Nir Etzion Hotel

Highly recommended for traditionalists and the religious/ultra-Orthodox community. Excellent service!

Nir Etzion Hotel – a different charm than anything you will feel in Israel. ​If you are looking for peace, tranquility and a true pastoral atmosphere – this is the place. There is a green rural feeling here, and for those who like – even the scent of cows and nature around. ​The location is simply great. Although some of the rooms have an old look, they are maintained to a very high standard. The service is excellent, and the place is suitable for everyone – but provides a perfect solution especially for the traditionalists and the Haredi public.

We arrived at night, felt that apart from the beauty of the view there was almost nothing good about the place. The wifi was bad so we opened a hotspot ourselves.. There was never anyone available in the cafeteria in the end we asked the reception, In the dining room there are no glass or porcelain cups but only disposable ones, a woman slipped on dirt no one approached her, no apology and they were not in a hurry to clean. The food is fresh but very basic nothing special or tasty at all.. Breakfast is really musty, desserts are disgusting. There was an unpleasant lifeguard at the pool who was annoyed that we were not quiet and silent, meaning we came to enjoy and fool around in the pool! She asked the women to remove their shoes from the pool, she asked us what we were doing wrong... There are no curtains for privacy in the locker rooms and there are no soaps or hair dryers. Not suitable for children at all

I arrived for one night. Cute hotel, aimed at the religious and ultra-Orthodox public. The rooms are clean, with a green mountain view. The food is extremely disappointing. The vegetables are not fresh, seem varied but in reality some are not tasty or inedible. For example, liquid delicacies at breakfast. Dips are very limited and not updated at breakfast - no tasty spreads like pesto, etc., only spicy ones. Meat dinner is not tasty except for the chicks and chicken. The food lacks salt. Disposable cups only. I slipped on the floor on porridge that was spread on the floor - no one came to check on me or help me, they were in no hurry to clean up after that until I asked several times. There are no substitutes for vegans/sensitive to milk at breakfast - only soy milk, with no reference to cheeses and other types of milk.. Very weak internet wifi that dropped several times. A very old TV remote that doesn't operate any function except switching between TV channels. Luckily we found a remote app and could put whatever we wanted. The pool intended for hotel guests is small, and the lifeguard kept bothering us, demanding that we be quiet and not talk as if it were a library, sat down on the chair with our belongings and was really snoozing. I explained to her that we were here on vacation, this is not an Olympic sports pool and we are allowed to talk and enjoy ourselves and not just swim in silence. In the locker rooms, there is no separation for privacy between the women's showers, there is no soap, there is nothing to dry hair or ventilate except for the air that comes in through the door. The cafeteria was unmanned most of the time, and there is almost no selection beyond popsicles and the like. Very basic. In summary, the hotel is clean, quiet, with an amazing view. But the food is at the level of a hostel, and the service is not so good.

A nice hotel with a taste of yesteryear, suitable for religious families

I was at the hotel on Simchat Torah, arriving at the rooms, one room had a very unpleasant smell, they moved one room to another floor altogether. Entering the room, dirty glasses in all the rooms, the smell of disinfectants like in a hospital in the hallways and carpets with crumbs that were not cleaned during the entire stay at the hotel. Prayers without atmosphere and a very old crowd that we did not expect such an atmosphere on Simchat Torah. The food, except for the breakfast, which was plentiful, was not tasty, dishes that repeated themselves, the same meat that arrived in the evening and in the morning, food that came out was returned to the kitchen, and kiddush on Simchat Torah morning consisting of 5% cheese, cottage cheese, crackers and vegetables. When I looked for someone to talk to, everyone I approached told me I was not responsible until one told me the duty manager would be there shortly. The duty manager who was supposed to be at the hotel during the holiday did not come at all, and on Saturday night when I asked him to come, he spoke in a really disparaging manner. When he arrived he gave me a feedback sheet and told me I can't help you and I won't remember what you tell me, write it on the sheet. The highest level of disrespect for customers I've ever seen in my life. I won't go back to the place voluntarily!

We had a family Shabbat, a group of about 30 people including children, and it was a total success.

He would be there on Simchat Torah.

It already looks like a beautiful place that needs renovation. The outside cabins are beautiful, the rooms are less so and the facilities of the place are outdated. It seems that a lot of conferences are held there so take that into account.
