Second time I have stayed here beautiful peaceful location Staff very friendly

David, United Kingdom

We stayed here to do the early hike to Masada en that's really what this hotel is for. This is the best possible accommodation to do this activity. The rooms were very clean. We stayed with 4 people and it was really nice that the bathroom was well equiped for 4 people (seperate shower and toilet, two bathroom sinks).

Katrien, Netherlands

The breakfast and dinner are a plus in that remote area. Close to Masada!

Raphael, Austria

the location was great as we wanted to do Masada sun rise hike (roughly 1 hour walk). The room had adequate AC and it was relatively clean.

Will, Canada

Beautiful sunrise and barrenness of the surroundings made it a unique setting. The swimming pool.

Perfect location for visiting the Masada site. Excellent facilities in the room, no frills but clean and spacious. We also enjoyed the swimming pool.

“Best choice for early hike to Masada”
- • Leisure trip

The hotel is really basic, but also really expensive. It is clear that you only pay for location here. The breakfast was extensive, but the breakfast room looked like a school cafeteria and they did not refill the things that were gone. It was a pity that the pool opening hours were so limited.

In my view the hotel is often used for big groups of pupils/students so it can get very loud.

From the flyer given it almost seemed like dinner was complimentary. Of course, that's not the case. It worked out to be roughly 40 CAD per person? Food was okay considering it was in the middle of nowhere.

The hostel is an entire facility with many perks such as a pool, a cafeteria, basketball court, etc. Loved the ice cold water fountain at the entrance after a brutal hike up the snake path. Its located at the base of the park so it's easy to access.

The pool closes at 6pm which while a huge disapointment, was my only complaint.
It was the only place in israel i was able to get scrambled eggs with my breakfast and at the end of a three week trip that was incredible.

Breakfast was good. The air conditioning was not as cool as we might have liked. Also it is unfortunate that the pool is not open in the evening and there was no ball to use at the basketball court.

“The ideal stopover if you want to visit the Masada site, well served by buses from Jerusalem + Eilat”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Room
- • Stayed 1 night
The dinner was ok and welcome considering there would have been nowhere else to eat. It was disappointing there is no bar. Considering that young people are probably the main target group, we were well accommodated as an older couple and not inconvenienced by youthful exuberance in any way.
Perfect location for visiting the Masada site. Excellent facilities in the room, no frills but clean and spacious. We also enjoyed the swimming pool.
