    Super clean room. Extremely friendly David and his sister. 2 minutes from bus stop. Free parking spaces. We stayed 4 nights exploring Christ's path in Galilee. We rented a car for two days. This place is run by David and his sister. She cleaned the place Extremely well. David was very helpful for recommending restaurants, directions, transportation, etc. During our stay, Hamas in Gaza attacks Israel and most flights in Tel Aviv airport were canceled. We decided to cross the Israel/Jordan border by land. David called the border crossing several times to make sure it is open. They also gave my wife icecream to calm her down. My wife was very nervous. We were Extremely happy with our stay. Will come back again

    Location is not easy to access for an international backpacker who have no idea of Hebrew language.

    As a private hostel, the boss is very nice and friendly to the guest. It is more or less like a family.

    A bit expensive, but in Israel everything is expensive

    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

    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.

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

    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!

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

    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.

    David and Ariela are extremely heartwarming and hospitable hosts! Their attentiveness to their guests' needs really make you feel at home. They are always willing to help out if you have any questions on travel & public transport information around the Galilee area. Most importantly, you can always have a great conversation with them and learn more about life in Israel and Tiberias! The rooms were very clean and comfortable, with very good wifi. The common room was also nice for meeting and talking to other travellers staying in the hostel. With 53 years of tradition, it really is an institute!

    Everything can be improved, but I don't have any particular complaints.

    I spent two quiet and pleasant nights at the Hostel. David and his sister welcomed me with great care and did their best to make me feel comfortable. I remember that I arrived in Tiberias on Friday afternoon and everything on the street was closed due to Shabbat. At the hostel they were very kind and offered me dinner so that I wouldn't go to bed hungry. The rooms are simple, but very clean and comfortable. It is a Hostel with tradition and they know how to serve the client in the best way.

    David and Ariela were warm, helpful and accessible hosts. They made you feel welcome. The cleanliness of the room and bathroom was exceptional. The cold, filtered water to fill your flask was something I appreciated. The lanai seating area was a pleasant feature, especially for morning coffee. While I didn’t need it, the option for breakfast, that could also be take-away, was a nice plus. David could give a hospitality training course for other lodging places.
