빌라 유로파 1917(Europa 1917)

We stayed here as part of a large tour group. We were on the ground floor (no stairs) at the end of the hall on the right. The room was large with high ceilings, very clean and beautiful! It had a comfortable king size bed and a Nespresso (the only REAL coffee we had in Israel till we got to the airport!). It also had a lovely patio. The food buffet was very good. They brought gluten free bread for those who asked. The ladies working in the restaurant were always smiling and very helpful. The biggest downside was the noise as our room was on a busy street. We heard drag racing till 3am. Others in our group heard nothing since they were on the other side. Bring your earplugs or white noise just in case.

Historic hotel with characterful rooms and gorgeous traditional reception area BUT that was where it ended. The service and cleaning were poor, there was trash left on my balcony from a previous guest and all the corridors and common areas looked dusty and in need of a good vacuum. The pool area was filthy, the sun loungers were stained and patio tables and chairs dirty and unwashed. It did not look inviting and the pool seemed chained the entire time we were there (apparently there is a life guide sometime during the day when we were out sightseeing but in the afternoons when we returned it was always closed up; however since it looked so dirty we would not have swum anyway). Most of the hotel is closed (spa, sauna, 5th floor terrace, evening restaurant and pool bar - all closed with no mention of this on the website). It is definitely not a five star hotel and was a massive rip-off in terms of price. I would give it three stars for the charming old style rooms and fairly decent breakfast buffet if you can turn a blind eye and ignore all the other areas which are a bit gross and if they lower their exorbitant prices. If you decide to ignore the bad reviews like we did, and book there anyway, be warned to lower your expectations.

The Europa 1917 makes itself out as a 5 star hotel. They are far from it. The light switches for the bathroom were hiding BEHIND the TV mounted on the wall! We stayed there on our first trip to the Galilee, and after one night moved to a nearby real 5 star hotel. The hotel refused to offer any refunds for misrepresenting the rooms.

I've stayed in a variety of Tiberias hotels, this one was the best among those lacking access to the Sea of Galilee. Liked the room's interior design, beds were comfy, everything was clean; we were two adults and a teen, the hotel made sure to arrange things so it would be easy to move around. Breakfast was typical of boutique hotels - varied without the extravagance - and the staff was quick to respond to our needs; the only downside I'd note is that the bread did not to be from a bakery (but rather "industrial"). The pool is adequate for off season - we visited in late April - but could be challenging at height of the season. Ample parking across the road. Note: I made the reservation, my partner gave them another credit card upon arrival but for some reason - they failed to explain why - the bill at checkout had my details (payment did come off the other card); something to handle upon arrival for those with specific bureacratic needs.

Touring in Israel we were looking for a hotel in Tiberias, always hard to find a nice one there. This hotel is nice old style which fits perfectly with the atmosphere of the place. Staff is kind and delivering great service, breakfast is great.

This delightful property was conveniently located within easy walking distance of the boardwalk/promenade in Tiberias, making food and shopping easy. The elevators arrive with a 'ding' like a doorbell, which is annoying throughout the night. The staff was gracious and helpful and the front desk is staffed 24/7. We were disappointed in the pool - it was lovely and we were looking forward to using it. However, when asked what the hours were, we were told that it was not open because it was too cold (it was 91 degrees the following day). We were surprised when two days later children were in the pool. We had a beautiful room with a gorgeous balcony. The thermostat worked well and the breakfast was generous. Our final night, however, the room was completely filled with cigarette smoke (we were trying to breath through the bed covers it was so intense). When we reported this, we were told, "This is Israel." So - just a heads up - if one is sensitive to smoke, be aware that you may be overwhelmed. Parking is across the street from the hotel. It is easy to find a space in the evening, but can be difficult during the day. Had we not reached out directly to the hotel in advance to ask where to park, we would have been confused since it is not on the property proper. We were traveling around the country and, based on lack of parking at other hotels, we were very thankful for this convenience. We highly recommend this hotel, with the caveat about the smoking.

This is an older hotel but beautifully taken care of. Our room was clean and comfortable. The staff were accommodating and friendly. Breakfast was included, amazing and delicious. If I go back I will book another room here for sure.

Classic old hotel. Large rooms but with modern upgrades. Great location. Easy parking.

Very nice character. Unique property . Very friendly and helpful staff.
