Garden Hotel, Haifa, Israel

1. The room telephone did not work. 2. The ancient tv had totally muddled sound, as it is hidden behind glass. Very low definition with only 16 channels, only one in English. 3. Wall paper peeling. 4. Fridge was a freezer at first until someone came to adjust it. 5. Large room, but bare. 6. Breakfast was the skimpiest experienced in an Israeli hotel. Music in dining room was to the taste of the two young ladies serving, not customers.

The rooms are big and clean. However, the hotel is near an event venue, meaning there are LOUD events until late night. Also, through the entire night there were people in the corridor banging doors and talking loud, meaning- i wasn't able to sleep at all. Also, doors can't be locked from inside and the bathroom door doesn't lock. I didn't feel very safe.

It is relatively small hotel with 30 rooms. The rooms are big, relative to Israel hotels. There were some issues with the TV but they were always available to support. The breakfast is good (Israeli medium standard). We enjoyed our stay.

The front desk staff was welcoming and very willing to answer questions and help with any challenges that go with travelling in a different country.

Ma chambre était très exposée au bruit des voitures et la présence d’une salle de mariage accolée à l’hôtel n’a pas arrangé: mariage la nuit de ma visite !
