Hotel Netanya KiKar Boutique — Hotel in Netanya

I arrived around 2am in the morning following a late flight and the man on the desk was very grumpy, maybe I had woken him up! The location of the hotel is excellent just off the main square, near the beach. I always managed to find a parking spot around the back of the hotel although that would be difficult during daylight hours. You have to put a ticket on your car between 9am and 7pm apart from Shabat and annoyingly the ticket machine was out of order so I had to climb the hill to find the nearest one. Yes, the room was small and the shower awkward but it was clean and comfortable and had tea and coffee making facilities. There was also a fridge, which was handy to keep drinks cool in for when returning to the room after a hot day's sightseeing - a fresh small bottle of water was replaced each day. It was a little noisy at night as it seems there is often something going on in the main street and also there was a constant buzz from air conditioners in the surrounding area. The breakfasts were good with fresh salads and a choice of omelette with or without cheese or fried eggs. The Shabat breakfast on Saturday was a feast! My only complaint was that, as it seems everywhere, they had 'plastic' coffee with capsules out of a machine - a piping hot pot of tea of coffee would have been much better. All in all, I would recommend staying here as this hotel offered certainly better value than those...

The hotel looks newly designed, the furnishings are modern and nice.||There is an alley behind the hotel for parking if you can get a space, with a short walk through an under-building walkway to the front door. Just make sure you are signed up with a parking app to avoid parking tickets.||Our room was tiny, there was barely enough space to walk around the bed, we couldn't open our suitcases laying down. The tiny bathroom had no air conditioning and felt the humid heat of outdoors. The shower doors folded in because the room was so small, and water got everywhere.||The room was dusty and not clean. The sheets didn't look freshly laundered, but we were too tired to do anything about it.||We arrived at 1 am, and the night manager was super nice about checking us in. On the ohter hand, the staff started calling us at 10am to make sure we were checking out. It was hard to get the jet-lagged kids up, but we dragged everyone and our luggage out with the staff yelling at us.||The location was great, in downtown and across the street from the ocean. But that didn't make up for the lack of...

We stayed two nights and chose the hotel through trip advisor.||The staff were great recognising we had flown in over night they had the room ready much earlier than normal so we could rest up. ||We had a deluxe room which is slightly larger than the normal room and we are glad we did for that extra space.||The bathroom was a wet room with a great shower only down side was the damp smell when you returned to the room after a day out. Soon passed though.||Breakfast was very good and a lot of it. Egg choice was fried or omelette (with cheese if preferred) and plenty of juices and coffee. A good start to a long day's walking.||Only down side was the roof terrace was closed. Not sure if this was temporary or longer term.||Access is tight and the ground floor F the 200kg lift is up a nattor flight of stairs which with bags is tricky to negotiate.||Wheelchair users should check first...
