The Scots Hotel

If you’re looking for a quiet, classy yet cozy hotel with amazing food, a relaxing spa, and incredibly welcoming staff — this is the place. From the moment we booked with Sharbel, we knew it would be special. On arrival, Peter welcomed us with cold apple juice and warm hospitality. The hotel blends historic charm with modern elegance, and the room had a beautiful view of the Kinneret. Dinner and breakfast were both delicious — I had the best omelet from Salim! The spa was peaceful, Tal was kind, and the pool area was clean and quiet. The gardens are perfect for a stroll or relaxing. Don’t miss reading the story behind the hotel — it’s just as special as the stay.

Highly Recommended Experience at the Scots Hotel We highly recommend a stay at the Scots Hotel for adults who appreciate beautiful antique-style historic buildings with beautifully maintained gardens and a quiet and prestigious atmosphere. The hotel is very well-maintained and immaculate. The staff was helpful and friendly. This hotel is not suited for kids and is designed for guests over 16 years old. We will be glad to stay at this hotel again.

Nice size clean room, comfortable bed, good shower. Buffet breakfast and dinners were wonderful. Staff was very professional and friendly. There was an art gallery/shop but we did not have time to stop in. We stayed two nights and for our purposes this hotel was great. I have no complaints. We were with a large group touring Israel so did not spend much time at hotel.

We just returned home from Israel where we spent three nights of our trip a the Scots Hotel in Tiberias. It's a beautiful historic property with several separate stone buildings. Our room itself didn't have a view of the sea but the hotel is situated right across the street from the Galilee so every time you walk out onto the lushly landscaped grounds you can admire the view of the sea. The pool area is gorgeous as well. Across the street there is also a promenade you can walk on with some shops, etc. We stayed in the building called "Doctor's House" on the second floor. It was so pretty and sweetly decorated in accordance with the style of the time (a comfy four-poster king bed, hardwood furniture, a divan and table as well as a desk). There's a Nespresso machine in the room as well as a filtered drinking water machine that dispenses hot and cold water. The bathroom was nice and spacious. We really enjoyed the included breakfast and dinner buffet every day which was quite excellent. There was a huge variety of food and everything was delicious. The dining area was spacious and tranquil. We only encountered a larger tour group on one night of our stay. The rest of our time there we only only saw independent travelers. Even on the night that the larger group was there, it wasn't too crowded. There are three large seating areas. Service was always professional and friendly, from the front desk to housekeeping to the bellmen. Everything was as it should be. We really loved our time at The Scots. We're very glad to have stayed there as we had heard from friends that there are not very many nice hotels in the Galilee area. This one was perfect and we would definitely recommend!

Tiberias is a dump of a city but we stayed there as a jumping off point for four days of touring in the North with a private guide. We chose the Scots because it seemed to be the best option out of all the hotels. The property is beautiful, restful and peaceful. The pool is fabulous!! We stayed in a sea-view room in the Doctor's House. The room was large and so was the bathroom. However, the bed was AWFUL and extremely hard. We complained to everyone and all they could do was give us an extra bed bad, which didn't help at all. For a hotel that is expensive, it is inexcusable that they don't have memory foam toppers. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel. The food was better than expected (good wine list) but not great. The dining room is depressing, the music dreadful and the atmosphere does not encourage you to linger or have a leisurely meal.

The hotel is very well maintained. The property is very nice. The food amazing, delicious food. Smells great all the time is so Clean. Great swimming pool.
