checked out early!! Too bad.

Locatiom

run down and old

value for money for families with young children.

rooms are in need of renovation.

Very nice hotel, good breakfast and restaurant.

Hotel did not have bar/sitting area. Only central space was the restaurant. However, this is a guest house, not a hotel so that is not such a surprise.

Breakfast included was lavish and tasty and served with warmth in a wonderful open garden room/cafe style.

The wallpaper was black with some white flowers - nice but a bit too dark for our taste. The bathroom too, was black which although the lighting was good, it was a dreary feeling. Bathtub had jacuzzi which we do not like, and very narrow, so larger people would have trouble standing in it to shower!

access to beach and staff were very nice

not in the center of town

Let's start at the bottom. When you arrive the ramp to the reception area is blocked off so you can either hump your luggage up the ramp or a long flight of steep steps. The hotel offers only a paltry breakfast and nothing else food wise. They will if you request order take out from a locale fast food restaurant. While the lobby was updated the rooms were not. They look like something out of a cheaters motel. The carpet was torn and heavily stained, actually coming away from the walls. In the showers there is a towel warmer however it is not connected to the electrical service and is rusted along with the grommets on the shower curtain. You will get only one sheet on your mattress, no mattress cover is provided.

Staff are really helpful, room was clean, place presented well, good breakfast included. Wifi only on two bottom floors and closest shops about 1,5k away. For rpice good value.

It was a peaceful location, and quite pretty.

Even though it is not peak season, a hotel still has to offer guests services. This hotel doesn't. The sauna and spa were not in use except during the weekend period, the restaurant was closed etc. There are no shops nearby, so where do you get food when the restaurant is closed?

The food was excellent. The buffet dinners have a reputation locally and it was easy to see why.

I did gow tired of the lack of variety for breakfast and the lack of fresh fruit options. I used the internet every day but had to go and sign each day to use it. It would have been nice to buy a week at a time.

The staff were all amazingly helpful. It is close to the train station and the German colony with good restaurants and bars close by. Excellent breakfast buffet. I would definitely stay here again.
