We had an amazing experience at Dan Carmel. We chose to stay in an executive room with a bay view, the view is indeed amazing (see the photos I took), and entrance to the lounge on Friday and Saturday is very affordable - a worthy substitute for lunch and afternoon coffee. The location of the hotel is great, close to the Baha'i Gardens and the German Colony. There is free parking at 73 President Boulevard, not far from the hotel.

This was a short two night trip with grandparents, parents and teens. It was very expensive as its peak season and we took 3 rooms with a sea view and access to the executive lounge. Putting the price aside, we really had an exceptionally nice time. The rooms were lovely and lived up to our high expectations. Breakfast was delicious, with a large range of options and the staff attentive. The pool area was clean and not too crowded and we had loungers with shade with no fight. The executive lounge was an added bonus and we enjoyed it very much. Wine and drinks on tap and a nice range of light eating options. The views from our rooms and from the executive lounge were simply breath taking. Honestly, we were sad to leave this place.

This is a quality hotel showing its age in the lobby and reception areas. Our room, an executive deluxe, was renovated, reasonably large with lots of cupboard and draw space. The bathroom, shower, toilet and basin are in a walled area, nicely decorated. The centre of activity is around the pool, which gets very busy from the late morning. The pool closes quite early at 6pm, which we found inconvenient. It meant swimming before breakfast or forgoing it because the pool was closed after our day trip. The hotel has commanding views over Haifa bay and is a great base for touring Galillee. We went to the wineries in Zichron Yaakov, and across to Tiberias. There are great hikes abd parks all over to visit. As it was school holidays, the hotel had arranged the amazing mentalist Lior Suchard for an evening performance, free for hotel guests. The most exceptional part of the hotel was the enormous breakfast, which continued until 11.30am. The choice was incredible, the amount of food continously replenished exceptional. The staff do try hard to provide great service 👏. I stayed in for the buffet dinner one evening, which had excellent food, drink and great value for money. Of the two neighbouring Dan hotels on the same street, the Carmel is best. We enjoyed our stay and would certainly stay again.

“Not enough value for money”

I came for three days ( two nights) Price was extremely high because of the holiday at the time .

I came for three days ( two nights) Price was extremely high because of the holiday at the time . I would expect when one pays average of 750$ per night, They will have at least a coffee machine in the room . I completely understand the fact the hotel has kosher label meaning he cannot operate electricity devices during Saturday or holidays, But the absence of decent coffee and breakfast was very much noticed . Second issue most of the employees at the dining hall and the bar do not speak Hebrew, they didn’t know how to assist and answer questions, Sam had the courtesy of smiling some just ignored . When I ask for an omelette, the waitress send me to the shakshuka pot , when finally her chief interfere they sent me to a stand, where the cook was absent, where I stood for over 10 minutes, only waiting for an omelette which was made unwillingly, and to my surprise with eggshells inside, I do want to note that the reception team upon check-in and checkout was very friendly, even though they were under tremendous amount of pressure because of the holiday , The Night Shift representative wasn’t very friendly. Another thing I would think that worth mentioning is the absence of power outlet in the bathroom? In order to use the hair blower I had to plug it in the room with no mirror is available … The festive dinner was beautifully presented very delicious and very diverse , again my only complaint is the absence of decent coffee . I can respect religion, but one would agree that in my own room I can do as I please, including coffee! I found coffee machines in much lower grade hotels, simple espresso machine would have been sufficient.
