Herbert Samuel Royal Shangri-La Eilat

Overpriced The hotel is a bit overpriced- you don't really get your money's worth or value. I understand that this is a war-time and not everything can go to plan but some things suprised me. For example, we paid for a deluxe room and were given a standard room. When this was brought to thier attention, they did not feel inclined to help. The room we stayed in suffered multiple blackouts and kept losing electricity and power and we had to flip the switch on (in the electric box) repeatedly throughout our stay. The website also made it seem that the pool and lounge at the Shangri-la was open when it was in fact closed due to a lack of staff. The main pool area had too many flies to be able to sit comfortably and relax. Other than those issues, the room was clean but a bit run down, the bed was comfortable and there was a nice sized patio. Breakfast was great and the hotel area was easy to navigate by foot even though it was a bit of a steep incline (this hotel is built on and into the side of a mountain). I would hesitate to stay here again.

Disappointing Not as images, outdated rooms, same as his brother Orchide hotel just under different name, doesn't look like high class luxurios rooms. No reason to pay extra to be in these rooms. Facilities are not so good - Traqlin, pool... Better getting down to the Orchide's pool which is great. As rooms are far, every movement requires a Shuttle. The closet was broken, the shower had poor current of water in the shower, we were missing thing for 3 persons(was prepared only for 2) - all fixed after calling recrption but disappointing dealing with it when just entering the room. Breakfast is great. Stuff are nice. We got couple of hours for late check in. Better to pay less, expect less and stay at Orchide.

Hôtel vieux. Frigo cassé, chambres non faites, pas de serviettes disponibles. Placard à portes cassées. Il a fallu réclamer le service de chambre à 22h pour qu’ils nous envoient un homme de ménage qui a fait la chambre en 4 mn au total. Le tout avec une salle de bain crasseuse
