Tiberias hotels

Pros: Beautiful hotel with a wonderful history. The rooms and the grounds were perfect.

Cons: Although the view is amazing over the Sea of Galilee, the area around the hotel is not nice. It was run down and dirty with cheap games arcades and loud bars.

Pros: Breakfast excellent. Location very good.

Cons: The Ceilidh bar staff were lacking in knowledge of the products they could offer. Some advertised drinks were unavailable.

Pros: The garden, the view, the food!, the king rooms

Cons: Many stairs

Pros: View, quality, food

Cons: The pool closed at 7 pm , why???

Pros: the hotel is in a beautiful location ,and the hotel provides wonderful food both dinner and breakfast , sumptuous grounds , gorgeous swimming pool and a cool bar, next time would stay in the older part of the hotel as far superior than the main building its very clean and the staff are very helpful, overall a great experience and I would definitely return. Also a great gym that I used , very clean and functional

Cons: I took a lake view room in the main building but these rooms seem a little tired with very small bathrooms. For the price paid there should be fruit offered in the room as a welcome. might be worth going the extra mile and taking one of the more expensive rooms for an added dimension

Pros: Gorgeous setting, beautiful gardens, and wonderful swimming pool.

Cons: Room could use refreshing as decor is old.

Pros: The premises are beautiful and unique. You feel like you are in a special place

Cons: Some rooms don't have a lake view, important to ask beforehand

Pros: All the staff were professional and friendly.

Cons: The only criticism is that for the two nights we had the (buffet) dinner in the hotel there was no fruit available for dessert.

Pros: The suit is very good, The view, and the weather...

Cons: The service it's terrible, the food was not more then regular, really poor menu, with this prices you are expecting to something really nice... The only nice thing ... Was the view... Real...bad and should be really cheap!!

Pros: it's in a beautiful location with wonderful amenities and amazing breakfast.

Pros: One good receptionist called William, saw that there was something abnormal and that we were in big stress, so he offered us a coffee, till the problem was solved .. at least he talked in a very polite and respectful way

Cons: One of my worst experiences in hotels, if not the worst .! For the least problem with our reservation, “that wasn’t our fault, the reception “manager “ made us wait for 1.5 hours before we enter the dining room,, till the problem was solved ..!!! She wouldn’t allow us to enter the dining room to eat and then to solve the problem , although we told her that we will pay any extra charges in case.... Very very rude , and impolite behavior ..!! When we entered the hotel , another man who came with his family was also shouting because the same manager, took him from the table at the dining room in order to solve a problem with his reservation ...!!! The worst treatment I have ever seen in hotels,, I hope such a thing doesn’t happen to you when you reserve to this hotel by mistake , because this will ruin your holiday.. of a problem with our reservation..!! The way she talked with me was very impolite..!! She allowed us to enter in the last 10 minutes.. She can’t deal with the simplest problems.. This is the first time I ever had such a bad experience in a hotel!!!!!

Pros: The hotel is very comfortable, the views are breathtaking and our room was spacious and luxurious

Cons: Actually besides the fact that is expensive... I really liked everything about it and we will definitely be going back there...

Pros: The accommodations, the amazing place and view , and the swimming pool .

Cons: I would like to have more variety of fruits ( melon, water melon , banana, kiwi, )at breakfast.

Pros: Nice size rooms Good breakfast Good location

Cons: This place needs a facelift. It’s old!!!

Pros: The room was nice and clean with a great view

Cons: Checking in to the hotel was the longest check-in I'd ever experienced

Pros: I was disappointed that the pool was filled and they wouldn’t let me sit in the pool area. Also would have preferred a room facing the kineret and with sunshine on the terrace we faced the back part of the Hotel with no sun and not a pretty view and when we checked in the hotel was pretty empty

Pros: The hotel was centrally located in Tiberias. It also had an incredible breakfast!! Beautiful view.

Cons: The property is a bit dated and doesn’t feel sparkly. The tub faucet didn’t reach far enough into the tub and it dripped all over the floor.

Pros: Great view and welcoming staff, manager introduced himself, pool was brilliant.

Pros: Fabulous location looking out on the Sea of Galilee quite lively on a night

Pros: Actual accomadations were clean and fresh and welcoming staff was very helpful.

Cons: Called the front desk that we will be in a little after checkout time,and they said it would not be a problem. By the time we arrived all our belongings were gone. Front desk didnt communicate with cleaning crew. Pretty frustrating.

