Reviews
Look for a real hotel. Save your money. Go elsewhere.
Low rating. Paid over $380 per room per night for 2 rooms and 3 night stay in mid August 2023. Many deficiencies in the rooms from broken toilet seat, noisy AC, non-cooling refrigerator, bath drain, old scratched uncomfortable furniture, broken window handles, missing window screen, etc.
On the first day at breakfast the coffee was prepared by the host and was very bad. On the second day another worker serviced a good coffee. On the third day that worker was absent, so they marked the coffee machine 'broken'.
In the morning I asked the host to have a table of 4 by the window. The immediate answer was 'we do not have any'. I insisted to check. They had several vacant tables.
Similarly when I got the first room with ripped drapes I asked to get another room. The immediate reply was 'the hotel is full, we do not have any rooms left'. I called the main Dan Hotel reservation number which convinced the manager to provide another room also with deficiencies.
In a following email communication customer service claimed that all rooms are checked twice before occupancy. Clearly a brush off statement. He offered a discount for future visits but no refund. In a later email he blamed me for not contacting the staff on every single broken item. I am at the hotel for travel and pleasure and not to be bothered repeatedly by hotel maintenance. I need to sleep at night and not be bothered by noisy AC fan. It must have been deficient for some time.
I suspect that since my son showed up first at the hotel speaking English (we are from Los Angeles) they thought to get a free ride at non-informed tourist. Sorry guys. I am an Israeli but you sure got me this time.
If you care for a quality and pleasant time would you visit such hotel?
One of the features of the Ruth Hotel is its historical buildings, which used to be a khan. The preservation and incorporation of these historic structures into the hotel's design lend a sense of authenticity and a connection to the rich heritage of the area. It was truly a delight to wander under the arches throughout the well kept grounds.
The views from the large dining room window were stunning. It was the perfect backdrop to enjoy excellent meals.
The hotel's gardens and swimming pool provided a serene oasis where I could relax and unwind. The Ruth Hotel is not adults only, therefore sometimes loud children at the pool or dining room made the feel less tranquil at times. I should have requested to be seated at a quiet outdoor table instead of inside the dining room Friday evening, guests who did so enjoyed a lovely relaxing dinner and comfortable evening weather even during the warmest weather in July.
One of the highlights of my stay was discovering the wine bar situated inside an ancient khan from the Mameluke period. It was a truly unique setting. On one evening, I had the pleasure of experiencing live music by musicians from the Maqamat School of Eastern Music, located near the hotel. The combination of the enchanting melodies, a glass of excellent wine, and the backdrop of an amazing sunset created a truly unforgettable experience.
The Ruth Hotel also impressed me with its excellent service. The hotel offered complimentary tours led by David Amiel, a knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and entertaining tour guide ,a 12th generation Safed resident. His passion for the region's history and his storytelling skills truly brought the city to life.
Overall, my experience at the Ruth Hotel was wonderful . From the historical buildings and breathtaking views to the delightful wine bar , friendly staff (especially Stav), and the expertly guided tours, every aspect of my stay was great . I would highly recommend the Ruth Hotel to anyone seeking a unique and unforgettable experience in the heart of the Galilee region.
Definitely recommend it.
Much love to you all 💖
We had come to Safed for a short break from our main holiday in Tel Aviv and unfortunately we hadn’t brought our passports with us. This meant we were forced to pay VAT even though the tax is chargeable only to Israeli citizens. The receptionist was very blunt and adamant.
The amount of 17% was not huge, but nobody likes to pay a tax that they don’t have to pay. I say this because at the airport, returning to the UK, my wife was able to get a refund for VAT paid on a dress and for a gift but not for the hotel. The person at the VAT desk at the airport told us that, as tourists, we simply shouldn’t have been charged this tax. We knew this at the time we paid but we were given no choice.
We paid the VAT under protest because the hotel said we didn’t have our passports, but they promised that as soon as we emailed them a photo of our passport and entry visa, they would refund us the tax. This simply did not happen. Instead, our email was simply not answered and it leaves a very bad after-taste.
The hotel is otherwise pleasant. Our room was very nice, the breakfast was very good and there’s a lovely view from the dining room and layered terraces. It was just unfortunate that one receptionist has an unpleasant manner and they didn’t follow through on their promise and, indeed, duty to refund us the local tax.
