    We wanted to be near the park and could not have been any closer. We were able to walk to the snake path from the hotel. The accommodation was spacious, offered us separate rooms, and a good size bathroom. Breakfast was included.

    המיקום מושלם למי שרוצה לעלות למצדה ברכבל של 5 בבוקר, זה היה מאוד מאוד נוח עבורנו. כשהגענו הציעו לנו בקבלה להשאיר את הציוד שלנו בחדר המזוודות כשנרצה לעשות צ'קאאוט - ולהישאר ליהנות מהבריכה לכל הבוקר. השלט של הטלוויזיה קצת זייף, ובקבלה מיהרו...

The fine print

Need-to-know information for guests at this property

Based on local tax laws, guests with a tourist visa to Israel are exempted from paying VAT for their reservation. Israeli citizens and residents ("non tourists" as defined in the VAT law) must pay VAT. This tax is automatically calculated in the total cost of the reservation for domestic customers. For guests booking from outside of Israel, the tax is not included in the total price.

Please note that on Saturdays and the final day of Jewish holidays, check-in is after 19:00.
