The front desk too slow ,the furniture too old ,the room is dusty all together not worth the price .
The only good thing is the Breakfast even Very good .
The property was filthy and the rooms and hallways smelled like smoke. The swimming pool area looked like a listeria breeding ground. There were homeless people squatting in the hotel. Something was wrong with the fan and it sounded like an aircraft was in my room so could not sleep.
my last night in Israel was finished watching the sunset from my balcony at Arena by the Beach. beautiful sea-front location with spacious, well furnished suite. the staff were friendly and helpful even though it was a little busy at check in. unfortunately I wasn't able to stay for the breakfast but I had a wonderful evening and a much-needed rest. thank you so much for the hospitality!

this is the review I would have written if the devastating events that are currently unfolding had not occurred. my heart is broken to see what is happening right now in Israel and my prayers are with you and your families. the love and warmth and friendliness I was shown on my trip is in stark contrast to the horror of these terror attacks.
Went with 2 friends and payed for the double couch bed. The room was dirty (blood stains on the couch, scratches on the bed,etc.). Staff was unpleasant even rude at times. Apparently they don't give any sets of spare linen and the front desk closes at 11 so me and my friend had to sleep without any pillows or blankets. Absolutely terrible experience if you want something on the beach there are plenty of better places in the area than this dump.
This place is in a nice location - across the street from the beach. Restaurants etc nearby. Staff is friendly and tried to be helpful.
But the facility is falling apart and needs a renovation, or they should get out of the business.
Our reserved suite with a sofa bed in the living area had 2 chairs instead, which could not be coupled into any sleeping arrangement. We requested a room change, but that room had a broken sofa bed with no linens and none available until the next day. It was VERY uncomfortable for my son to try to sleep.
The next day they tried to fix it, but a severe lump remained which caused him a backache the following day.
Other problems: shower head not working. No phone in the room. Construction scaffolding abounds but no visible work in progress. Room key didn't work longer than a few hours without needing to be reset.
Staff tried to be helpful but can't make up for a facility that is falling apart.
The pool was nice. But it closed at 6:00 pm - sunset was at 7:40. And it did not open untill 11:00 am which was checkout.
We arrived at 2:35 pm. Met a person at the deak who told us that check in was at 3:00 pm - which was true. She told us that our reservation was for two nights. That was incorrect- it was for one night. She barked at us to sit down as check in is at 3:00. At 3:10 we knocked on the door. She said a room is not ready and promptly left as her shift was done. Someone else came and had to start over. A room was not avaliable until 4:00 pm. No compensation was offered or given for the delay.
The breakfast was bare. The food choice was quite limited. Someone was making what seem to be omelets - but had no fillings ie cheese, mushrooms, onions etc. so he was making egg rings in iul. Everything else was premade.
They did not have regular coffee - just instant and through a machine.
The air conditioning in the room did work well. The room was quite dated. There was no service, bellhop, concierge etc.
Un horrible ce jour, des chambres dites supérieures ou il y a même pas un endroit pour poser sa valise, vous prenez une douche et vous avez de l'eau jusqu'à au pied de votre lit, ils disent vue sur la mer mais il n'y a pas de fenêtre, des ascenseurs qui bouge dans tous les sens en fait sa prière avant de monter, un petit déjeuner horrible qui se passe à la piscine, franchement je déconseille totalement cet hôtel
Experiencia traumática. Nos cobraron el triple del valor de la reserva por ser 3 huéspedes cuando la reserva era para 3 personas. Nos invitaron a cancelar la reserva y marcharnos a las 3 de la madrugada. El personal es muy desagradable y no ayuda en nada. El hotel se encuentra en un edificio en estado de semi abandono. Puertas de cristal rotas por los suelos. En la habitación las ventanas atornilladas al marco para que no se desprendan. El ruido no permite dormir en toda la noche. El salón del desayuno huele fatal, lleno de comida por el suelo y nadie la limpiaba. El garaje parece que se va a derrumbar en cualquier momento.

Das ist im Prinzio kein 4. Sterne Hotel eher ein mittelmäßiges 3. Sterne Haus. Personalö war sehr nett. Beim Buffett sollte man Beschriftungen anbringen weil man nicht weiß was es genau ist.Es gibt auch keine Bar oder Restaurant wo man eine kleinigkeit essen könnte. Das Hoztel gehört auf jedenfall restauriert.

the building is located in a great location right nect to the beach. it mix residence apt and hotel rooms. they could try harder for better cleaning the building, windows and structite. the breakfast was amazing and rich with wide variety.
Great Staff... Amazing General Manager... even the live in tenants are Amazing... there’s a sense of family and Unity which makes you feel welcomed... I’ve stayed at Grand Court in Jerusalem and great Dead Sea Hotels... but this Hotel is an Amazing find... and under 200 a night... it’s a great deal for the city life and beachfront property

No restaurant during shabbat
Central reservation said the restaurant will be open during Shabbat , it was close.
As shomer Shabbat, it was a real big issue for me. Very disappointed on that point
Leonardo suits in Bat Yam need serious improvemen!
I stayed in Leonardo Suite from September 12 trough 16th, 2019. The location is great! Lots restaurants , markets and beautiful beach! The room is good size. Cable TV with lots of options. The breakfast was mediocre, lots of food but not tasty. The lobby is very small and overall doesn’t have inviting atmosphere. The mattress and pillows are terrible! They should work on improvements since the location is great.
