Quirky hotel, good location for stopover
Quirky, arty, really great swimming pool and gardens. Breakfasts were very good with ample variety. Location good for a stopover and an enjoyable walk into the centre of town. Housekeeping was very hit and miss - could do with a more structured timetable.

We booked a half board stay at a significant premium, expecting dinner on arrival. However, we were only offered a sandwich or soup in the bar. Dinner the next night did not even include soft drinks. Also had maintenance issues in the room. When we complained and asked to talk to the manager, there was sympathy but no call back from manager and no compensation whatsoever. Service is sympathetic but not effective. Value for money, especially for the half board upgrade, is poor.

Our experience at Elma Hotel
My family and I had a two night stay at this property. The location and view from our room was amazing. The service on the other hand was not great. We stayed in suite 501 which is right above the garage opening which creates tremendous noise from banging against the drainage system of the garage that translated straight to our room about 400 to 500 times a day. We asked for our room to be serviced and it was not. For the price we paid we expected a lot better quality of stay.

Amazing architecture. Very poor service.
Great location for a relaxing weekend. Amazing architecture. A must be for architects. But the service is horrible! The food is just fine what you would expect for a luxury hotel in Israel. But the Frontdesk is unbelievable incompetent. Everything we needed or asked has to be asked three or four times and even than it’s not happening.