Pros: not much

Cons: attitude of staff was terrible. was given incorrect information by staff and was woken by drilling in the morning

Pros: Way overpriced! We had a Junior suite, old looking & The View was from the living room, the bed was surrounded by 2 walls & old tv screen these prices are meant for minimum 2005 updated rooms! Food was great at breakfast buffet, it was pretty hot in the room, no parking

Pros: great view

Cons: Poor service, impolite staffs, old facilities.Terrible sanitation, there was even mark of sputum in the basin. The price of this hotel doesn't meet the quality at all!

Pros: Loved the view looking over the Sea of Galilee!!

Cons: Balconies were small with room for only one chair. Construction was in progress unfortunately and did take away a bit from property but overall our stay was great. Because we couldn’t have wine on the balcony we enjoyed a glass out by the pool.

Pros: The staff were very pleasant and tried to be helpful.

Cons: The breakfast was just so so. The bed was the most uncomfortable bed that I have ever slept on. The room was horrible and the furniture looked like it was from 1960.

Pros: Friendly helpful competent staff.

Cons: WiFi in room was erratic.

Cons: work site right outside our balcony

Pros: Good selection during breakfast & dinner buffet - plenty of dishes & replenished regularly. We enjoyed the experience of kibbutz & the fact that you get an opportunity to be exposed to Orthodox Jewish culture - you will certainly not get it in the B&B in Tel Aviv.

Cons: We chose the hotel because of its convenient location for Jesus Trail hike - and quite frankly I would not have stayed there otherwise. We stayed in the old wing where rooms were very outdated & in need of refurbishment - certainly not what one would rate 4 stars by European standards (& certainly not for that price). Because the room was so old it was hard to say if some things were just ‘wear & tear’ or the room simply needed a good clean (air vents were full of dust that’s for sure). There is an indoor swimming pool & sauna but they are open only during certain hours - one session for men, one for women and one mixed. So unless you are lucky to arrive around the time of mixed session, you cannot enjoy the pool as a family/couple to cool down after the hot day. Also mixed session seemed to be mostly families with kids which favoured one particular corner of the pool where (cold) jacuzzi was. Perhaps it’s just a matter of managing expectations - just please don’t expect 4 stars resort with beautiful swimming pool facilities & plenty of things to do.

Pros: Good breakfast, serviceminded staff.

Pros: Shahills welcome at the Lavi Bar. Having walked from Kafr Cana. A happy welcoming person was certainly appreciated. Promote that guy from Arbel. The food was exceptional with great variety. The swimming pool was refreshing and the sauna and Jacuzzi were a welcome treat. The dedication to meticulous detail of organising diner, lunch and breakfast and the spacious room sizes provided a sense of clarity. Promote that chef. The customised omelette was very tasty.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The staff were very attentive to myself and my group's needs. When we needed a meeting room on a very busy night, they staff went above and beyond to find a place for my group. The dining room had a good variety every evening, so there was always something for everyone. While the hotel rooms definitely show some wear, the staff, dining and view make it worthwhile to consider this place to stay when visiting the Sea of Galilee and Tiberias.

Pros: The room was clean, the location was perfect, in the food was very good. The staff was helpful. We would definitely come staying in.

Cons: We liked how clean the hotel was. It was in a very good location. And the staff was very helpful.

Pros: The breakfast and dinner are truly outstanding at this hotel. The view of the Sea of Galilee is incredible from virtually all of the rooms and was so from ours. The indoor swimming pool was wonderful and at just the right temperature. It is heated from naturally heated water from a nearby spring. This makes the spa area the best place to visit. They also have an excellent selection of spa services. I highly recommend staying here, especially if you are from North America. Everyone I talked to spoke excellent English.

Cons: The person directing me to the car parking area was less than helpful. I ended up going inside to ask how do I get my car parked in their free parking garage. (It is directly underneath the hotel.) The inside staff were quite helpful.

Pros: Great location.

Cons: Roomd are a bit dated.

Cons: Young Children were allowed in the spa - against the posted rules, but no one stopped the parents from bringing their children in the spa area. It was very disappointing. They were loud, and probably peed in the water. Very bad.

Pros: The staff are very kind, polite, professional and attentive, they gave 100%+ effort in their service, and welcomed me and my friend in open arms by calling us before and during the stay to meet our expectations. The room was comfortable and clean, the food was really delicious and we got some extra food and drinks delivered to our room which was a very pleasant surprise. I really enjoyed my stay and I'm glad I chose to stay in Hotel Leonardo in this vacation. Recommended.

Pros: Fantastic staff! Accommodated every request. We had several of our group become ill, and the Leonardo allowed us to retain our rooms for 6 hours past normal checkout! They went way beyond expectations. Rooms were clean, comfortable and with excellent views of the Sea of Galilee.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The breakfast was nice

Cons: The fact that there were no access to the lake. This was not clear at the time of booking. The standard was not in relation to the price and the service inadequate.

