Hotel in zona Glass Art Museum Arad, Arad

There may be special areas and rooms of this hotel that warrant some of the reviews I’ve read, but what we encountered was one of the worst hotels we have ever stayed in. Hotels in unique tourist locations around the world often suffer the same fate. Management knows that there are limited choices if one wants to spend a night right on the Dead Sea, they know the benefit of location is their primary value and thereby just let their properties deteriorate. The front desk barely speaks English, is ill informed about most anything in the hotel and hands out keys. The room was FILTHY AND DISGUSTING, as in making you want to shower twice after leaving to get rid of that feeling. Bed sheets torn and dirty, 1 towel per person, AC that you can set to anything but won’t cool the room below 24 C, broken and stained balcony chairs and not so much as a bottle of water. The front door frame seemed ready to fall off the wall. Then the toilet broke (not ideal when one of us likely got sick from the buffet) and the hotel phone stopped working so it was impossible to call for help other than go down to the lobby. In all fairness, the staff was very responsive with regard to fixing the toilet and bringing towels. AC…no chance. Then let’s not forget the fire alarm in the middle of the night. With no phone, you couldn’t call to confirm if it was a real emergency. We trusted that since we were in Israel, if there were a real emergency we would have known it clearly…hopefully that was a good bet. The buffet had tons of food but I guess we are all now (via Covid) conditioned to certain levels of food safety and sanitation. All for good reason. Not at the David. Hundreds of people and kids touching, handling, breathing, coughing and in some cases sneezing directly on the food. Disgusting. This may have been a nice place in the 80’s, which sadly might have been the last time management out any money into The David. One Star is because the staff seemed responsive to some room issues (the dining room staff seemed bored and as if they really wished the guests would just go home) and the location. However a tent with a boxed lunch on the beach would offer the same or better location benefit. I don’t know if all of the hotels in this area are the same, but I’d never suggest anyone stay at The David. If the others are similar, then I’d vote for a drive by, take a dip/float and move on.

L'albergo di per sé è datato, noi avevamo speso qualcosa in più per avere una matrimoniale, ma il letto aveva due materassi, invece di uno matrimoniale. L'hotel ha anche una piscina, abbastanza grande. Le camere sono datate. Ed il personale della reception non era molto professionale, escluso i due ragazzi uno biondo con i capelli lunghi ed uno con i capelli corti moro, che parlavano russo perfettamente. Il punto forte era il ristorante infatti la mia 4 stella è per questo, la cena è le colazioni erano a buffet, con vasta scelta di piatti caldi e freddi frutta e dolci, tutto veramente buono. E vorrei ringraziare il cuoco alto con gli occhiali. Il prezzo dell'hotel era il più basso quindi per godersi due giorni del mar morto,va bene.

Le stanze “vista mare” del primo piano hanno vista su un tetto. Accendendo l’aria condizionata (indispensabile) entrano gli odori del ristorante . Alla reception non sono collaborativi è troppo pochi . Evitare accuratamente i we perché molto frequentato dalle famiglie che sono molto numerose e i bambini vengono lasciati liberi di fare qualsiasi cosa anche al ristorante. Adatto a famiglie perché si mangia molto bene e c’è l’intrattenimento per i bimbi, ma sconsigliato a coppie e gruppi di amici.

!!!מאוד נהנינו מהיומיים במלון !!! השרות אדיב ומהיר (תקלה בטלוויזיה תוקנה תוך 5 דקות...), ארוחות הבוקר מדהימות בשפע המאכלים וכל המנות טעימות ביותר - Signor Presidente, signore. המקלחת לא בנויה טוב (כל שטח הרצפה נרטב לגמרי...) אבל שאר החדר נפלא. ערב התרבות (הופעה של ”הכושים העבריים” היה מלהיב ביותר (רקדנו עד אפיסת כוחות...), אם כי הערב השני היה חלש לעומתו.

Carente la struttura (un po' datata),carente la ristorazione di scarsa qualita', carente il servizio in sala e in spiaggia, carente assai la pulizia, carenti le piscine super affollate.Faccio salva solo la posizione a pochi metri dalla spiaggia attrezzata che pero' chiude prestissimo e, come dicevo poco sopra,gode di un servizio un po' ruvido. Stanza accettabile con bella veduta sul Mar Morto (che è un luogo davvero particolare) ma letti separati(??) Alla luce delle considerazioni fatte ritengo il prezzo per una notte(circa 250 euro) assolutamente esorbitante.

I had a very bad experience during my stay here.I loss some cash inside their premises.It was a lesson learned to me.To be mindful and secure my personal belongings all the time.The staff were not helpful and not polite or not friendly at all.None of them greeted you a simple ”Good morning compared to hotel that I stayed before.It was difficult to get a good sleep at night because the aircon was so noisy.Poor room maintenance.My first stay and very sure will be the last.
