Diana Seaport Apart-Hotel

The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, and the location is handy for the train station, German Colonie and a few local shops. The rooftop is nice, with the sea port on one side and Bahai gardens on the other. Breakfast was a waste of time. Everything was cold and there was little to choose from: no vegetables, no milk, nothing sweet. It took about ten minutes to prepare and serve, yet it looked like the food had been cooked in advance and stored. There were a few slices of cheese and pastrami stacked on top of each other. I know not everyone eats kosher, but why do that? Apart from breakfast, it was okay value for the price.

We stayed overnight before departing on a cruise, and the room was just right. Haifa Center HaShmona train station is very close, and there are a decent number of places to eat nearby.

I booked a single room, but the toilet lid and seat both came off at the slightest touch, leaving nowhere to sit when I needed to. I nudged someone to fix it, and he said he had. When I returned a few hours later, it still wasn't fixed. I told the front desk I wanted a refund, and they said someone would speak to me the next day. Seven hours after checkout, nobody had contacted me. Avoid this place at all costs.

It's a simple, clean and quiet hotel in a great spot, right in downtown Haifa, with plenty of pubs and restaurants nearby. Don't expect anything fancy, but the rooms have what you need, including a kitchenette. They're small, but fine for sleeping between city outings. There's not much free parking around, though that isn't a problem at weekends.
