Not a great experience

After having come from a spa in northern Israel which was incredible .. the staff went out of their way to be helpful, it was not the feeling in this hotel. It had a cold feeling .. it was a gorgeous hotel, with incredible views, and wonderful art, but it left my husband and I cold. I felt like we were in an art gallery but had a place to sleep there. Also, they claim they ah e an elevator, which they do, but each of the rooms I saw had a number of steps up to the room. My husband has a walker, and it was a bit difficult for him. It would have been wonderful if someone offered to help us to our room. I wish I hadn’t spent the kind of money I did on this place.

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.
