Masada location hostel is better for Masada

This and the sister property at Masada are basic no-frills rooms. The wide-angle photos seem to make the rooms look much larger. Our room had basically two bunkbeds and an extra bed. For one night it is suitable, but not longer.

Great base for exploring the area.

It's a hostel, so don't expect first class luxuries. But it's comfortable and super-clean with amazingly helpful and friendly staff, and overall a terrific base for exploring the Dead Sea region.

Séjour nature à ein gedi. On recommende

Accueil très sympathique. Très bien placé, au calme, vue sur la mer avec balcon. On nous avait places à l'écart des groupes de jeunes bruyant. Déjeuner correct mais comme toute auberge de jeunesse. Juste à côté de la réserve naturelle. En pleine nature. Il faut une voiture pour aller à la plage. Très bon rapport qualité prix
