What guests think

Across reviews of BBA Residence, travelers praise the beachfront setting and sea views, while repeatedly noting that the property feels old, with dated decor and worn common areas that would benefit from maintenance and renovation.

Cleanliness is inconsistent, with reports of missed housekeeping, worn linens, pests, and dirty corridors alongside mentions of tidy rooms. Service feedback is mixed, from friendly, helpful staff to impolite or unresponsive reception and occasional language barriers. Many note small or cramped bathrooms and showers, noticeable noise from streets or neighbors, and rooms that do not match photos or expected sizes. Expect a stellar location with trade-offs in upkeep, quiet, and consistency.

Hotel, needed an update, untidy- and dated. Headboard in room was falling apart, carpets worn and dirty. Room service cleaning was not 100%. Certainly not a 4 star hotel, uk 2 star at best. Reception staff- very short and unhelpful. You must pay now!! I lost my case on the flight out and they offered no assistance with toiletries etc.

I complained About the state of the carpet bitts all-over the carpet on the 3rd floor corridor.4 days before it was vacuumed. the breakfast was disgusting each day we had breakfast at about 8:30-9am. most of the dishes never re filled when asked to replenish we were ignored. one day I handed a basket of spoon's to one of the staff as there chocolate on the most of the spoons . the female staff member took it from me and put it back on the breakfast table. I then went and washed them under hot tap. The restaurant staff are not fit to work in hospitality. most other staff helpful What the hotel could do with is coffee machine in the main lobby if you are out for the evening and get dropped by a friend .you cannot invite them into the hotel for a coffee and a chat. don't mind paying for hot drink..

The hotel photos are very misleading - probably taken 20 years ago. Room was in very poor condition - from the bathroom to the windows, falling apart curtains, etc. Stairwells were dirty. Building exterior looks run down, and needs a coat of paint. Breakfast food was below average. Lesson learned… you get what you pay for. On the positive side, you can’t beat the location - for both beach access and being able to walk into town.

This is third time we have stayed at the property. It is in poor repair. Things work but the aesthetics are terrible. The lobby is unpleasant, the number was missing from the room door, the bathroom sink was cracked, etc. But the suite was comfortable and clean.

My stay at The Residence Hotel was wonderful. I booked a waterfront room and it didn’t disappoint—the view was stunning, and I loved relaxing on my private porch. Most of the front desk staff were friendly, though one person at checkout was a bit rude and didn’t speak English. The room was comfortable but could have been a little cleaner. I really appreciated the free late checkout. Families should note that there’s a restaurant behind the hotel with music at night. It didn’t bother me, but those with babies or light sleepers may notice it. Overall, an amazing stay—I’d definitely return!

I recently stayed at Hotel Residence in Netanya and I was extremely disappointed with the room I received. The pictures and descriptions provided by the hotel were completely misleading, and I feel compelled to share my experience. Upon arrival, I had high expectations based on the beautiful pictures I had seen online. Unfortunately, the reality was far from what I had anticipated. The room I was given was nothing like the advertised photos. It was smaller, outdated, and lacked the promised amenities. The discrepancy between the pictures and the actual room was undeniable. The decor was worn out, the furniture was outdated, and the cleanliness left much to be desired. The room felt cramped and uncomfortable, and it did not provide the relaxing and enjoyable environment I had been expecting. I raised my concerns with the hotel staff, hoping for a resolution or a possible room change. However, their response was unhelpful and dismissive. They seemed indifferent to my concerns, which only added to my disappointment. I believe it is necessary for hotels to accurately represent their rooms in their advertising materials. Guests should be able to trust that what they see online is what they will actually receive. This experience has left me questioning the transparency and integrity of Hotel Residence.
