Pros. We stayed here with our two children, ages 10 and 15, in a family room. The room had a nice bed for us and two bunk beds for the kids, and a private shower and bathroom. Everything was very clean (except our outside balcony which was covered with bird poop, but whatever; the birds were there first). The food was amazing - yes, it's institutional food, but it's great for families with picky children - you can eat as much of the thing that you like! There was a TON of vegetarian options, also (we are vegetarians). Best variety of eating in all of Israel. There is also a cafeteria in the Masada museum, so you can get falafel and other types of sandwiches - even pizza. The workers there are also very friendly and helpful. It is also a nice place to meet other travelers and families. It's also a perfect location to climb the Snake Path; you wake up early in the morning (4:30am for us) and get started with everyone else. The Egged bus public transportation is right outside the door so you can easily go to Ein Bokek beach the day that you climb Masada - in fact we took public transportation all throughout Israel. The pool was incredible - it was so hot outside and so it was wonderfully refreshing - as you swim or sit in the pool you can enjoy the gorgeous view of mountains - we only wish the pool stayed open later! I'd stay here again and again. Also there is a great video to watch before you climb Masada and there is a museum attached. In fact, staying here is like staying in a museum / learning institution - do be prepared for student groups, but be happy that they are learning along with you.

Cons. I wish the pool stayed open longer, and maybe a little less bird poop on the our room's balcony. There was a lot of cigarette smoking in the hallways, but other than that the place was perfect, one of our favorite places to stay.
