We paid 200 euro a night for this below average hotel that's literally falling apart. Let me add context, we live in Brussels, Europe's most expensive capital after Amsterdam. For 200 euro in Brussels you can stay at the 4 star Warwick Brussels, the 4 star Harmon House, in Amsterdam you can stay at the 4 star innside by Milea Hotels.... You get the idea. All these included weekend peak prices. So what's so bad..... 1. The hotel is literally falling apart, see the pictures. 2. The staff don't like foreigners, that's very evident because service is NON EXISTENT - from checking in to asking questions... Zero, just attitude (e.g. when we checked in we explained to the boy on front desk, ego spent more time worrying over his appearance than looking after us, that our cases had been lost and we had no clothes or toiletries and where could we find one please "there are lots" was what we got - not helpful) 3. They must have a deal with taxi companies as according to reception going anywhere, (old port, Azreili mall, Hacarmel market) required a taxi, also the only way to buy bus passes is at tourist offices, so we're Belgian, we don't do just paying money out, we walked 15-20 mins to Azreili mall and got the transport ticket. Uber is non existent, which again tells me that it's a price fixing scam. 4. It's just a basic hotel in desperate need of renovation and improvement - the rooftop pool is just bad, a basic fibreglass tub stuck on the roof with badly installed decking around it. 10 nis or 2.70 euro for a coke! 5. If you like your hotel on the beach, yep this has that, but God help you if your room is roadside, as the front of the hotel is under/in the concrete main road! Also midweek parties that go on until 5am are a thing. 6. The walls are toilet paper thin, you can hear every other room, everything sand for a light sleeper this is a problem. 7. LGBTQIA+ - THERE'S A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ACCEPTANCE (which they don't) AND TOLERANCE (barely, in-between judgment and sniggering) this hotel and Israel has far to go to match Belgium, Netherlands, even Malta. Not worth the money, but as they make you pay up front you can't leave, you're stuck with it. You've been warned, the rest is up to you.
