Hotels in Israel can rate themselves, the Leonardo Plaza in Ashdod has seen for to give itself 4 stars. It is not 4 star more like 3 star and a little plus. We booked a 3 night stay, the hotel is situated just outside the main port city of Ashdod, most of the rooms have a good view and with our room being on the top 12th floor we had a view overlooking the city and a sea view. The main problem is that it is in the middle of a redevelopment, although no work was taking place while we were there, it’s not very pretty. We arrives after a delayed flight near to midnight, checkin was quick but no assistance with the luggage and no assistance given that we could use trolleys, we couldn’t even find them so although the lift weren’t too far away lugging 3 large suitcases and hand luggage was difficult. We found the room ok, it was adequate, air conditioning a must, the window could be opened, a safe in the wardrobe and an empty fridge. The bathroom is small with the shower being in the bath. The double king size bed was comfortable The following morning, breakfast. If you’ve never had an Israeli breakfast, it’s a sight, yesterdays pizza, raw fish, pastries, eggs any way you want them, meats, cheeses, cereals, yoghurts, I think I saw pasta. People were filling their plates as if it was the last meal they were to have. It’s a free for all with guests coming and going, bumping into each other. There’s plenty of tables available unfortunately if someone is sitting on the table next to you, you might find it difficult to get in the table are so near to each other. The orange, grapefruit juice is out of a carton and watered down. Tea and coffee is served from a counter into paper cups but the the milk and sugar is at the other end of the restaurant. Not very good planning. Getting your food is quite something, nothing is labelled, there are no bowls, only plated so if you want say a fruit salad (out of a tin) with yogurt it’s goes on a plate, same with cornflakes or anything else you need a bowl for. There are no table spoon only tea spoons, when asked for bowls or table spoons you’re met with a shrug. Once you’ve got through breakfast it’s time for the pool, the one defining factor of the hotel although some of the poolside loungers were in need of repair, but the water was clean and in general the pool surround was quite clean. Also, check the season you go, July is wedding month, I lost count of the weddings that took place, noisy and very busy with wedding guests, photographers and videos who think they are making a screen classic shouting, look her in the eyes, make that you love each other. Yes, they were actually calling out this to the wedding couple. On checkout with 3 or 4 staff behind the counter, the receptionist didn’t even take her feet off the chair, wished us a good day, nothing extra to pay (it was prepaid) and wished us a good day. This time we found the luggage trolly and managed the luggage ourselves. We’ve been once, we won’t
