While we're on the topic of overpriced (see previous post), we'd like to discuss what in our humble opinion is the most overpriced hotel in Israel, the esteemed Dan Caesaria. This property boasts rates between $400 and $600 dollars per night, comparable to the Dan flagship property, the King David, Jerusalem. But the Dan Caesaria is no King David. As a reviewer on Tripadvisor notes,"This Dan hotel has seen better days... Hotel tatty and dreary. Worn, grey towels and bedding, grubby carpets, blockage in basin, and bath tap didn't work although it was repaired quickly upon request. No clock, newspapers or slippers available. Staff disinterested and bored. One computer in hall which you can pay to use." So why the markup? The pool seems lovely, the gardens well maintained, the hotel has an excellent location, good food, and an adjacent golf course, but really? Doesn't $200 per night seem more fitting? Apparently, Dan is getting away with it though. Please note: Unless otherwise indicated, IsraelGuest is simply posting its own opinion, based on TripAdvisor reviews and other indicated sources.
