The highlight of this hotel a the outdoor swimming pool which has an amazing view over the Sea of Galilee and also a nice outdoor seating area. The hotel is twenty minutes walk down a steep hill to the waterfront. The breakfast buffet was substantial with an excellent variety. The only downside was there were no coat hangers or towel rails in the bathroom meaning there was nowhere to hang your wet swimsuits.

If you are looking for a high-class hotel experience in the Tiberias area, you are not going to find it here. Even with the leaking AC, which the hotel staff took care of, my stay here was pleasant enough. Meals here are pretty basic, with one great exception. On certain nights, the hotel hosts a restaurant, Shulchan Hagalil. What a pleasant surprise. The food was plentiful and delicious, and the service was great.

I now understand why some great reviews and others are poor. We stayed here in two rooms and they gave us the second floor. First impression was hallway carpet was discussing, not just stained but like it hadn’t been vacuumed in a month. Both rooms were dirty, old, with broken bathroom doors, mirror frame that was falling down and wood rut and mold, dirty sink. My parents asked for a different room and got a room on 13th floor. New room was upgraded and modern, cleaner, no visible mold, no carpet. We asked for a different room and new room on 3rd floor was the same, smelly, dingy and dirty. Requested an upgraded room and the following day they moved us to the 9th floor that was also renovated. So your experience will greatly depend on which floor you stay in. The food and service were good.…

Beautiful hotel. The rooms are decent, breakfast was great. No room service. Don’t expect friendly staff. Doesn’t seem that hospitality or friendliness is an attribute here in this hotel or town. Small grocery right behind the hotel so easy to shop. Overall not a bad place. Great view as well

I was expecting a nice one night stay as part of my vacation. I was surprised to find the room to be disgusting. The door was open when i got there. The room smelled like bug spray, the floor was sticky, the glasses were filthy, there was hair on the floor in the bathroom and in the bedsheets. I actually was thinking of sleeping in my car. Also, the carpets in the hallway are dirty. I do not recommend this place.

Not very accessible for folks with problem in taking stairs as elevators are different for odd and even floored rooms with necessity of taking steps from reception for one of the elevators. Similarly- restaurant is at lower level. AC controls did not work- so we had to open the windows to make the temperature comfortable. Rooms look tired. As a Shabbath compliant hotel- no creamer in rooms. We were with a travel group which included dinner and breakfast. No hot vegetarian options were available in-spite of informing in advance.

Dear Travelking123, Thank you so much for sharing with us your experience at Prima galil Hotel. Regarding the hotel structure , indeed, no elevator reach the dining room floor, there are 8-9 steps in order to reach the restaurant level. Also, our hotel use a central cooling /heating system, the guests can not change from heating to cooling, but they can set the temperature they want in the room on the thermostat. Our guests can always ask for help and one of our employees will be more than to assist his. The creamer in the room has nothing to do with Sabbath, there is a guest service center, as well as the reception that can be used for any request. We are not a vegetarian hotel but there are always items on the buffet for guests that prefer vegetarian food . We are sorry that you did not enjoy your stay with us and we wish you good luck in your future travels! Regards, Alina M Operations Manager

Carpets dirty and worn. Elevator system needs overhaul as not customer friendly. furniture throughout hotel including lobby and rooms both renovated and not renovated are outdated, upholstery dirty and need to be replaced; majority of staff unfriendly, rooms on lower floors smell dank; bugs in lobby and most likely through out the hotel, definitely NOT a superior hotel; a 2 - 2+ at best. Not all staff speak Englisg. Do yourself a favor and give it a miss

We have an official report for this. We request that you remove the false information or you will have to prove your information by the law requests. We are sorry that you did not enjoy your stay with us and we do appreciate a negative honest feedback , unfortunately yours is not. Good luck in your future travels!

The hotel is old , the roots are wiem out. The stad is very unfriendly at least one girl , No smile at all. Like she was there for the punishment. No heating options for two nights altough it was very cold and rainy outside. No hair dryer. Unless you stand next to the window , you will get cold wind from the draughty window. Food at the restaurant was cold even shortly after opening . Highly not recommend

We stayed at Prima Galil hotel for 2 nights during our winter break. The hotel was clean, easy to find, good breakfast but not substantial as in our Jerusalem hotel, and check-in was a breeze. We were able to catch the bus for Tel Aviv from a bus stop close to the hotel. The only down side for us was a long steep walk from the bus station. But this is on us. I highly recommend taking a taxi from the bus station to the hotel. Vice versa is not that bad as you are going downhill.

I wrote this review regarding the Prima Galil and can only repeat and expand on the comments to say that my most recent visit on Oct 12 - 16 surpassed even the comments in every sphere of "hospitality at its best" - do yourself a favor for any occasion and experience these comments yourself "If you want a "home away from home" to celebrate special occasions - Prima Galil is the address- you will have a magical experience with professional and friendly staff at your service and lovely accommodations and delicious cuisine. This is a first class hotel and has a feeling of warmth and all the amenities of home hospitality at its best. I have been celebrating my special occasion for years at the "northern home" and it is now on speed dial for future years! The view of the Kinneret is a plus also"…
