The room was spotless and well-maintained.
I paid extra for a room with a balcony, but it turned out to be quite small, around 1x1 meter, which was a bit disappointing.
The breakfast was abundant, fresh, and offered a great variety.
The hotel’s Bianca restaurant was outstanding, with great food and friendly staff.
The hotel is located near the Ice-Mall and 5 minutes walk from the beach.

Great hotel within 10 minut walo of the beach.
The breakfast is one of its highlights, check it out.
There is no view.
There is construction next door (03/2026)
Not their fault but if you plan on sleeping in or stairing at a view from your hotel room.... not gonna work out well.

The staff were very freindly and genuine.❤️

Quaint, stylish little place with a nice pool. Not as loud or busy as larger Eilat hotels. The hotel is generally in need of a bit of maintenance but nice overall. No view. Strong perfume used as fragrance in public areas for some reason. Breakfast was okay but did not live up to the reviews. Very small parking lot, though there is a paid city lot a block away.

Even though the staff were nice and welcoming, the condition of the hotel is really bad. The towels had stains on them. The bathroom had a really bad pee smell, the fridge also smelled of rotten food, the wall to wall carpet was full of stains and the bed mattress 2as really uncomfortable. The staff, who really wanted to help responded to our complains was that hotel is old so this kind of things are expected and all the rooms have the same issues so changing rooms will not help

Rooms are comfortable and clean, toilet with bath (extra points for anti-slip coating).

Friendly staff.

Good price.

Neutral:

Had a room with on construction site, but I don't care.

Were during a social distancing times , so all food was in boxes. Can't say if it good or bad considering situation.

Fridge had broken parts, but worked, so can't complain.

Cons:

Furniture in room was quite old and weary.

The hotel location is great: 2 minutes walk from the Ice Mall, restaurants and shops.
The classic room was OK , and the hotel was clean and fitted to the corona regulatioms. We came for 1 night and did not use the pool nor the other facilities.
The parking is preety small but each time we needed a spot we got one after a few minutes wait.
The only problem was that there was only 1 person to give all the services: receptianist, open the parking, give pool towels and more so each time we got there we had to wait.

corona times - march 2020

Well I went to Eilat for business, yes during the corona and my family joined me , sicne they were in almost lock-down at home, they also needed a break. We ordered a suite (2+3) to accommodate us. needless to say we called a few hotels and they were all closed, but Vista were open. So instead of the suite they gave us two rooms with connecting doors, which was better and one room had a balcony.
They were wonderful, let us check out late, since the occupancy was very low.
Ofcourse due to corona, we couldn't use the facilities, but everything looked great. The pool looks fine, the location I great, free parking at the hotel. Front desk open 24/7.
We really appreciate their business and hospitality and will definitely remember their generosity and go back in better and normal days.
p.s. WIFI was fine!

Service to be improved

I booked a suite and the room pictures show clearly a balcony there. When I checked in, I asked about the balcony and the staff said there is no balcony in my room and the pictures are for demonstration only with a rude tone. I wen up and the room was super small with the window facing another construction site less than a hundred meter away. I went down to reception to complain and they gave me a slightly better room with a tiny balcony overlooking the Jordanian mountain. I was happy with it but on the second night I checked my booking again and found that a suite should be much bigger than where I was staying at, so I went down to reception again late at night, the staff at first did not understand that there is a \"suite\" in the hotel but he got it after I explained a few times. He suggested me write a letter to the general manager about the situation and I did. The next day the manager David showed up and apologized, maybe we were lost in translation (we spoke in English), I thought he offered a full refund of the booking and some chocolate as a gift. But until I checked out the chocolate never appeared and the refund was only the price difference between suite and standard room on a discounted basis. It is fair but only that it's a bit strange that the outcome does not match what was agreed before.

I would advise you to stay alert of what you get from this hotel and make sure the communication is clear if you don't speak Hebrew.

The hotel is located very close to the marina, near the \"Ice Mall\", which is a big shopping center with an ice park.The room we had was nice, with clean bathroom, and a very good air condition. The view was poor, but the other side of the hotel probably has much better views. The evening shows, which took place daily at the lobby were a little bit disturbing, if you prefer peace and quiet time. The breakfast was great, with nice variety and quality. The staff was ok until we had a bit out of the ordinary request from them (to print a single page). We were sent back and forth between 4 different hotel employees, all had computer and a printer right next to them, until someone was willing to help us.

