Hostel HI - Ein Gedi Hostel

M.P. dead sea 86980, Ein Gedi, 86980 , Israel –

*9.2* Ein Gedi National Park: only 4 minutes away! (1,100 feet by foot)

Lock in a great price for HI - Ein Gedi Hostel – rated 8.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

Located in a very pretty area along hwy 90, inexpensive, great starting point for hikes in the Ein Gedi National Park, and an excellent stop on the way to hike Masada Snake Trail at sunrise (you can do what we did: drive to hike the Snake Trail and be back for breakfast - which is varied, tasty and fulfilling)

Piotr, United States of America

Great view, big and clean room with balcony. Much better that we expected from a hostel. The stuff was friendly and helpful, the food was good value for that money we paid. Breakfast and dinner was buffet with medium selection.

Peter, Hungary

The property was well-maintained and very clean. The staff greeting us was exceptional – giving us information and ideas of things to do. We ate dinner as well as breakfast and both had very good food. We stayed in a room in the new building. Very new, very nice, very comfortable. Would highly recommend.

Paul, United States of America

Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was large and comfortable. Great location for Dead Sea and Masada.

Deborah, United States of America

A good surprise. We went for the holiday. The meals were great as in a good hotel . The stuff was helpful.

Eggs were yummy and they extended breakfast for us after we were late coming back from Masada.

עידן, Israel

I love that this property is exactly as described. It’s simple and clean. The location is perfect. The rooms are spacious with amazing views of the Dead Sea. Breakfast is good, not amazing. We paid for dinner and it was also good. There are not many options for food nearby so it worked well for our group. The men at the front desk were very helpful and patient.

“Convenient Staging Post for Dead Sea and Walking Trails.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Family Room
- • Stayed 1 night
The Hostel is a very large complex set up for large school and other groups. It felt a little like being on a school camp so not like a typical hostel environment. This is, perhaps, not clear in the general description. Great for a one night stay, but maybe not as congenial for longer if you are a solo traveler or a couple.
Location is good - well placed between Jerusalem and Eilat and close by the Ein Gedi trails and walks - close to the Dead Sea. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Would be a reasonable base for exploring this region.

“It was an excellent and comfortable stay. They just need to be better with kitchen/dinner options.”

The kitchen facility in room was very less. At least a microwave should be provided to heat the stuffs, specially because the dinner at the hotel restaurant was at an exorbitant price. there should be some more reasonable dinner options too if you cant provide the proper kitchen to guests.
Sparkling clean. Beautiful view from balcony, Excellent location. Best for people who want to hike to Nahal David or Arugot.

Some aspects of the building are a bit dated and need some refurbishment, eg window locks.
The location is spectacular. As a hostel the accommodation is simple. The food is good, but not fancy. The staff are polite and efficient. It is excellent value for money.
