Clean the mould in the showers

If the air conditioning had gotten the room cooler than 26C on our first night, I’d have been happier. The other problem - was the mould and unclean appearance of the shower and the fact that all 3 shower gel and shampoo dispensers were empty. I liked the hotel staff and appreciated the room was quiet and comfortable but AAAAGH how do they accept such low levels of deep cleaning?

The hotel did not pick up the phone after booking when I had questions.

The beds and the room itself were really small.

And the hotel has a set temperature for all rooms you can’t change it for your comfortable temperature,
I had to sleep with an open window and hear street noise all night.

As a whole the hotel is a very nice facility. Great views, pool and lobby areas. Great staff. The only negative is that the room areas don't feel as clean as they could be (carpeted floors) but overall I recommend this hotel is you don't mind walking a bit to the waterfront.

Ideal hotel - great facilities

Room was large and comfy - nice shower and always kept very clean.

Breakfast was great - plenty of choice both cooked and continental.

Dinner - We went for the half board option and I'd highly recommend this. Loads of variety, meat was cooked beautifully and the salad options were amazing!

Staff - we didn't actually interact with too many people but when we did they were always helpful and friendly.

Parking - parking is very limited within the hotel itself (past the barrier) - but we actually found you were much better off parking just outside on the street or in one of the bays. There's plenty of availability and its free of charge.

Swimming Pool - perfectly adequate pool. We went during an Israeli holiday and it was generally quite full all the time but there was plenty of space to sunbathe nearby!

Nearby - next door is a mini supermarket with anything you'll need. They had great prices and a good selection of local wine that would make good gifts to take home. Just around the corner (10 minute walk) is a large fashion outlet called BIG that sells clothes (local and big brands), homeware and has a couple of places to eat in too. It's free parking and well worth a visit if you need somewhere cool!
The hotel isn't far from the sea of galilee - you'll get some great pictures from the hotel itself - but it's only a 5 minute drive down to the sea front anway which has shops/restaraunts and I'd really recommend hiring a boat to take out on the sea.

Comfortable, dedicate staff, not well maintained

We had a very comfortable stay at the hotel. There was plenty of free parking, helpful staff, delicious and generous breakfast buffet that is included in the price. The lobby is large with a convenient free computer useful for trip planning. Room was clean and well equipped - safe, fridge, tv, storage. However maintenance is lacking. Windows were dusty, windows sills peeling, door parts of jamb missing, inaccurate paint job. The hotel is adjacent to typical but unsightly apartment buildings and some trash. To end this review well - the breakfast buffet was amazing. It was typical Israeli food, very plentiful and delicious, including many cheeses, baked goods, salads, and many dairy products that are typical to Kibbutzim. Nicely presented with very friendly and helpful dining room staff.

Good for one night

Stayed at the Prima Galil for one night on our road trip. The hotel was better priced than others in the city. The hotel has a certain charm (it feels naturally retro from the elevator to the curtains in the room instead of closet doors, but it definitely needs some updating. The room was comfortable for one night and the staff were very nice. The breakfast buffet was varied and it offered lots of lovely choices. NOT much to do around the hotel and it is a 15 minute walk downhill to the beach area/stores/restaurants. However, there is an amazing grocery store right beside the hotel for replenishing provisions on a road trip.

The breakfast service equipment was filthy and home to a lot of fly's. Eggs are cooked on a small portable commercial electric grill that looks as if it has not had a good cleaning ever. Greasy and crusted with ???. The food was way below an typical Israeli breakfast buffet. Compared to other hotels in Israel it is high on the list except for the dining room.

A very nice hotel.

As I do not speak Hebrew well, checking in is always a problem. However, Yulia at the front desk was very helpful and put up with my butchering of her language.

Unlike a lot of Israeli hotels, there are ample plugs into which you can plug things like computers, phones, etc., and these plugs are actually located in places that you can find them.

The closet safe is large and can hold phones, lap tops, passports, etc.

My only complaints were two. The breakfast that was mentioned consisted of water, juice, and coffee with nothing to actually eat, and the wifi was limited to the hotel lobby. Otherwise it was one of the best hotels in Israel that I have found.

Good value overall

The room was clean and comfortable, in modern decor. There was a wide screen TV in our room that had over 100 channels (though very few were in English). There were gratis cookies and bottled water in our room when we arrived. The hotel has a swimming pool, but it was closed on one day when we wanted to use it. There is also a terrace overlooking the city, especially pleasant for sitting out in the evening. The Israeli-style breakfast buffets were great - the foods were fresh and well prepared and in great variety. The Shabbat dinner buffet on Friday night was also very generous, and a good value for the area. The staff at the front desk were friendly and always very helpful when we needed advice. The hotel is located in a mostly residential area (there are quite a few other hotels in the neighborhood) about a mile from the downtown, a long walk uphill (but there are convenient city busses to and from downtown). There's not much in the way of tourist services in the somewhat upscale neighborhood, and no restaurants (but there is a laundry down the block that very professionally and reasonably washed and ironed our clothes and delivered them to the front desk of the hotel). On the whole, we were very pleased with our experience at this hotel. It was a good value compared to the more expensive hotels downtown.

Beyond our expectations

We expected the usual \"motel 6\" sort of place but we had a beautiful suite, a plate of fresh fruits and bottle of water waiting for us in our room, and an ample Israeli style breakfast. It's not high end or fancy, and it's a bit of a trek to the historical center, but for the price, a great find.

Disappointing to say the least

The Prima Galil came highly recommended by websites such as tripadvisor (6 out of 40 hotels in tiberias) but from the moment I left the recently refurbished reception I realised that the hotel was second rate. The stairwell was dirty, there was a mattress leaning on one of the hallway walls - quite simply the feel was of a dormatory!.

I had ordered a suite so I figured that things would get better once I was in and the door was shut, This was not to be. The airconditioning unit in the lounge area made a noise, some of the furniture was shabby and the entire place felt lacking. Certainly it wasn't a home away from home.

Whilst the checkout time is 11:00 I was disturbed three times! By the cleaners (at 10:10), by a knock on the door from a staff member asking me when I am vacating the room (at 10:30) and by a phone call from reception at 10:50 asking me when I am going to leave and reminding me that the policy was to do so before 11:00.

There was no 'please' or 'thankyou' by any of the reception members, no 'how was your stay?', no 'how are you?', this too was utterly disappointing.

Finally the surrounding area is not pleasant either.

By the way I have never once written anything bad about a hotel, so whilst this review seems like I am just taking an opportunity to vent some anger, that is not the case.

A fine basic hotel

The staff was very helpful. The bathroom was great. The pool hours were very restrictive. Breakfasts were pretty good. In the lounge, the bartender had No Clue how to make a martini. I had to give her step by step instructions. Not a show-stopper but annoying. I would stay there again.
