Stayed a night at this hotel which is pretty dated. The are some exhibits around the hotel which made it like a mini museum. Room size was adequate for 1 pax and clean enough. Breakfast spread was adequate. Overall, just average.

The Dona Gracia Hotel is not only a hotel but also a museum. It is a "theme" hotel on the life of Dona Gracia, including period costumes which the guests are encouraged to try on and wear! Our group of 15 (men and women) had such fun with these period costumes (16th Century Spain/Portugal/Turkey). We were a group of Senior Citizens, but had the fun of teenagers! They caused us much laughter and merriment. On the premises are period rooms from each stage of Dona Gracia's life, and an entire floor dedicated to dolls depicting her life. The first night we were there we saw a film about life in Venice in the 16th C. The next day we had a guided tour of the Museum.
The food at the Dona Gracia Hotel was varied, plentiful and tasty. At the evening meal there was always a choice of fish, poultry or meat. At the breakfasts there were abundant choices as well - pancakes, cheeses, fish, etc.
I truly enjoyed my visit to this unique hotel/museum. The atmosphere was pleasant. Everything was clean and neat.

The location of this hotel is great - very central and within walking distance of everything worth visiting/doing in Tiberias. The design is very special, interesting and it successfully depicts the atmosphere of the 16th century in Portugal, Anvers, Venice and Istanbul. A very knowledgeable lady gave us a captivating tour of the museum - hotel, costumes and all. Unfortunately, I must add that the place suffers from neglect, the rooms are clean but could feature better facilities and the meals offered are hardly average. Last, but not least, I have to say : Go stay in this hotel, absorb the atmosphere and learn about an amazing woman, Donna Gracia, whose name and life story should be better known. All in all, I recommend the experience, which is a nice getaway and a reading in an open History book.

Hotel offers a unique historical experience. It excellently presents the story of the return to the region financed by Dona Gracia Nassi around the 17th century. The hotel is friendly with 24-hour reception. An important detail, in a region with a high incidence of sunlight and intense heat - the coverage makes the climate mild.

We stayed here for three nights as part of a group of 19 who were on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. The Dona Gracia is just 5 mins walk from the seafront, there are 2 abandoned and overgrown houses next door, a building site visible from the room we had and the hotel is just a couple of blocks away from the bus station and shopping malls. The hotel does not deserve its rating. We were greeted at the entrance steps with the carcass of a chicken which was still there when we left 3 days later, the main door had been locked and a side door was used and this had a handwritten notice to only use this door. The large lobby area was very dark and we only saw the lights used on one occasion. Windows were filthy, obviously not cleaned for a long time...perhaps years. The two lifts were shabby and their floors needed refurbishing, they looked worn out. Our room was no. 413, a twin room and ensuite bathroom. The window was so dirty I thought that there was a mosquito net covering it on the outside......no! It was grime. The bed linen was clean but the sheet hardly covered the mattress and every morning I found I was sleeping on the bare mattress, UGH! How many others had done the same! The room had been vacuumed but very superficially, the nozzle had not reached the corners and it was clear that although the bathroom had been mopped but never really cleaned. A build up of grime on the perimeter of floor tiles and cornice needed a "proper" thorough clean. There were handles missing off the dressing table drawers. Room had a flat screen TV which had a selection of channels, and there was a fridge which was essential for this time of year when outside temperatures reach 30c. Meals were all buffet style and sufficient but not inspiring, the deserts served on the first evening reappeared for the next two nights. Staff were OK but there were few that spoke English. Searching the internet for a similar break I found several hotels nearer the seafront at cheaper prices and with better feedback. The hotel needs to clean up its act!

My friend & I arrived at Dona Gracias Hotel yesterday afternoon on our trip north from Jerusalem and we came in after checking with Trip Advisors. We had not looked at any of the reviews until today and I am wondering who they were evaluating? We were met by the desk man, Shimshon, who was & continues to be as helpful as possible! The night man at the desk found a Story-teller to give us a FANTASTIC 4 hour tour of Tiberius which as I stated was Fantastic! The night man was named David and I believe he really went above and beyond to help us get the best tour he could. We returned after our walking along the water this afternoon and Igor was there at the desk and like all others has been very very helpful. From the men at the desk to the ladies cleaning the room to the waitstaff, not to mention the wonderful breakfast DONA GRACIAS has been a real fine! Thank you for being here for us! Gary Collens

Came here with my husband for a nights stay in the area. tripadvisor advertises this as waterfront, it's a 5 minute walk to the lake- and in a really rough area. The museum lobby is nice, but the only other pluses of this hotel is that it has hot water. The rooms are very outdated, dirty- not cleaned well, no fitted sheets, mold and flies in the bathroom. I am appalled that we paid $175 a night for this room, it's worth about $50. Save yourself and stay elsewhere. Zero stars more like it.

I stayed here as part of a group of 23 family and friends recently. The hotel is well located and is a 5 minute walk to the sea front where there are plenty of shops and activities.
The rooms, whilst they look a bit dated, were perfectly comfortable and quiet. The air conditioning and free wifi worked well, and each room had a fridge which was useful. We were able to borrow hairdryers from reception.
The food was good - fresh and varied - and the dining room was set up for large tour groups but never felt too busy. There was no bar available in the hotel but free tea and coffee was provided each evening.
Dona Gracia was an excellent base for part of our Holy Land tour and I would definitely return.

At the first sight the hotel looks nice from an architectural point of view. The personal was friendly and willing to help and the variety of the swedish buffet was more than sufficient. The beds were clean and nice to sleep on. However there are few things that you have to take into account. First, the bathrooms are not so nice, the curtain of the shower was kind of filthy, the shower place all by all seemed to me very poor and old. There was not toilet paper in the room and the windows were really filthy, very dusty and really not cleaned for more than 2-3 years. You could not even look outside of how dirty they were, at least the side where I had my room on. We had to ask for toilet paper since there wasn't any when we arrived. We were lucky to have with us some napkins ! I don't know what kind of floors they have but the floor of the room above me was kind of very squeaky, every time the people above me were walking in the room I could hear a very strange annoying noise. The same holds true for the fridge in the room. I think I had the room 201, but I'm not sure, anyway was near the elevators on the first floor. If you need just a bed to sleep and a good food and you're not too picky then you might feel very comfortable there.

Dear Maria. Thank you for your time writing your impression of Dona gracia hotel. First, we are glad to read that you enjoyed the atmosphere and the food at the hotel along with our staff service. As per your comments, I would like to make my response: Regarding the dirt on the room windows and the noise you mentioned to hear – On the past few moths there were a renovation works on the roads and infrastructure outside of the hotel, being done by the city of Tibirias for the welfare of its citizens and its visitors. Also we had our 4th floor being renovated. Unfortunately those works made a lot of dirt and noise which affected our hotel as well. I am very sorry it all made you inconvenience in your stay. Gladly those works are over along with the dirt and noise. Regarding the toilet paper you mentioned you did not have in your room, I find it very rare to happen, and I am sorry it did happen. I am hope that the good atmosphere in the hotel, the service, the special design and the food were the things that compensate your inconvenience. Now that all the works are over, I invite you to come back and stay at Dona gracia hotel, and to enjoy our best hospitality and service as we here at Dona gracia hotel know to give to all of our guests . Sincerely yours, Oren
