I lived in a suite on the 6th floor. Amazing room, stylish and spacious! The bedroom has two separate beds, TV, bedside tables, a huge closet. In the living room sofa, kitchenette. The bathroom has both a bathtub and a separate shower. Therefore, two people can wash at the same time : ) Plumbing is all new, everything works properly. There is a powerful hair dryer. What struck me the most was the huge terrace with a clothes dryer, sun loungers, an umbrella and an incredible view of the sea. Huge windows and access to the terrace are in the bedroom and in the living room. The air conditioner also worked properly and when leaving it does not turn off, so you return from the beach with a cool room.
There are no problems with food at the Margoa Hotel. For breakfast, a fairly large selection of a variety of dairy products.
And the dinners are such that every evening I could hardly get out from the table - everything was so delicious! Hot soup (different every evening), cold appetizers, salads, hummus is my favorite...And then hot with a side dish. And dessert - fruit and ice cream. There is always a big bottle of water and Pepsi on the table. The waiters are all very attentive, constantly reporting what ended up on the plates.
Having lived in this hotel for only a few nights, I had the feeling that I have known all the people who work at the Margoa hotel for many years. Very homely and cozy atmosphere, a special approach to each tourist. The people at the reception are very friendly and welcoming. Always with a smile and warmth will answer any question and help solve any problem.
Hotel Margoa is worth the money 100% ! ! ! I recommend this hotel to all tourists who can afford to pay a little more for accommodation than it costs to stay in such popular 3 * hotels as Ginot Yam and Park.
I would advise, in addition to the excursion, to go to Jerusalem on your own. And then a lot of interesting places are skipped, everyone is running.
In general: quite a decent hotel (by Israeli standards). Maybe we're just unlucky?
The food is delicious, homemade. Tea and coffee are available free of charge 24 hours a day. The staff is very polite and attentive. There is free Wi-Fi in the lobby.
To the elevator descending from the high bank to the beach - 200 meters, to the central square and Herzl street with shops, restaurants, cafes, etc. - also 200 meters, only in the other direction.
I spent 2 nights there and was satisfied with everything. That is why I put 5 points on all counts.
She is rather small and modest.
Rooms: 4+ (5) rooms in it are very comfortable with fairly good (I would say new) furniture. I came to it immediately after visiting the 5-star hotel CROWN PLAZA (Dead Sea), and initially I was afraid of a sharp contrast in the star rating of hotels. But to my surprise, the level of the room in Margoa pleasantly pleased. There was almost no difference, except perhaps the size of the room. But if you plan to spend a lot of time on the beach and traveling, then the size of the room is not important. So, the rooms are clean, cleaned every day, very high quality.
Meals: 3+ meals we took only breakfast. rather modestly, in the style of Jewish traditions. a lot of dairy, well, vegetables... perhaps everything. you can also find hard-boiled eggs, and mackerel . . i. e. there is food for women, but for men - I would not call it food. You can have lunch and dinner at any nearby restaurant. there are a lot of them nearby.
Service: The staff is VERY friendly. there are Russian speakers.
In the hotel: there is internet on the ground floor, and WIfi if you have a laptop with you.
the ironing room is modest and with a "dead" iron. true on demand, immediately brought a new iron.
contingent: old people. there were almost no young people.
Of course there is no pool. . .
MINUS: no safe. and there are no safe boxes. All valuables are offered to be packed in an envelope (usual paper for letters), sealed. described and placed in a common safe in the manager's office. those. for example, passports and money can be saved in this way, but valuables like a laptop, a camera and expensive watches are unlikely.
The hotel is suitable for an inexpensive, pleasant, cozy overnight stay, but nothing more. If you plan to spend all the time, except for sleep, outside the hotel, then feel free to book MARGOA. quite economical and comfortable. Have a good choice of hotel and a great holiday.
