We stayed here overnight and found a clean, beautiful place- fairly priced and staffed by professionals who did whatever was needed to make our stay pleasant. Also there was a great breakfast included in the price. Would definitely stay here again.
Ohalo has a calm and nice atmosphere. It’s not a luxurious hotel but a clean quiet one. Close to the sea with a path to nice private beaches (more of a way to the water) We loved it. The food was very much to our taste and the staff were very kind. We took the best rooms which were a bit expensive but worth it. Really recommend if you want a calm place to be in. There are no special attractions but the sea and you’re given tickets for a nearby kayak resort and swimming pool. Lovely.
We were part of a 14 person tour. Spent two nights at the hotel. Towel bars falling off the wall. Staff were rude and catered to the locals versus everyone. Children running around dining room not mashed by parents. We could not even talk to each other. Staff unwilling to talk to parents. Many of our group left without eating. On Shabbat morning we were unable to get proper coffee (not unexpected). However this did not prevent the staff from having their coffee which they snuck fro under the cloths covering the machine! No bar - only sold one type of wine. Would not allow us to open a bottle we had bought that day at a local winery.
To call this a hotel is a bit misleading. This dump barely qualifies as a hostel. The rooms have only the most basic amenities except for soap. The food is passable but the dining room is overrun with children who make the whole experience unpleasant. On Shabbat, the staff would not allow us to use the espresso machine, but they used it for themselves right in front of us. Hypocrites. Just proving that keeping Shabbat is complete bs.
This is an older property in a beautiful spot on the Sea of Galilee. It is clean and well maintained and the staff is very welcoming and responsive. Few of the rooms have more than a garden view, but there are great views from the public areas. The Sea is actually a bit below the hotel. There is a path down to it, but the shoreline is undeveloped with no access to the water except for slippery concrete steps with big warning signs. The adventurous may put a toe in the water. The hotel’s buffet at breakfast and dinner was great. The location is convenient for sightseeing all of Galilee.
The worst hotel experience I have had in Israel. The room remained extremely dirty even after i have requested to clean it 3 times. It is a disgrace. Not worth your money!! The stuff is generally smiling and positive but this is just not enough. Not recommend at all!
Deciding to have 2 nights in the North of the country we stayed at the Ohalo Manor Hotel. Sadly we saw that the place has become victim to the corona pandemic, as I am sure have other hotels. The room was not clean, and had a musty smell of a room that had not been used for a long time. The bath towels were the size of a hand towel, and there was a bad smell of drains in the bathroom. The grounds surrounding the rooms are fairly well kept. Breakfast was collected from reception and eaten using the benches and chairs allocated outside the room. The breakfast was very good and more than we expected. The staff were polite and helpful. .
We stayed here two nights as we were touring the region, the hotel has nice gardens, a few cats roaming the premises, the room we got was very big and very comfortable, there is plenty of parking, we also had like a porch to view the Sea of Galilee, breakfast was fine as well as dinner, not the gourmet style but the usual buffet style, good for groups.
Yes, it smells like manure (Kinneret has a lot of agriculture around it). Yes, a lot of stray cats (very cute ones) have made the playground into their own personal home/litter box. No, the rooms aren't plush or fancy. But the rooms were fine. The service was good. And the food? The best we had at hotels/kibbutzim/hostels during our 10-day trip in Israel. Especially the breakfast. I looked forward to that breakfast: cubes of feta, yogurt with dill, dried fruits, olives, za'atar toast... (there were things other people enjoyed who wanted a more traditional American breakfast). I loved it. And a view of the Sea of Galilee? I was pretty happy here.
The hotel on the banks of the sea of Gallie is simple but comfortable. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The only poor experience I had when it took inordinately long to check-in. If only they has planned our group would have checked in in minutes. Even in this difficult situation the front office staff kept their cool and sense of humor. The breakfast was and excellent spread.
