Safed Inn

The couple who owns the hotel were great people. When you need something, they know before you do and get it for you before you even ask. I've recommended to all my Israeli friends to visit here.

I don't expect much when booking lodging in Israel largely due to my budget but Safed Inn exceeded my expectations. I selected it as my lodging due to the location and price. Yes it isn't walking distance to anything except for a small market but I knew this so it was fine. You aren't as remote as some reviews seem to make it if you have a car. In less than 45 minutes you have some stores and restaurants. There is a bus stop outside but I cannot speak for experience on the routes as I didn't take the bus at all. The people who run it are very nice people, kind, and helpful. They are the exact kind of people who you meet running b&bs, and you can tell they love what they do and they interact with guests. Ojai and Topanga in CA meets fairy tale. The room itself was bare bones but clean, had great air conditioning, had a minifridge, and the bottles of water were a nice bonus and appreciated. It was definitely more on the shabby chic side so it may not be everyone's cup up tea but for me it worked. The water pressure in the shower was good. It is a wet room style which I hate but the floor didn't get soaked thankfully. There is a kitchen available for guests to use along with a washer and dryer.I didn't use any of the amenities so I cannot really comment but know they have them available. They also have a hot tub and sauna but didn't use either (too hot!). Lots of places on the property to sit and relax and I definitely did those things. There is parking, not a lot but it's there and the spots aren't tight. Some limited street parking as well. Not many negatives. The bed for me wasn't the most comfortable as it was more like a thin pad, but I slept fine as I had long, busy days exploring. I also didn't care for whatever the scent was in the cleaning solution that the housekeeper used. Smelled like a very heavy jasmine. I only stayed a couple of nights so not worth mentioning when I was there. A small pool (even a Dough Boy) would have been nice to have in the summer but not a big deal to not have it. Would recommend and would return.

Charming and inviting place. Example of warm hospitality All details are well thought through -from the tea assortment to the robes to the flashlight, etc. , We stayed in the room with a large jacuzzy in the bathroom. It's all worked perfectly Very gratefull , Portnoy family

wonderful place, super well taken care of, the smallest details that make us feel welcome and cared for. the room has everything a traveler needs: fridge stocked with water, coffee and tea, bathrobes, comfortable bed, amazing shower and comfortable bed. the garden is beautiful and pleasant. the lady is extremely helpful. magnificent stay

Family owned and run. A very special property and the owners greet you and make you feel welcome from the first moment.

We stayed 1 night at Safed inn. The place is beautiful and the atmosphere is very homie. We used sauna, it was wonderful. Dov kindly recommended some places to see in the area, when we asked, as couldn't decide. The breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented, as mentioned by others with home made bread, jams, etc. I wish there were more places like this in Israel. A very rare gem, top hospitality by Rikki and Dov. Highly recommend to stay there if you visiting the north of Israel. Just superb. Thank you Rikki & Dov

Riki is a great host. Location is close to the old city. Parking is tight but should notbr a problem. The grounds are beautiful. But thats where the good stuff ends. Our room was decent size. Needs updated but thats ok. The bathroom is terrible. The sink is about 12" in athe corner. The shower is literally 12"x 36". So when u shower water is all over the floor. No separation on the floor between shower and bath. No electric for a hair dryer.

Rikki and Dov are amazing hosts. We feel like home with unique experience. Clean and peaceful place. The breakfast is out of this world - tasty, fresh and unique as well. I highly recommend anyone visiting the area to give this place a shot! Big thank you Rikki and Dov.

This is a fine place to stay. The rate was better than hotels in the city of Zefat but you have to survive the drive up the mountain to get there. And you have to adhere to Rikki's rules, which keep the place Covid-free. The room was very clean and comfortable and was cool despite the heat outside. Breakfasts were great and featured Rikki's homemade bread, jams and cream cheeses, and with eggs cooked to order.
