The hotel is average, nothing special. Location is not very good - about 10 minutes by car from the center. Located on the beach, but no private beach next to the hotel. Kite station is just by the hotel and the guys there were quite aggresive when we tried to use their beach. After all, the price is ok, relatevely... More

We are no strangers to Eilat and have stayed in top-end hotels (Agamim) and cheaper places (Orchid) - so we really weren't sure what to expect of the newly renovated Orchid Reef. Before the renovation it was a bog-standard 3 star place catering to the budget traveller on their way to Egypt. But now it is a different story. Hotels... More

We like Eilat Very much. My wife like the beach, my sons and I like diving. The Orchid Reef Hotel has a beautiful beach, and one may find few scuba diving centers nearby. The hotel offers free Wi Fi internet connection and free gym. The free parking place is very small. It is definitely not a luxury hotel. However it... More

5 day vacation in elat, great hotel in a great location for diving, right on beach. Great diving school next door which made for a great stay. Staff very friendly. Very comfortable beds located at pool and beach. Watch moon rise over jordian mountains from the beach double bed was one of our daily treats.

Outdoors is lovely, but the rooms are hideous: old, need of urgent renevation, bathroom is moldy.

Nothing fancy about this hotel, but the attraction is its location and the fact that you can get some peace and quiet here. Everything is modest about this hotel and this is the attraction. It is near the jordanian border and away from the bussle of all the five star hotels in eilat central. Want to get away from it... More

I and my boyfriend stayed at this hotel in June 2011. The hotel is ideally located next to the coral reef, which means you don't have to go anywhere to see all the wonderful tropical fish - just walk down to the beach and enjoy! Scuba diving equipment is available for free from the swimming pool guard, however, the amount... More

Background: We were on a tour, so difficult to know price-wise. Coming from Cairo (Giza) Egypt, and staying to go on 1-day trip to Petra, Jordan, before touring all over Israel. The tour guides mentioned that the hotel looked pretty much the same as when they were students and stayed there - about 20 years ago. Food was average, service... More
