David Hostel

hospitality was much more than expected

The place is just perfect. Every minor detail is thoroughly thought. And the owners have just a perfect taste: they managed to take advantage of the most basic things to create a unique atmosphere. The place is exceptionally clean, the air conditioners are new and a tiny garden is extremely nice. You have a fridge in your room, there are 2 small kitchens at the hostel and a large supermarket is located nearby. Bus stops are really close and early in the morning (when it is not that hot yet) you can even get downtown by walking

A bit expensive, but in Israel everything is expensive

David was an excellent host and we loved our room. Very clean and comfy, exactly what we needed!

Couldn’t stay longer :)

David and Areala (possibly not the correct spelling) are extremely humble, warm and welcoming siblings. They embraced us like we were family returning home. They are beautiful people that would take that extra step to help your stay be faultless. I had an experience on my second day, as my hired car developed a fault and within 1 hour I had a replacement car within my possession. David swiftly guided me to the hire car representative in the area and communicated my problem to them. Apart from saying “hello” and “goodbye” to the staff I don’t recall saying anything else! David in a respectful manner took charge, he provided a swift, pain free, cost free resolution, so I could return to my holiday itinerary without much loss of time. What a service! The food at David’s hostel was very tasty and much was given! The room sizes are moderate yet extremely comfortable and clean to standard a surgeon would be proud! We had a lovely balcony that offered us additional space. Israeli and Tiberias culture is strong in David’s and the lounge area mixes character with culture. There was parking immediately outside the hostel and a beautiful private garden. The cost was extremely affordable and our prices were adjusted as we had one guest not attend. David made it clear that we would not bare any additional costs despite the late cancellation of this third person. During breakfast, David and Areala had provided us with sandwiches for a lunch therefore helping us save on daily costs. There was no additional fees! The location of David’s hostel was slightly off the main roads entering into tiberias and away from the tourist trail. Yet close enough to swiftly exit the town. We walked close by to a supermarket and ATM without any problems. After travelling around tiberias I quickly realised David’s hostel is within an excellent location by car.

Hosts were wonderful. Breakfast was excellent.

Would have liked a longer shower curtain.

The hosts are amazing! They showed so much warmth, thoughtfulness, and kindness towards me. The accommodations were above my expectations and incredibly clean. I was so glad I stayed there at this hostel instead of the hotel where the rest of my tour group were staying. When I told them how nice it was, they were jealous! I was able to cook my own food- there are 2 kitchens for guests to use and so I saved money for not eating in restaurants. The stay at the David hostel was one of the delights of my trip that I will always remember. Thank you David and Ariela!

Nothing! I have nothing negative to say about David Hostel.

we booked a room with ensuite and small balcony. everything was as advertised. there was a large common area where breakfast was served. David was there to check us in and was available throughout our stay. He drove us to the bus station with bags when we departed.

the unavoidable uphill in Tiberius. we made regular use of public transport on way up.

Great hospitality. Recommendation!

Great host, cheerful and colorful.
