One night
When we arrived, the reception man told us he doesn’t has the key to our room because the previous people didnt return it, so she gave us another room. In our new room we didn’t had towels, and the air conditioner was so so. The breakfast was very good.

The Receptionist did not bother to help. I had to insist for the receptionist to indicate the handicapped elevator that would allow me to transport my luggage to my room. Overall,a bad first impression is hard to overcome.

I feel badly writing a negative review about this hotel. We had really high hopes, but the place is run down. It seems like a hotel which used to be quite nice but now has been allowed to become dingy. Also, It looks like it is mostly apartments, or something now, not actually a hotel. We stayed in one of the "Top floor, sea view suites", which in the photos look up-scale, but our room was not. The room slept 6, but they accomplished this by filling most of the first floor with twin beds/cots. The sheets and towels were stiff and grayish. Counters/sinks/mirrors were low quality and poorly installed. The staff was not rude, but certainly not warm or friendly. We felt we were imposing on them whenever we had a question. Also, a new hotel is being built next door, so half of our lovely view was filled up with ugly construction related junk (not the fault of Hotel Blue Weiss, but not mentioned before we booked either). If we had been staying with just the kids it would have been OK but we were traveling with my Mother-in-law, who is use to nicer accommodations. We had stayed in three other hotels in Israel on this trip and they were all lovely, so this really stuck out. Here are some good things: The room really did sleep all 6 of us, so we didn't have to pay for 2-3 rooms elsewhere. The breakfast was fine. Good location. All in all, we wouldn't go back to this hotel.

Great room with an amazing balcony/view
The room was great! Very spacious!! Great balcony with an amazing view. Full of windows throughout the entire suite- loved it. The hotel is a bit outdated but our overall experience was good once we arrived to our room.

WORST HOTEL EXPERIENCE EVER!
GOT THERE AND WAS NOT PLACED ON A HIGH FLOOR ESPECIALLY AS THE INTERNET WAS OFTEN OUT. WHEN I COMPLAINED THEY HUNG UP ON ME. I HAD TO WORK IN THE LOBBY. THEY OVERCHARGED ME $270. I HAVE NOT AS YET GOT IT BACK! WHEN I COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS THEY THREATENED TO CALL THE POLICE! SOME IN THE FRONT DESK DEMONSTATE CUTOMER HATRED AND ARE LAZY- THE RUSSIAN ONE ESPECIALLY THEY HAD LITTLE PARKING AND WOKE ME UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO MOVE MY RENTED CAR! THE BREAKFAST WAS NOT THE BEST.

Fabulous location and ocean views
This is the hotel I hate to love - the location is phenomenal as are the views. Place has all the essentials (except parking) and is clean, but it has many quirks that you just laugh at eg loads of shampoo but no soap, plenty of towels but no wash clothes, clean rooms but pictures crayoned onto the walls, tables and chairs that feel like they are from Goodwill.

Nice Hotel, excellent view, quiet
Good location (10 mins by foot to city center), quiet, 300 meters away from elevator that brings you down to the very nice, clean Herzl Beach. Excellent Israeli breakfast. Clean room, more than enough new towels every day. Extra beach towels. Very friendly and helpful staff I had been at Blue Weiss the second time and will most likely go there again.

Wonderful customer service. great vaca on a budget
We ordered a simple room and requested a high floor, they gave us a room on the first floor but there was construction being done when I looked out the window, so I asked if there's any rooms higher to change to. They were very accommodating, and for a minimal fee they upgraded us to the highest floor, to a HUGE room, with a full kitchen, one and half bathrooms, 5 beds, couches, recliner, table, and the most amazing view of the beach. They offered great customer service. The staff was very nice to work with and were very helpful. Though not a 5 star or 4 star hotel, it was very good for the price and especially the location. We would definitely go back and recommend it for friends who are looking for a nice place to be on a budget.

I liked it
fairly large hotel on the beach, close to nice area for walking, shopping, eating. We tried to take a dip in the Sea but it was a bit too cold. Wish we had planned to stay a few days instead of just 1. We took 2 rooms, but it turns out that our suite was large enough for 6 people in the 2 rooms that we had. The price was very reasonable. We had to leave before breakfast so I can't say anything about how the food was at the hotel.