Pros: Good location

Pros: The people very friendly and welcoming

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Beutiful cineret sea view. Very ausome place. Thank you very much. Very recommended:)

Pros: Yara went out of her way to see that we were welcome--she is terrific.

Cons: More hot food at breakfast.

Pros: Perfect diner and breakfast- Wonderful location

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The breakfast buffet. The swing and the view.

Cons: There was no hot water in one of our cabins and there were youth groups who partied all night with yelling, screaming, running in and out and playing very loud music. We hardly slept.

Pros: view, nature around, location, very good Wi Fir also in the garden it was possible to use strong range

Cons: not clearly marked entrance road to the hostel from Kinneret lake road

Pros: great location and wonderful view. it was my first time at this particular hostel. I was pleasantly surprised. staff was helpful, rooms clean and comfortable with view to the lake. amazing terrace.

Pros: We only came for one night. The place looks great and the view is amazing. The staff was super nice and was very welcoming. They answered all of our questions and also let us do a late checkout. The room is very nice and clean.

Cons: There were lots of families having a "Bar Mitzvah" that weekend. We wanted to sleep late but there was a lot of noise in the morning.

Pros: The breakfast was good.

Cons: They didn't open the dinning room on time. They supposed to open it by 07:00, but they didn't open it before 07:15 the 3 days I spent there, and I was on a hurry.

Pros: Location, location, location Panoramic view of the sea of the Galilee.

Cons: You must hire a car in order to reach there. I'm not sure if there is any public transportation at all.

Pros: elevators are disorganized and very slow overall great stay

Pros: Food was ok. Room ok and clean .

Cons: Too much noisy. Very slow reception staff. Charger was left and was not returned to us. VAT charges were not clear to local residents.beverages in very poor quality were not sufficient .

Pros: food, all inclusive concept, near everything

Cons: too much time to wait for the lifts, internet bandwitch was howfull

Cons: This was an amazing holiday. The food was excellent and plentiful and excellent. The kids activities were superb. I wouldn't suggest it for adult without kids as it can get noisy at times but that's because the kids are having a ball. A huge shout out to Anat Ohayon who looked after us from the moment we booked our reservation to the the time we checked out and beyond. Also to the manager Shukri Amara who was always present to make sure everything was to our expectations. Will definitely come again...

Pros: Location

Cons: Eat

Pros: All in one, very convenient. Very close to everything you need. Quiet neighborhood and beautiful scenery.

Cons: Not the most comfortable for couples due to lots of kids and families so relaxing at the pool is slightly difficult. Also, the gym is basically a room with treadmills so no real exercise equipment.

Pros: I liked the hotel.

Cons: I had a lot problems with the card that open the door to the room. Every time that I wanted to enter the room.. The key card did not work. I had to go to the lobby every time that I wanted To go to the room.

Cons: No parking. Very crowded. Small Spa , which is also not free of charge. Early check out.

Pros: Over all my stay at the hotel was good. The hotel wasn't fully booked so it was very quiet and I loved it. The food is amazing. Especially for non Israelis, the experience of the food is something you shouldn't miss. No where in the world will you get a decent breakfast like in Israel! The hotel is located right on the sea of galili and has a private beach, don't miss it. It also has a private water park - perfect for kids of all ages. The staff at the hotel is there to please and help in any way possible.

Cons: The only down side to the whole stay was the price. With taxes I paid over 3,600 nis for 2 nights B&B - 1 adult+3 kids under 12 y. For that price I could have flown to Cyprus or Greece... But so are the prices in Israel...

Pros: The water park was great, although too crowded, feels like there is no limit to how many people can go in at once.

Cons: The hotel is very outdated, the rooms are old, I do understand that renovation can be complicated, but even small things like changing the shower head can go a long way in terms of comfort, especially in a family hotel. The one elevator that to all the floors was not operating properly, shabbat regime, that was very problematic with one member of our family being a kidney transplant patient who found it very hard to stand on his feet and wait for such a long time. The other elevator that was working properly was far and several stairs away. The water park and the pool are quite good, although we felt like there are not nearly enough shaded areas around the pool, which was problematic at this hot weather. Also only a very small part of the pool itself is shaded.

Pros: I had to pay the VAT not mentioned on the website

Cons: The staff and refreshments could be better

Pros: I have to mention a guy from the team called Anwar, this guy is really kind and understanding

Pros: The area around the outside swimming pool where the site photographs are taken are the only decent part of the hotel. the pool was shut for winter .

