Had a great time...The scenery from our room was beautiful.If you are looking for a lovely place in the mountains,this is a great spot. Some of the food was a little too spicy for an American palette like the tomato soup and sauteed turkey pieces. The breakfasts were plentiful ,the dinners need a bit more side dishes to accompany the fish,chicken and meats. Chicken Shnitzel was the best and should be on the menu at all times along with pasta and french fries. The indoor pool was great..

The room I was given was located in a noisy area, and I could hear construction taking place on the floor above me. The hot water supply was limited, and the showerhead was in poor condition. Additionally, the bed sheets were not changed, and the room had a strong scent of cheap perfume. It was not cleaned thoroughly enough.

Ok hotel with a nice view
Nice hotel.. the service was ok, the rooms are renovated, and the view is beautiful, but these are all the nice things I can say about it.. there was no hot water (for all of our rooms - 7 in number), and when towels called the reception they said they will check, but never called us back.. The food was terrible, and the indoor pool smelled like chlorine and urine..

Very basic but comfortable
This is a very comfortable, but bare bones hotel. Comfortable beds, plenty of storage space, but no fancy amenities. We were making a wedding at the hall next door, and this worked well as a place to do hair and makeup, and then sleep over after the wedding. If luxury is what you're looking for, this isn't it, but it got the job done. The breakfast was good and very plentiful. When I called for more towels, they were delivered right away.

Nice Vacation
The hotel was overall very nice. Most of the staff were very nice and helpful, except for one who was plain rude. One of our rooms was very un-maintained with broken wooden floor tiles and a door that doesn't close. The food was great and the restaurant staff was extremely helpful. Overall - it's a very quiet, comfortable hotel for families, and a nice mid-priced solution for a short vacation.

בשביל הנוף
המלון נעים, בעיקר בנוף ובמרחבים. הנוף מהחדר היה קסום ומרגיע. הידר היה מעט צר, היו נמלים ותקלה בוונטה בשרותים שהרעישה בכל פעם שהורידו מים האוכל היה בסדר. כיף שיש ספריה בלובי.

A solid 8.26 out of 10
Very nice, quiet place up in the hills outside Jerusalem. Pleasant grounds, pretty well kept. Not like an American hotel, but this ain't America. A solid workout room with new equipment. Decent pool, sauna and steam. Food looked good, although I went out to eat. Buffet-style. If u book thru hotels.com u get a free meal (besides the Included breakfast). Whole place is half old-school charmy and half just getting old. Beautiful scenery all around.

The water pressure in the shower is the best of any hotel ever. The gym is really good, and the surrounding nature is breathtaking. They just have this wierd thing where you have to get a gym towel from the reception desk, which is quite a ways from the gym. Not sure why. But all in all a great place to stay, and the mid-afternoon "hallway snacks" are an extra treat. Third time staying there.

We requested a double bed and received 2 single beds connected. We were moved to a room above a party that was happening in the hotel and felts like we were part of the party. Then we were moved to another room where the towels were wet and dirty from the previous stay. The staff was very nice and kept trying to help. The breakfast was not filled with new food when we arrived at 09:30 and had leftovers.

Тихий отдых на природе
Номер был уютным, звукоизоляция хорошая. Вид из окна просто потрясающий, воздух чистейший. Завтрак скудный. Спа скромный: бассейн очень большой, но сауны слишком малы, буквально на пару человек рассчитаны. Полотенца для спа нужно брать почему-то на ресепшен, т.е. на другом этаже. Сервис не на высоком уровне, с чистотой тоже проблемы: на завтраке долго искала чистую чашку, в номере пыль на полках. Скучно в отеле, на всей территории отеля вы найдете только стулья, лежаки и один теннисный стол на всех гостей

sub level hotel search another alternatives
We came to the hotel after we booked in advance through the Hotels site, there was no reception according to the minimum standard of 4 star hotel, after we received the room on the ugliest wing of the hotel. The weather was stormy and cold, and we got a room without heating. Service is lacking you feel lost in the hotel,the rooms are dirty, Air conditioning does not work. I could not stand l and stay at the hotel, they tried to convince me of the rest and get another room, but I refused completely I packed my bag and ran away. Too bad for your money, just a sub-level hotel recommends you look for other alternatives.

Overall happy
Overall we enjoyed our trip. There are nice hotel grounds, and it is one of the only hotels in Jerusalem that is in a remote location. I emailed the hotel before our visit with a simple request. I did not receive a response, nor was the request fulfilled. The hotel gets very filled with groups so it's not exactly quiet.