Great stay!
We enjoyed our stay at the Blue Weiss very much. The view from our balcony window of the Mediterranean Sea was breathtaking. The breakfast buffet was very nice, with a large selection of fresh foods. There were construction tower cranes working outside our window, but that added to the interest. The hotel is conveniently located within easy walking distance of the Mediterranean Sea for swimming, and the mall for dining.

Blue Weiss in Netanya
We were pleasantly surprised with an upgrade when we checked in. The suite we were in was spacious, clean and comfortable. The view was terrific and the hotel is easy walking distance to the Tayelet, beach, restaurantsand shops. The furnishings were ok but could be updated. The bed loft was a bonus.

I had gone during high season. The cost of the room was very high. However since they did not have many rooms I got one of the nice rooms on the 11th floor. Great ocean view. I was not happy that they did not have an iron in my room. I had to go down to a particular floor to use the iron.

Good Value for the area
Spent 5 nights here in July. I was not welcomed by the front desk and had no instructions or information about the room or area. The service staff( housekeeping, breakfast) were wonderful. Easy access to beach and very quiet. I would stay here again.

Booked on a hotel.com sale, fooled by star rating
the hotel is a dump. it is old and has been neglected for years. beds are awful, rooms are dark and dingy. beware, they are building a new hotel right behind this one. Construction an issue. and the view (only good thing about the hotel) may be obstructed. Lets hope the hotel comes down altogether. What a dump! did I mention that already?

We enjoyed our stay at Blue Weiss. The sea view was great and it is very convenient for central Netanya. The bathroom was somewhat in need of an upgrade, but it was not enough of a problem to stop us returning.

Great place to stay!
The room was huge, perfect for families. The hotel overlooked the water, breakfast was yummy and plentiful. Staff was super nice and helpful. The overall condition of the rooms was ok - the lamp didn't work, ac needed a special touch (and then worked perfectly), and the water pressure in one of the bthrms was too strong. But it was overall great, and we would def stay there again.

Great hotel
The place looks relatively new and is very clean. It is right by the beach and the main part of the city. The room was huge, nicely furnished and had a stunning view. The only two faults I have are the tiny mattress and the laundry service I made use of. I had a suit and a dressed dry cleaned overnight. Not only did that cost $50 itself, the rush charge was double the actual price. This isn't the hotel that is charging you but rather the company they use, still, that's simply unacceptable, especially if they don't tell you that beforehand.

Budget friendly apartment in the heart of the town
The property is on the boardwalk overlooking the beach. The apartment was a two bedroom flat on the top floor with amazing views of the coast, the boardwalk and the beach. Each room had Mediterranean views. The unit was clean, comfortable with a full kitchen and washer and dryer. Each of the two baths were well-appointed and new looking. It was sort of weird that the master suite bath had no toilet. Its toilet was off the kitchen just outside the master suite. There was a small deck off the living area on which to enjoy the view and have morning coffee or an afternoon drink. The building in which the unit was located seemed to be more of a time-share than a hotel. The common areas looked a bit worn and in need of maintenance, a fact shared with many of the surrounding high-rise buildings in the neighborhood. Great location near restaurants and bars along the promenade.

Nice hotel right on the beach. Beautiful view!
Not typically used by Americans. Used more by eastern Europeans. Great beach with wonderful walking and running paths. Provides a breakfast, conducive to the culture. If looking to experience more of the local people and customs, the place is ideal. If looking for a more American experience, keep looking. My family and I love experiencing local customs and other kinds of people. We enjoy local food and experiences. We will come again, if possible.

Hotel on the beach. Management, very helpful.
We booked the standard room. I guess because hotel was not full, the marketing manager of the hotel upgraded us to a one bedroom suite. Room was spacious and bathroom was clean. Couldn't ask for much more. Hotel is slightly run down but not a big deal. Everything was clean, which is more important to us that granite counter tops. TV could use clearer/more channels but watching TV was not a high priority. Beds/pillows were comfortable. Hotel is close walking distance to shops and right next to the beach. The free breakfast was really good: Eggs, hash browns (potatoes), cereal, difference cheeses, croissants, rolls, fresh fruit, veggies, hot chocolate, coffee, Israeli orange juice. Overall, great experience. Construction in the area was not a big deal. seems to be mostly over. Would definitely go again.