Cons: The door man did not offer to help with luggage or allow us to park in the car park even though there was room . The reception staff when we asked to check in did not even even look up to greet us - just handed us a Ipad to complete . the room was not very clean . Many stains on the carpet , windows dirty, no bath plug. At Breakfast there were no china cups - just paper . We saw several tour groups arrive- it is evident that the hotel do not wish or need to engage with the individual customer . this was shown by their lack of interest . we asked where they recommend to eat in town and they could not suggest anywhere ! We had the option to stay another night but left as soon as we could and went elsewhere

Cons: The heavy metal music, the parking to check into the hotel was terrible

Cons: The hotel is in very tired condition. It desperately needs to be renovated. Considering how very expensive it is to stay here, I expect the condition of the rooms, grounds, etc to be much better. It's a shame since the location is excellent.

Pros: Right on kinneret. At night it was relaxing to just hang out outside by lake

Cons: Outdoor bar was closed. Far from city.

Pros: I love this hotel !! - its Very close to the beach .. the food is great, very relaxing vibes:-)

Cons: The pool and the beach closing at 17:00 - much to early !!

Pros: Friendly Staff attentive to the needs Excellent dîner and breakfast Large room with a beautiful view of the lake Spa swimming pool and access to the lake we perfect

Cons: Bathroom was a bit old

Pros: reasonable room space free parking relatively good respond from elevator good breakfast

Cons: no restaurants, except the large dining toom no food on friday evening due to "kashrut" issues stony entrance to the water on the Kinnereth beach

Pros: Great location by the sea. Nice view from the room. Parking facilities. Nice staff.

Cons: The hotel in general needs an upgrade.

Pros: The staff,breakfast,the rooms

Cons: Not enough parking places

Pros: I left my expensive headphones in my room when I checked out. The staff was honest and kept them safe until I returned at their hotel 4 weeks later..wow! When I travel to Tiberias I stay at Prima Galil. Thank you! Keep up the good work-

Pros: The staff is amazing! Malik did a great job to fix issues for me and my friends. Ronen and his crew go above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Great place to stay!

Pros: The hotel was very nice and the staff super friendly.

Cons: The shower doesn’t have a door, so the bathroom floor gets soaking wet and there were only 2 towels (for 2 people)

Pros: The staff are quite friendly, especially the manager, providing guest a very impressive service!

Pros: Excellent, conveniently located breakfast. Comfortable accessible room. Hotel, in general, was very accessible to handicapped guests. Staff very nice (most of them anyway).

Cons: On an ugly, out of the way street, not near anything interesting, with no view of anything attractive, let alone the Sea of Galilee. Also, the elevator door was very dangerous, closed aggressively and quickly, even if you tried to hold them open, and injured my handicapped friend by closing on her as she was trying to make her way out on crutches. They very much need to be fixed!!

Pros: Large and well appointed room. Very helpful staff. Lovely breakfast. On site free parking.

Cons: A little way out of the centre up a steep hill. But there was plenty of parking in the town centre in November and inexpensive taxis. Situation may not suit everyone.

Pros: The staff was amazing, the big rooms and the food

Cons: The location was a bit off, the hotel is old but that is part of his charm

Pros: Very nice place with balcony, in a quiet environment The team was very helpful and kind, notably at the restaurant for the breakfast where they care for us by asking what they can cook for us (in addition to the buffet ) ! Close to the old city , 7 to 10 min by walk. Very well located in a peaceful area:)

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Dirty, shoddy, staff was not helpful or pleasant. Breakfast was bad

Pros: The reception staff were warm welcoming and particularly helpful. The room was quiet with a balcony and set apart from the rooms occupied by noisy coach parties. It is clean tidy and well maintained. The hotel is 1.5 miles downhill to the promenade but there are buses

Cons: BREAKFAST....this Hotel accommodates very large parties of tourists ...while we were there up to 4 coach loads per day . Breakfast begins for these groups from approx 6am. Therefore by the time independent travellers like us come down at 8am the food has been sitting in the heat for at least 2 hours. Items such as fresh fruit are sadly absent from the menu and on 2 of the 3 days we stayed the coffee machines were not available. We also noted that many of the hot items apart from pastries and egg were in fact the previous days left over dinner options for the groups. There needs to be a separate seating area for independent travellers staying 3 days and proper attention to their needs rather than grumpy and somewhat challenging rudness from the male breakfast manager. Or provide fresh breakfast at 8 am for those not in groups.

Pros: Breakfast selection was extensive and plenty of options depending on your preferences and diet needs.

