Daniel Herzliya Hotel

We recently visited this hotel. The facilities were great, the room was very clean, and the staff at the reception were incredibly friendly. We also enjoyed a lovely time at the pool.

I booked a two night stay at the Daniel hotel for a mini vacation, and it was superb! Every one of the staff, from the security guard to Ehran at breakfast, greeted me nicely. When I arrived at the hotel two hours earlier than check-in, I assumed I would leave my bag and come back later. To my delight, I was able to check in early, my room was ready, and I had been upgraded to the Shizen rooms with a balcony and view of the ocean! Osnat handled check-in and she was a sweetheart. Although getting to the room was a little dark and outdated, the room itself was wonderful. The bathroom was clean and the bed was big and comfortable, not to mention that the towels were fluffy! I spent hours sitting on the balcony looking at the view. I also had the pleasure of going to the Shizen spa. It was my first time at a spa and it was a great experience. Veronica was nice and explained everything to me. I used the fitness room, which was clean and well-equipped. The pool is perfect for laps, and the jacuzzi was fun too. I got a classic massage by Natalia, who did a phenomenal job, and left the spa feeling great. Because I was staying in the Shizen wing, I was able to go back and forth from my room to the spa quickly. On my last day, the weather was sunny, and I spent the morning reading my book by the gorgeous pool and view of the beach. I had an excellent time at the Daniel hotel and look forward to staying there again.

I reserved the very pricey Deluxe Room with Balcony and Sea View. The room is outdated. The balcony unbelievably small and facing mostly a huge building and some sea view. The restroom is small and calstrophobic. And it seems the hotel is saving on basically whatever it can - service at the swimming pool area, proper soap in the bathroom. This is definitely not deluxe.

I’m sure that at one time, this would have been an excellent hotel. It’s position, immediately next to the beautiful beach, is perfect, it’s pool is well maintained, has a great temperature and has plenty of sunbeds. The food in the restaurant is also very good, albeit with almost no meat options. The lifts are also very fast, but sadly that’s where the positives end. The fabric of the building doesn’t appear to have been maintained for a considerable time, carpets are worn, paintwork is patchy and has evidence of poorly applied filler in places. The bar and reception service was poor. The website photos show what appears to be a 4*+ hotel, but in truth it barely warrants a 3*.

Stayed at The Daniel for a few days this week. Our family had a fantastic experience. Clean room, smiling and efficient staff. All the facilities you need. Huge clean pool. Can’t wait to return :) Excellent hotel for children of all ages.

This hotel was in the top 3 negative experiences in my 50 years of traveling internationally. Surely the top negative for being able to combine so many unforgivable mistakes, still basic standard elements of the international hotellerie. It’s rated a four stars hotel, and its room rates start at around 200 US dollars per night. Here is the list of the things to forget: 1- there is no assistance on luggage at your arrival. Same when you leave. No one helps or proposes to help, no one brings your luggage to the room. No one welcomes you. 2- I got twice keys ( I asked to change room for reasons you will see below) and in both cases, once reached the room I had to go back to the reception because the keys were not opening the door. Absolutely annoying. No apologies, no reaction from the personnel. 3- in the room: the level of the furniture is very low, black color, so basic design, painting is worn. Illumination is to forget about. Air conditioning was working well, but because of the too low temperatures used ( and scarce dehydration of the air) fabrics of the bed tend to take that “ oily and wet” feel which I really hate. 4 - the carpets in both rooms were dirty with clear stains and white painting spots out of the wall last painting.. same for the pavement. Same for the court sins and for the wall paint. 5- the large bed is in fact two beds put aside, with two mattresses, of low quality. Bed sheets were clean, changed every day, and in one case they were thorn. The bed size is slightly short ( and I am not tall). 4- all finiture are very bad: the windows, the doors, the tiles, the angles: all very dirty, badly installed, maintained, painted and dirt of the painting operations. 5- Rooms are mid size: the deluxe rooms are very ordinary, maybe a 3x5,5 mt size. 6- Closet absolutely insufficiently sized: it hold just one support for one piece of luggage ( wonder how a couple can manage), and a few holders of low quality and a safer. No iron, no shoe brushes, no slippers, no bathrobe, no hair drier in one room, smelling bad inside ( both rooms) 7- this structure has many balconies where the concrete and iron structure is practically cracking: I wonder the safety. To be restructured since many years, it shows many rusty metal structures. 8- in the first room the sink was not draining: once the personnel was informed, it got fixed, by my return at night on my second day. 9- the quality of the pillows ( 4 per bed) was very poor for a 4 star hotel. Their cotton cover was apparently clean, although showing the internal quite dirty. I question again the igiene. 10- the cleanliness of the bathroom , small, no window and no ventilation working, is very questionable: complementary toelette set is at the level of any 2-3 star hotel. In one case the bathroom had an awful smell of waste. 11- I found cockroaches in the bathroom, in the room , in the common areas and at the entrance of the hotel. I reported to the personnel: no apologies. After insistence, they

The Daniel Hotel on the Mediterranean is a beautiful clean beach resort. The staff are helpful and friendly. My husband and I arrived an hour before the 3:00 check in and our reserved room was not yet ready. Instead of asking us to wait we were upgraded to a room with a balcony directly overlooking the water. The buffet restaurant had large windows where we sat and enjoyed the view while we ate. The hotel served a full Israeli breakfast including choices of fish, cheeses, salads, eggs, omelets, bread, cereal, fruit and pastries. The dinner selections were equally varied. The hotel contains a spa where we each had a relaxing massage. Upon checkout we asked if our luggage could be stored so we could spend even more time enjoying our time there and they graciously accommodated us. I definitely recommend this hotel for families, couples and business guests.
