Andrew, United States of America

Location at the foot of Masada is the best, especially for those who want to do a sunrise hike.

Mark, United States of America

I stayed in the dorm and the room was so spacious and extremely clean with a huge restroom inside. Beds are quite confortable so comfort is definitely a pro in Masada Hostel. The buffet breakfast served till 9:30 (thought for those early birds eager to climb up to Masada before the sunshine and come back so they can't miss breakfast) was just AMAZING! So many stuff to choose and everything was just delicious!

Location is amazing, just under Masada. Easy to climb up the hill from hostel. Breakfast was great. Room was spacious and clean.

Bathroom in private room smelled like urine and floor was very dirty too. Mirror had obviously not been wiped clean as it was covered with water and toothpaste spots.Large parties of very loud Israeli teens and large parties of Israeli families. Israelis in general talk loudly so it was quite noisy in the room because the entire building was marble and stone. Getting to sleep before 10 pm was impossible with all the kids yelling and laughing and music and talking in hallways and courtyards right outside rooms.Have stayed in quite a few HI hostels and none were as loud and noisy. Not anywhere even close.
Location and restaurant and mattress was really comfortable.

Noise throughout all night, lots of kids constantly running around. Unpleasant staff in the cantine. Most staff members had a low level of English. Dirty bathroom (blood on the mirror).
Location is excellent for those who wish to hike to Massada for the sunrise. It is also close to the Dead Sea by car.
