Arbel Guest House - Tiberias

is was a nice experience to stay in this B&B The family was very friendly and the food was excellent

We read some good reviews of the Arbel Guest House and so made a reservation based on these reviews. We were not disappointed!! While the room was not lavish, it met our needs and had plenty of room. We ended up with a 2-bedroom apartment because that was all that was available when we booked -- and it was spacious. Free wi-fi too. But the best part […] was Sara and Israel. They were great! They fix the rooms up with nice little touches like candles by the tub and nice notes at bedside. The dining is like a cross between home cooking and a 5-star restaurant. Great food, Israel (the chef) comes to personally check on everything. The bread was warm from the oven. Nice extra touches like cherries in brandy or some liquor after dinner. Our first night we got lost trying to find it so arrived late, but having no dinner, Israel went right to work to cook up a fabulous fish dinner for us. He even drove out on the road to lead us in! The location, as mentioned, was a bit difficult to find and our GPS didn't have any idea where Arbel Village was. And it is up the hill from the center of town, so that could be inconvenient for some, but for us, was perfect. Arbel Cliffs is very close by and a perfect start to the day to go there for a magnificent view of the Sea of Galilee and the Galilee valley. Sara offered a ride to the bus stop for another couple who was staying there without a car, so it is possible, even without a car. All in all, a great place to stay! Lisateave

After reading the other reviews, my girlfriend and I booked 3 nights at this hotel! It has been 3 nights in heaven! First of all, the area is beautiful and the view from our room was of the Arbel Cliffs, so we had the most breathtaking view! The hosts, Sara and Yisrael, are the kindest of people! They are so alert of you at all times and are allways […] ready to help. The food at the restaurant is some of the best I have ever had! Yisrael is a chef send from heaven! The breakfast is a 7 course meal in it self and will keep you going for most of the day. For dinner, he opens up to his love of the local produce.. Fresh products from the village turned into wonderfull dishes with love and dedication. Even though you are, more or less, guests at their own house, you get the feeling of sitting at a 3 michelin star restaurant.. The service and the food are of the highest quality! Even if you aren't staying at the hotel, please spoil yourself to a dinner here if you are in the area.. It's worth traveling for!! The room we had was on the top floor of the house, so it had the "loft" feeling to it.. The bathroom was VERY small, and I had troubles standing up by the toilet, but it had its charmes.. In one end of the room we had a large jacuzi with room enough for 2 persons.. :-) When ever I get back to Israel, this is a place I will return to! Lisateave