Mediocre at best

The handle of the door to the balcony was broken. Without the AC on, the room was too hot, but no matter what setting you put it on, the room became way too cold. There weren’t separate soaps and shampoos, just a dispenser on the wall near the sink and another in the shower. When I asked if it was soap & shampoo in one, the front desk said, \"kind of\", but her tone said \"not really\". The breakfast ended at 9:30am, which I thought was early for people on vacation. The cleaning staff also came very early, entering the room, turning on the lights, and waking me up several times. One day, I told them I'm still sleeping, and they put a sign on my door to leave me alone, which I didn't notice until I returned that night and the room was still messy. They also didn't replace my towels once ever. Eventually, I took a handful down to the front desk and asked for fresh ones. The woman gave me attitude and asked why I brought them to her. She told me she would call someone to bring some to my room and I asked if they could hurry as I was in a rush to shower and go somewhere, but it still took a good 20 minutes. There was no WiFi in the rooms, just the lobby. Finally, the TV's picture sucked, the remote stopped working, and they took at least a full day to bring me a new one. They had a bigger TV by the bar in the lobby, but when I asked if I could watch the World Cup there, they wouldn't even turn it on.

Stay far away from this awful place!!

STAY AWAY FROM THIS HORRIBLE SHACK!!! They charge more than advertised on travel websites!!! Awful customer service, horrible experience. For starters, the room and hotel smelled like sewage. The room was very small, the sheets were stained, there was no shampoos or soaps in the bathroom, there was a general soap dispenser in the bathroom but it was empty. The blow dryer stopped working after 30 seconds of use. The fridge stopped working on our second night there after we put food in it, it was all bad in the morning. Although it stated there is free parking, the lot only fits about 8 cars and was full so we were told we would have to pay to park on the street. Although I paid for street parking, I did not understand the street signs and ended up getting a 100 shekel parking ticket on my rental car. All in all we paid $500 for two nights in a TINY room not fit for three people with horrible customer service, foul smell and broken amenities. For that price we could have stayed at a nice HOTEL, not what seemed like a 1 star motel. Another “joy” we experienced was a folk dancing class in the lobby at 9:30pm with extremely loud and disturbing Russian music for about an hour. Would never ever stay here. Stick to the nice hotels and stay away from these people who don’t know how to treat guests.

Very good non-expensive hotel

The Vista was a very good hotel. Very modern inside the public ares of the hotel. The rooms were smart, comfortable, modern and had lots of light from the big window that was the entire outer wall.

Our room view was of the marina, with a small bit of construction in the foreground. We were 5 mins walk to the beach - which was about the same as the Isrotel and Crowne Plaza. The hotel is 30 seconds walk from the really awesome Ice Mall !.

Food was very good - and comparable to larger hotels such as the Isrotel etc.

The pool was also good, with a lifeguard and these real cute wicker 2-person sun-loungers. Every so often a large waterfall was switched on. The only caveat - at the end of May the hotel was still on its Winter Schedule which meant the pool area was closed and locked at 5pm, while it was still bright sunshine outside. The only outdoor we could relax in at the hotel was the area designated for smoking. We complained and they eventually let us jump the gate to lie on the sun loungers by the pool away from the smokers.

90% of the staff were really nice and attended to us straight away with a smile. Any problems they also dealt with very quickly (sending people to our room in under 1 min).

For its price - we thought this hotel was very good.

Nice place, good price, terrible beds.

Looking to do some diving in Eilat over a weekend, I booked into the Vista Hotel because it was very reasonably priced. At less than USD300$ (incl breakfast), it seemed to provide the basic necessities I was looking for, bed, bathroom, food.
The lobby area is quite nice, with it's bar, small restaurant and lounges (in/outdoor). There is a nice small pool outside that was surprisingly refreshing, considering the fact it was above 40c outside. Wifi, only available in the lobby, was easy to access and provided decent bandwidth.
The room I stayed is was standard fare for Israel, relatively small, with a small bathroom. Because I was really only there to sleep, I really didn't spend to much time inspecting it's cleanliness. Although advertised as a queen size, the bed consisted of 2 singles made up as singles and stuck side by side. One bed was higher than the other, and both were equally uncomfortable. I've slept in some terrible spots in my life, but these beds take the cake.

Cups and a kettle were provided in the room, but tea or instant coffee had to be bought in the lobby for it. In my opinion, this is really stingy.

I stayed at the Vista for one night, arriving late and leaving early in connection with a trip to Petra. For that limited purpose, and considering the relatively low (for Eilat) room price which included breakfast, it was an adequate, no-frills option. Rooms/bathrooms are spartan, WiFi is in the lobby only, and the hotel can be noisy (there was a loud party with amplified music and singing in the lobby area that I could hear in my 1st floor room until it ended around 11pm), and thin walls/doors mean you can also here people running around in the halls, slamming doors etc. But the a/c worked well, the shower had good pressure and plenty of hot water, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast spread was pretty extensive.

