Mattress, too soft, fallen in. Pillows too hard. At meals, fruit uneatable, or absent.When we complaines, they brought a plate of fruit to the room. But nothing changed, of course, in the thinking of the administration. Everything too sweet, soup, cereals, or sauces, no chance for a diabetic. Which is strange as half the guests were pensionnaires. At the bar in the lobby they gave me the salad which had been there in tbe vitrine since the day before and was frozen to the core. When asked they changed it for a freshly made, but.... They also served tbe leftover stale bread , when asked to toast it they brought it back slightly warmed up but no less stale. ..

Delightful break. Spa was wonderful and the location on the edges of the dead sea was remarkable. Great facilities to walk down to the sea, bathe and well serviced with towels, showers and everything. Clean and spacious room with beautiful balcony overlooking the grounds and the dead sea. Good dinner and breakfast. We had a wonderful stay. Wanted to use the bikes but they were not available. Everything else was delightful

The service at the front desk was simply unpleasan

We booked a spontaneous vacation for the same day, booked at 1:00 PM, arrived around 7:00 PM. We asked politely, since we arrived so late, if there was a chance to extend our stay and delay the check-out time (especially as Gold VIP customers at Hotels.com) and he answered aggressively and rudely - no!!!!! with no desire to help or be helpful. I emphasize that it was not a busy time, the desk was free of guests. The hotel elevators are busy and not synchronized, we had dinner at the hotel next door (paid of course) because the hotel food looked really bad (even guests who left said it was not tasty)

We went Passover week, so the hotel was very crowded, and the daytime staff seemed a bit overwhelmed. However, we really enjoyed the dining room breakfast (included), and the patios. Parking lot is small, so you have to get lucky to snag a spot (although it is free to park). The pool water feels chilly, pool towels are hard to get, and lunch options are limited. The dinner buffet was $35 USD per person, so we walked to the Ein Bokek Restaurant (seriously good hummus) for a cheaper meal most nights. I agree that this place has the look of luxury, but is missing the extra service elements to justify the high price (slow check in, poor towel service). Overall, this still might be the best option for entry level luxury, and the location on the water is excellent.

The place is right next to the dead sea by a beautiful boardwalk.

The hotel itself had a foul smell on the ground floor, and the room didn't look like anything in the pictures. The food wasn't amazing. and the room wasn't really clean, especially the porch.

I ordered a sleep at this hotel assuming it is as good as its grade. The room was nice, the balcony faced the Dead Sea and the view was great. Dinner was bad, half the food tasted like it was reheated several times, and the variety of salads was very minimal. The glasses were dirty, and it took the waiter 15 minutes to get new ones. I won’t elaborate about the breakfast, which was just bad. Overall, there are better hotels in my opinion.

Huge disappointment.

We were fooled by the 9.2 rating into believing this was a high quality hotel. The truth is that this was a 3 start hotel which was refurbished and rebranded during Covid, but the standard of work was clearly shoddy and there are clear signs of wear and tear which has not been attended to. Key issues to be aware of:

On site parking - is totally inadequate for the number of rooms. The only alternative is to pay for street parking which is not cheapor necessarily secure.
Customer service - was a real disappointment. There was no water on the day of our arrival - just sand blowing out from the tap. It took 24 hours for hot water to flow. There was no communication from the hotel, no apology and no offer of compensation. A real couldn't care less attitude which permeated throughout - staff expected guests to get out of their way if not both could pass at the same time.
Food - breakfast was the usual excellent Israeli offering, but the coffee machines kept on failing. No food available at the pool and none available during our stay at the lounge bar. Totally unacceptable.
Pool - is fairly modest in size, inadeqaute seating around and no grounds. The views are not quite as they seem in the hotel's photo - see attached.
Spa - excellent treatment. Changing room was in desprate need of repair and simple cleaning.
Beach - the saving feature (although had the hotel been responsible for its upkeep it would probably have been poorly maintained!)
Perhaps we were unlucky but take care!

Mycket fint hotell med härlig spa avdelning och privat strand med solstolar precis vid Döda Havet. Underbara frukostar och middagar med ett stort utbud av mat även vegetarisk/vegan.
Enda nackdelen var att det var fullt på deras parkering min första dag. Så jag fick betala för att stå på en intilliggande parketing.

Horrible !!!! Hôtel catastrophique

J ai un compte VIP GOLD HÔTEL.COM alors vous pouvez croire à 100% mon commentaire Hôtel horrible honte au personnel qui ne respect même pas les clients je n’est jamais vu ça de ma vie !
Une personne devant le parking qui vous dit que vous pouvez pas rentré dans le parking alors qui a des places et vous met dehors et vous payez le parking extérieur ensuite ne demande de fermer un parasol alors qui a beaucoup de vent et au bout de 20 min toujours personnes et bien sûr arrivé ce qui arrive le parasol tombe et écrase nos transat heureusement que je suis sortie en courant et que j était pas entrain de dormir ou sinon ça aurai était catastrophique vous êtes une honte vous et votre hôtel horrible a l accueil quand il on vu que j’avais les vidéos et les photos il mon dit de supprimer de suite les photos ce que j ai bien sûr refusé et il se sont énerver contre nous vous êtes la honte de la chaîne hôtel j’ai transfèrer les photos et vidéo à mon avocat pour voir qu’elle peux être la procédure avec le numéro de téléphone des personnes présentes au bord de la piscine tout le monde a halluciné et venu nous voir si on allez bien. Et pour finir nous étions avec des amis avec qui il ont même pas faire la chambre de la journée et qui il sont retourner à l accueil pour leur dire il ont dit il y a plus de personnel à cette heure une blague l’hôtel et tout ça pour plus 350 euros la nuit et sans oublier si vous êtes au grill que vous payer en espèce ou en carte bancaire le prix différent du vol .

Alles in Ein Bokek is duur, dus vergelijk dit niet met een “normaal” hotel van 300 euro want dan valt het tegen. Alles was ‘okay’ behalve de parkeerplekken (parkeerplaats is heel klein en continu vol), en het strand (om vier uur al dicht terwijl overal tot vijf uur was aangegeven). Spa zat goed vol. Personeel is niet bijzonder vriendelijk maar wel efficient. Kamer is okay qua grootte en wel netjes en schoon. Ontbijt was top
