Awesome location. Clean refreshing swimminingpool. Complete breakfast. Nice reception. Simple but good room.

We had a great one night stay at the hostel because we wanted to walk the snake trail for sunrise, the room was big with 3 bunk beds and 2 single beds. We arrived late, but just in time to have dinner (extra costs) which is served until 8.30 in a buffet style, everything was delicious. In the morning we took the trail, and returned for breakfast around 8.30, breakfast is served until 9.30 and was delicious as well. After that, we enjoyed the pool until we left around noon. The hostel is located just at the entrance to the snake trail in the middle of the desert.

Nice hotel with swimming pool in beautiful surroundings. Kind staff. Clean, large, comfortable room, tasty breakfast.

location at the base of Masada Park, a few meters of park entrance, ideal for the snake path at sunrise.

Great location for a hike to Masada and travel to the Dead Sea. Big choice for breakfast, clean comfortable rooms.

Great hostel at the feet of Massade. Great view from the lobby. Room with a lot of space! Lovely breakfast. Lovely!

I rate the accommodation as a youth hostel! It is not a 5 star hotel. The hostel is well managed. Very helpful staff at the check-in. The rooms are functional. It has a pool. The location in the desert is unique. Personally I think it is a nice hostel. Clean, lots of parking. Also, you can hike from there to Masada early in the morning to see the sunrise. Me and my group (was there with 18 people) were very satisfied. Really a good youth hostel. I had a misunderstanding with the front desk regarding dinner. They refunded the money on my credit card within minutes. Again: Staff was very accommodating.

Location directly next to the base station of the cable car and the museum is very convenient, if you want to access the fortress. The breakfast was a buffet and had many nice local dishes. We also had dinner there, which was also very good. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The dead sea is only about 14 km away and can be reached also by bus.

Location just in front of the Snake path, dinnner&breakfast.

Good location, next to Masada. If you want to see sunrise at Masada , this hotel will be your best choice. Also not far from Dead Sea as well !! Staff is friendly ! Compared with other hotels in Israel , this hotel price is reasonable and super clean. Breakfast is great too . If I come back to Dead Sea next time , I definitely will stay at this hotel again.
