Colony Hotel Haifa

Location great. Parking in back. Decent breakfast. Slow checkin and reception doesnt help w reservations Bath had a lot of hair in it. Bedding was clean. Dated decor overall

Very good location, very good service and very pleasant to.

המלון ממוקם בבניין עתיק ויפה שעבר שחזור ושופץ ומשקיף על מקדש הבהאיים. זה יתרונו הגדול. הבעיה היא ששילמנו כמעט 1,000 שקל ללילה בחדר דלוקס, והתמורה לא התקרבה להצדיק את המחיר הזה. בחדר אין שום דבר שהוא "דלוקס". הוא לא גדול במיוחד, יש בו מיטת "זוגית" שמורכבת משתי מיטות יחיד שחוברו, קומקומון פלסטיק עם שקיות קפה נמס ותה מהסוג הזול, אפילו בלי חלב למי שמבקש להכין לעצמו. במקרה שלנו המקרר גם לא עבד. גם בארוחת הבוקר בשבת לא היה קפה איכותי, כנראה מטעמי כשרות, גם לא להכנה עצמית. האוכל חומם על פלטות, ועל ביצים שעשויות במקום לא היה על מה לדבר. בקשתנו לאחר מעט את הצ'ק אאוט סורבה, מה שעד היום לא קרה כמעט במלון כשהיציאה היא בשבת. בקיצור, סביר בסך הכל, לא יותר, ומבאס מעט במחיר כזה.

The Colony Hotel, seems to be resting on its past laurels, as it was not as it was touted and appeared online. First, there was very loud live music coming from the rooftop, which one could hear both through the windows and the thin doors, where one could also hear partiers. The room I was shown to had bars on all the windows, it resembled a nice prison cell, and the air was musty. The bed was too soft and the pillows were large and uncomfortable. The breakfast buffet was nothing to write home about compared to others I experienced in this part of the world. The staff during my stay was inexperienced. The location was good, but there were several other options in the vicinity which I stopped by, and which seemed to have better more customer oriented service.

This hotel is fabulous! We were travelling with our grandson. The morning before we arrived we called and explained that we really wanted two connecting rooms, or at least rooms very close together. When we arrived the clerk showed us that we had indeed connecting rooms, on the ground floor. They were perfect -- comfortable, spacious, and clean. The complimentary breakfast had hot food, cold food, a Capuccino machine -- something for everyone. It was Friday morning and we needed a challah to take with us back to Jerusalem, where we were staying. One of the staff directed us to a lovely bakery a block from the hotel. In the other direction was a magnificent view of the Bahai Gardens from the bottom. I can't imagine a better place to stay in Haifa.
