We stayed here for 2 nights and it was just fine. The hotel is right on the beach - which I really wanted (so I could dash out for a swim before breakfast etc - as it got too hot later in the day). A lot of hotels in Ein Botek are a bit of a walk from the beach,... more

Stayed one night on the dead sea. This hotel is good, but nothing special. Our room was not ready on time, but this was not a big bother, as we just went out to the beach, floated in the sea, and went to the spa (which is GREAT, read below). We stayed on the ninth floor of the hotel, and... more

We stayed at the Hod as the second part of our 3 centre tour of Israel. The hotel itself was lovely and the spa and beach excellent. The entertainment at night was a for an older market so we stayed in our rooms at night although there are other public places to chill out within the hotel. Staff were attentive... more

Stayed here for 1 night in September and it was fine, nothing fancy or good just fine. The breakfast was ok, the room clean enough, the spa did the job but not somewhere I would recommend. Also careful of the El Breik spa near massada my car got broken in there and all my jewlery stollen! more

Hi I'm just back from a 12 days trip in israel. I traveled across the country and I spent 3 excellent days in the Hod hotel next to the Dead Sea. It's a few km away of Ein Gidi / the waterfalls / Massada. Pros: - Direct private access to the dead see. Only 3 hotels have such privilege. -... more

Just returned from 1 night stay at this hotel. It far exceeded my expectations and was a great accomodation, esp. for the price. Beautiful Dead Sea beach right there, lovely spa - and this hotel is smaller than the very high priced larger hotels. Excellent breakfast, fun entertainment at night, very clean - gorgeous bathrooms. I felt like a queen... more

My wife and I spent 2 nights at the Hod during our honeymoon and were VERY happy with our stay. Upon notifying the desk that it was our honeymoon, we were treated wonderfully. We received a fruit basket and champagne from the manager and had a room on a high floor with a great view of the Dead Sea. The... more

Stayed at the Hod for a night and that was sufficient.The Dead Sea is ofcourse unique, but the number of old Russians hanging in the water, or blocking all chairs in the shade with their towels without using them is not extremely attractive. The hotel is indeed well-situated and the rooms are fine. In the evening there is entertainment and... more

Staying at the Dead Sea can be disappointing, since the hotels there are not on par with other hotels in Israel (standards in Eilat, for example, are much higher). Other problems are that most of the hotels are not directly on the beach, and weekends and holidays can make the hotels packed and terribly noisy . Since there are virtually... more