The day front desk staff was not that pleasant. Had flood in the bathroom after showers and on the day I was leaving they replaced the shower head. When I first complained it seemed that it was my fault it happened. The other front desk staff at night was very pleasant. The concierge was also very good, Location was perfect and the pool was small but it worked.

Just OK

The hotel was easy walking distance from the beach.
The front desk woman was not pleasant or friendly. Whenever we had a problem she made is sound like it was our fault (e.g. there was a leak, the key did not work, the correct towels were not left)
The breakfasts were very, very good.

Simple, well priced, good food

This hotel has 3 stars. What does it mean? Staff was courteous, room was clean and comfortable, but not huge. There's a closet+dresser, bed/s, and a safe. The breakfast is considerably better than expected, and the price is well worth the stay. Location is a 7 minute leisurely walk to the beach, and cabs are abundant.

Hotel Vista in Eilat

Apparently sold as a \"4 star\" hotel on some websites, but overall standard closer to 3-star hotel.

Strengths -- Excellent buffet breakfast and dinner. One of the best value-for-money buffet dinners in the area.
Restaurant staff were very accommodating for needs of individual guests.

Weaknesses -- Bathroom was not the cleanest possible. No internet access from room -- Have to go to lobby for free wifi.
Surrounding area is safe but rather tacky.

Close to Eilat airport, but not really walk-able because it's on the other side of the runway.

Adequate for overnight stay en route to Jordan.

Hotel Vista Eilat

Good location.Very charming decor and nice rooms. Good breakfast. Not too near the beach. 5 mins away by car. Pity the nice coffee shop/bar in the lobby is not manned all the time so if you want coffee or a drink you have to go get the guy and that spoils the atmosphere but one can always go out.
The pool is small but okay. Note it closes at 6pm - with a padlock - so you cant even sit around in the evening by the pool with a beer - so go out. Unfortunately very uncooperative reception ,who made a point of being unhelpful, unpleasant and rude with no understanding of service. No finesse of traditonal hoteliering here. Top marks however to the public relations manageress. She made our stay pleasant and deftly handled problems that arose. A true professional. By the way Contrary to what the hotels.com website shows, there is no playgound for children. It's just a small game room.
Never the less quite good value for the price.

A positive surprise

I would recommend this hotel to anyone, who seeks a budget place to stay, while on a short vacation. A really good value for money.
Now some points that caught my attention:

1) Plus: Although the official check-in is from 15:00, our room was ready upon arrival, at noon.
2) Plus: The rooms remind 3-stars hotels in Europe. Our room was clean and had everything we needed.
Minus: Though the coffee/tee can be made in rooms, the ingredients must be purchased at the reception.
3) Plus: The hotel is located in a quiet place (as for now), there's almost no traffic to disturb. Plenty of free parking.
Minus: Not exactly on-the-beach location.
4) Plus: Great variety of food at breakfast.
Minus: Despite that, no meat products were served (perhaps Kosher stuff...) The dinner is served until 9:30 so at 9:00 people were challenged to find a place inside.

My high scores for the hotel are of course relative to its cost...

Bad experience

The only positive thing about this hotel was the location, which is not too far from the beaches.
The room was bad for the price paid. Even coffee powder had to be purchased from the lobby.
There was a swimming pool and even though it was warm, they didn't bother to fill it up.
Staff was not helpful. I asked about buses and all they could tell me was to catch a taxi! They didn't know anything about anything.

Quiet and convenient

This was a perfectlly adequate hotel for my one night stay in Eilat. It is a no-frills accomodation but it was quiet and comfortable. My room could have benefitted from some minor repairs (e.g., a screw on a light above the bed was missing but it still worked, the door to the room would stick), but the staff were helpful and courteous and the location is good. It is very close to the airport and a very short walk to the waterfront area of Eilat so it worked out very well for me. It was also the last pick up point for my tour to Petra so I had a few minutes to eat the hot breakfast before heading out.

Маленький грязный даже очень грязнный отель тянет на 1 звезду хотя никогла не была в 1 заезде ... но b&b за границей намного лучшие чем в этом отеле , завтрак стандартный неплохой но само помещение шумное и гул от людей и от иарелое по ходу там и яйца сгорели у работника короче тихий т .е громкий ужас , после номера не чистого побоялась пользоватся басейном ...
Благо были проездом одну ночь
Персонал приветливый ,

Too bad

A room faces a noisy construction site. Unclean bedding, forgot to put on an electric kettle and when I asked they said only from 8 am could be requested, a poor breakfast at 80 NIS per person ...

Nagyon zajos felújításra szoruló szoba de a személyzet segítő kész. A reggeli és a vacsora nagyon izletes és bő a választék.
