Great location in Ein Gedi. Perfectly adequate accommodation with nice balcony and bathroom. Breakfast exceeded expectations--a large spread of hot and cold foods. Good advice and discounts from the front desk staff. Great location close to the nature reserve and easy access to public beach in Ein Bokek.

The rooms were spacious, the beds were very comfortable and we liked the balcony. I liked the territory of the hotel, it's nice to walk around and also it has playground. The breakfast and dinner were great and tasty. Also the hotel is located right by the Ein Gedi Park and the drive to Ein Gedi spa is only 10 minutes.

Due to Corona we were unable to continue our tour of Israel and this property refused to give us a refund or even a credit for future use. So when we return to Israel we will not be staying here.

The price much higher than in other regions in Israel but there's not much competition in the area so that explains it. Also, sadly there's no official beach on the shore of the Dead Sea nearby - that's a drawback
Spacious room with a great view, crisp sheets, clean bathrooms. Breakfast was amazing - a variety of foods including some local specialty like shakshuka. Wow! The staff was friendly and helpful beyond expectations.

There is no locker in the room, however the staff offers to keep your valuables but you have to "check them in" and out in a given time window within the day. It would be great if they could install lockers. Also note that there is no supermarket near the hostel, bring your food if you don't want to have a quite expensive dinner (for hostel standards).
The location is great to hike in the area. The breakfast buffet is great and there is a lot of variety to please everyone.

You have to consider bringing earplugs if you are a light sleeper. It is a youth Hostel, and there can be noise from joyous fellowship. You can hear when the neigbor shower 2 o´clock in the morning, En Gedi Beach is closed! - You will have to use the hotels pools with a surcharge or drive to En Bok 30 minutes away for the public beach.
Great morning view - sunrise over the Moab mountains is spectacular! Easy check inn proces. Great help in getting at least a cup of coffee, when arriving late.