Cons: The entire hotel, including the hallways and rooms are very dated. The bathrooms have the old, moldy, dirty feel to them. There was no shampoo or conditioner and the only soap available was from a dispenser by the sink, which means you have to get out of the shower to get soap. I didn't realize this would be the case and didn't have shampoo or conditioner.

Pros: Room was spacious and included a balcony. Host provided a welcome fruit and nut platter which was a nice and welcomed surprise. Bed was comfortable and bathroom was clean. Since we had a family of 4, the host placed our rooms side by side. Buffet style breakfast was ok although ground coffee machine made fresh coffee was very good. Close to hotel we found a good restaurant that served traditional grilled meats with traditional 18 salad dishes for dinner.

Pros: Breakfast was superb,as well as the dinner. The staff was really nice and service was outstanding The place is located on the shore of lake Galilee and very beautiful and peaceful.

Cons: Some of the rooms has seen better days and the beds was a little to hard for my taste

Pros: Location, meals, staff, vouchers!

Cons: No beach or swimming pool.

Pros: As always, nice place and very comfortable.

Cons: We wanted a late checkout, after 11am, due to long sport activity. Ending around noon time. We were denied. I believe that during mid week, off season, where vacancy is not an issue, this request could be accepted

Pros: The staff all were very freindly and made it their mission to make my Wife and I feel like part of the family. We felt at home.

Cons: The only small thing that we would find as an improvment is if the bed could be a double bed and not two single beds.

Pros: The location, very nice

Cons: In the room there was a terrible smell of pipe in the room and it was cold

Pros: The food at Ohalo was absolutely delicious and better than any 5-star restaurant. We were blown away with especially the dinners. The staff were all so friendly and helpful especially Shapti (can't spell his name - the young man at reception). We loved the clean rooms, comfortable beds and great airconditioning, because we experienced temperature of 40 degrees on some days. Eating breakfast with the view of the sun rising over the Sea of Galilee (Lake Kinneret) was very special.

Pros: the pool

Cons: It was grubby

Cons: views of the beach but a half hour walk if you wanted to go there.

Pros: + From the balcony I had a great view of the sea. + The staff was very kind and did really great job helping me with my problem. + The room was nice and clean.

Cons: - But the room was also a bit old. - The breakfast is not so good - very little choice.

Pros: The vew

Cons: The location and the price

Pros: The staff were helpful. We were a family of 12 with 5 rooms and they put us all next door to each other. Rooms were comfortable and each one had a balcony with a view of the Sea of Galilee. Breakfast was great.

Cons: Parking was tough at times. Big buses are allowed to block parking for cars/vans and to park behind the cars/vans and block them in.

Pros: Very nice hotel and friendly staff The pool îs super nice and makes tne big diferende. Good breakfast too

Pros: Free parking, wonderful breakfast included, and located on a hill with excellent lake view. The view is also spectacular from the swimming pool.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: the fruit when we arrived! The view of the lake, the big windows

Cons: the late morning pool opening hours. At 10 one is usually out on day trips.

Pros: They made alternate accommodations in a comparable hotel one block away, at the same rate. I would have appreciated some advance notice, though, but they did take care of everything before I arrived and were helpful in letting me know the situation when I arrived. T

Cons: Would have appreciated some advance notice about the hotel change.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Dirty

Cons: The dinner was expensive and not good Also you need to walk 200 m to get there

Pros: Breakfast was wonderful. Great view of the Sea of Galilee. Staff was friendly and helpful. Has an elevator / lift. Bed was comfortable. Has a kitchenette.

Cons: Would have been elegant when built, but is now in need of small repairs. Good value for the price.

Pros: Very pleasant staff. Good location - close to the centre of the town. Possible to park a car for free. A rather quiet area. Very useful with the small kitchenette! The breakfast is served in the hotel nearby - good food and selection.

Cons: Nothing really.

Pros: Location

Cons: Breakfast in another hotel, building looks old and needing renovation

Pros: The staff were very nice and helpful and loved the balcony overlooking Sea of Galilee

Pros: really nice staff, very helpful.

Pros: Location and balcony and food

Cons: Nothing

Cons: We came for one night, to rest before long sport activity, which exceeded the checkout time by 1 hour. Normally, when you ask for 1 hour late checkout, the hotel allows. Especially on Saturdays, when people very seldom check in and orthodox people must wait till sunset to drive. It seems the in-shift reception clerk, was not in the "mood" to help, so he gave us some lame excuse. Pitty... We come to the sea of Galilee very often for sport. We probably won't be coming back to this hotel.
