Very pleasant lesurely weekend
Posted Nov 16, 2015Quiet hotel imaculately designed. Superb service. Very tasty meals.
300 meters from the market.
Easy driving distance from all sights near Safed & Sea of Galilee.
Possibly slightly overpriced.

A bit of Scotland in Israel
Posted May 26, 2015
Pros: Location, character and history.
Cons: Wheelchair ramps. Also dinning room was only a buffet and quite expensive. Bar menu was limited.
Location: Everything is near by.
Great location and friendly staff. They arranged the BEST tour guide for us. Morris was his name.
The only negative for us was it was not handicap friendly. Otherwise loved it.

Not good, very disappointed.
Posted Jan 25, 2015
Pros: Very disappointed.
Cons: See above
Location: Had difficulty finding a place to eat close by.
We all were very disappointed, we had read very positive comments about this hotel only to discover the rooms were not updated, not clean, no blankets, so we slept with our coats on, for the most expensive hotel we stayed at, this was not what we expected.
Also, the restaurant was closed for dinner so they offered to put place mats on the round tables in the bar to eat. The room had no TV changer, when I called the maintenance person came and got on his stomach and searched under the bed.
The grounds were nice, they even opened the workout facility early which was nice, but for their reputation, they clearly have their eye off the ball, a update is needed. The American Colony in Jerusalem and the Norman in Tel Aviv were head and shoulders better.

Friendly, unique hotel with a few rough spots
Posted Aug 19, 2014
Pros: Location, service
Cons: Wifi, rooms could be refreshed
Arrival was a little confusing, since it is not clear where to park. (You have to pull up to the gate and buzz reception.) Parking can be very tight, but the staff will assist in squeezing you into a space.
The front desk's clerk could not have been more friendly, and he spoke perfect English. He gave us all the details about the hotel from memory -- opening times and locations for the restaurant, spa, etc.
The room, though acceptable, was showing signs of age. Indeed, the room's hotel services directory heralded the upcoming arrival of their new spa...coming in 2008! Needless to say, these pages were not in good condition, and it's high time this book was updated. Wifi in the room was awful, and was so slow (or even nonexistent at times), such that I found it usable.
Bar prices were knock-your-socks-off expensive. The hotel boasts a wide selection of different types of scotch, but we didn't think it was worth the money. There are plenty of more reasonably priced bars in proximity.
Breakfast was the best we had in Israel. The buffet offered fresh-brewed coffee, an egg station, and a wide selection of pastries, breads, and meats.
Tiberias was packed. And yet, despite all the noise, gridlock, and general hustle and bustle, the hotel provided a peaceful sanctuary while still being within easy walking distance of all the action. I would return.

Strangely run
Posted May 18, 2014Lovely historic hotel and grounds are beautiful.
Staff we found were mostly unhelpful, even bordering on rudeness in a couple of instances. They certainly did not put themselves out to help.
Dinner and breakfast were self service....no one offered us wine or drinks. Usually hotels serve coffee etc at breakfast and offer a wine list at dinner!
A nice pool but opening hours are kept secret. We watched from the gardens as many hopeful swimmers were turned back as the pool had closed.
So mainly surly staff but nice gardens. A 5 star hotel run as if it was a hostel is how we would describe it.

Scots hotel
Posted Mar 20, 2014Good but not great hotel. Very pretty old buildings but only fair rooms.
Rooms on smaller side but clean and overall comfortable.
Nice breakfast buffet and staff helpful.
Probably the best choice to stay in Tiberius .
by sorry i stayed from dismal
Say it isn't so
Posted Mar 6, 2014Disappointing stay at the Scot's Hotel. Expedia charged us $525.00 for an exclusive room for 3 people. This is a joke. 3 Adults cannot fit in this room. Bugs in the room. The front desk was rude and condescending. Will never stay there again.

Location: very nicely located at Lake Tiberias, mus be beautiful in summer
Beautiful hotel, very comfortable, great service, great food.

décevant (mis à part pour les buffets)
Posted Mar 11, 2012
Pros: les extérieurs de l'hotel ainsi que le petit déjeuner
Cons: un personnel pas très souriant, et fort peu sympathique à l'exception de quelques personnes au buffet.
Location: pas au bord du lac, mais plutôt bien placé dans Tibériade
L'hotel est très beau, mais au vue des photos, on penserait qu'il est au bord de l'eau ce qui n'est pas le cas. Le personnel n'est pas très accueillant notamment à la réception.
Il faut préciser que l'hotel n'est PAS CACHER, IMPORTANT à préciser.
En revanche, le buffet du matin et du soir sont excellents et très copieux. A recommander.
pour la chambre, aucun produit ni savon n'était remplacé une fois utilisés. pas de propreté au niveau de la moquette. les verres n'étaient pas changés systématiquement.
fenêtre très petite sur l'extérieur. décevant compte tenu du prix à la nuit !
