“Mercure Marina Hotel- Avoid At All Costs”

Mercure Marina Hotel

Save Review
1 of 5 stars
Toronto, Canada
Aug 19, 2007

This hotel is an unmitigated disaster. I cannot warn fellow travellers enough NOT to stay here. My family of four just returned from a 15 day tour of Israel. Our Israeli travel agent booked us in this fleabag for 2 nights. Knowing from other reviews how bad it was, I tried to change, but Tel-Aviv was so booked up in August (tons of French tourists), no hotel would accept less than a 5 night minimum.
It was even worse than expected. The whole place is very low-end. The service staff are completely unattentive. They just don't care. Our rooms were small, dark and dingy. They smelled bad and had rotting mildew on the walls. My wife was actually crying when she saw them. The air conditioner barely worked and the hallways were disgusting. From the back of the hotel, we were able to walk out onto the beach, which was pleasant, but I have nothing else positive to say about this place. AVOID like the plague.

“A memorable experience”

Mercure Marina Hotel

Jun 25, 2007

The hotel promises a memorable stay, and that's what we got. It took half an hour to check in... without only one guest waiting in line in front of us. The receptionist basically ignored us for half an hour. The service is terrible. The rooms are terrible as well. This hotel puts up very nice pictures, but ti's a classic example of trick photography. What you don't see is that the hotel is constructed entirely of concrete and is directy over a busy street. It's got the character of a parking garage. Given that the marina is surrounded by a lot of other hotels, I would recommend checking them out. The Marina is a disaster. It's dingy, it's ugly, and the service is terrible. So yeah, it's a memorable experience, but in the worst kind of way.

“Aw ful service”

Mercure Marina Hotel

Dec 9, 2006

I stayed in this Hotel in March things may have improved since then. Israel hotels are not cheap including this one. Felt like a nice UK Travelodge.

The room was fine, although nothing special. Clean, comfortable and quite.

The breakfast was ok a good selection. Certainly not like a real 4 star though.

Location was great for the beach, other hotels, taxis etc. Fair walk into town though.

Service was reall just terrible. Rude and horrible. I felt invisble at times when waiting at reception. My booking company had not sent the fax through even though I had the email. I was told to get a phone card and phone them outside. Nice of them! I would of stayed a week but because of this I moved hotels after my second night.

“Not a 4 star hotel”

Mercure Marina Hotel

Jun 15, 2006
2/2 found this review helpful

I stayed at the Marina hotel for a week. Room was decent-nothing spectacular. Service was poor. Staff was unhelpful. How this hotel got its 4 star rating, I have no idea.... Would not stay at this hotel again, nor would I recommend it.

“Nice hotel outside of tourist area”

Mercure Marina Hotel

May 14, 2005
9/10 found this review helpful

Spent 10 days in Israel as part of an educational trip, so I have no idea of the price.

Good things:
-Hotel is across the street from the beach
-There is a pool on the 7th floor (although the hours are 11-5....)
-It is in a russian-immigrant area, not a tourist area (the best comparison is like Coney Island without the stadium or the amusement park) which is a good thing since I wanted to see more than a sterile tourist area
-Tel Aviv and Jaffa is a cheap cab ride (~$5)
-There are several good restaurants-Spanish, asian, casual in the hotel. I ate at the casual place, had gnocci with a pesto cream sauce, and it was excellent
-The breakfast area is very pretty and the food was pretty good

Bad things:
-There is a bookshop with bad hours (10-6)
-The high street is lowbrow
-The mall/supermarket is a mile walk
