About this property

Welcome to Carmel hotel מלון כרמל נתניה

The Carmel Hotel מלון כרמל נתניה offers a unique coastal stay in the heart of Netanya, Israel, with a rating of 3.7 reflecting diverse guest experiences. Located at Oved ben Ami 2, this apartment-style hotel blends private ownership with professional management, presenting a hybrid lodging option that caters to both short-term visitors and longer stays.

Guests consistently praise its prime seaside location. The panoramic views of the Mediterranean are consistently described as breathtaking and romantic, setting a serene atmosphere that invites relaxation. The sound and scent of the ocean provide an immersive coastal experience, enhancing the hotel's appeal for those seeking a genuine beachside retreat.

The accommodations come equipped with practical amenities, including kitchens in all rooms, air conditioning, and free Wi-Fi, ensuring guests enjoy both comfort and convenience.

The nearby Tamnoon Beach, just 15 minutes away on foot, and proximity to Winter Lake Park add recreational value.

Some guests highlight the unique ownership model, which has transitioned the property from a traditional hotel into a collection of privately owned apartments. This creates a distinctive dynamic, with individual units managed by a local company providing booking and support services. While this arrangement may cause occasional booking mix-ups, the attentive staff and helpful management generally compensate well.

Reflecting on the Carmel Hotel מלון כרמל נתניה, its charm lies in the seamless blend of home-like comfort and seaside hotel convenience.

The room needs remodeling and there was a mix-up on the floor we were supposed to get. The young man who accepted us was very nice and helpful. The view of the sea was breathtaking, and was well worth the mix-up.

The Carmel Hotel is not really a hotel. It used to be one, but that business went bankrupt and individual units were sold off to the public. Now, it's a mix of homes for some, and investment rentals for many. There is a local management company with an office downstairs that can help one book a room on the spot, and rooms are also available as 'vacation rentals' on various websites. Thus, your rental experience may vary by the individual owner, but the building management seems to be noticeably improving the property every time we rent a unit here. Though quality varies, we've not experienced any of the complaints others might have registered. Then again, we're not prissy and are fairly easygoing, and take communication with the owners quite seriously. Now for the description of why we like renting here: Location is close enough to Herzel street to make walking to its attractions easy (a bit less than 1 km). The beach-side promenade runs right behind the property, and one just has to turn left from the entrance for direct access. As well, plentiful and easy parking is available in front, which otherwise is a major source of stress for me in Netanya. Reports by others that the property is past it's prime are true. However, as the management is upgrading the property, things are beginning to just work in the building, including quite efficient elevators. Conveniently, there's a Kosher Steak Restaurant and a 24/7 grocery on the first floor. There's also an orthodox synagogue on the first floor, with a separate entrance, so the heathens and the holier ones don't bother each other. There is also a decent gym in the basement. There used to be an indoor swimming pool on the south side of the property, but I believe it's either getting dismantled or renovated. Can't tell which at this point. Also, the area nearby is getting many more seaside high-rise apartment buildings, so the number of close restaurants has doubled (from 1 to 2...), with more coming on a regular basis. I estimate 3-5 by end 2017. Finally, the views are great.

Apartment hotel, all rooms privately owned, great location by the sea with a nice view from The window, 7 minutes from the highway. Reasonably maintained by a managing company. Restaurant and 24/7 supermarket just outside. Good choice for 1-2 weeks.

SeaView apartments offer excellent value for price. The apartment has everything that one may need (a kettle, a microwave, a toaster-oven, an iron), maybe except an espresso machine that would be nice. The air-conditioning us old but effective. The rooms are super clean (and we stayed in four different rooms during our visits there) and the view over the sea is breath-taking and very romantic.

Great view from the room. You can see/hear amd smell the ocean. Got everything in the room you need. Helpful owner. Shop is downstairs but expensive. You can find a gym in the building, don't miss it.
