2-Star Hotels in Southern District, Israel

We were so happy to discover the Ramon Suites Hotel. We went with our kids and two nieces and were seven people total, and we booked a Family Garden Suite plus a mini suite. The were pleasantly surprised with how spacious the suites were -- the Family Suites has a full refrigerator and microwave, sink, and is equipped with basics of plates, flatware, glasses, etc. It has a kitchen table with six chairs, two full bedrooms and a spacious common area with couches and two pullout beds. It is literally a 3 minute walk to the Ramon Crater, and several hikes that begin at that point. We loved waking up and just walking to the crater- no need to get back into the car. This same hotel chain has a newer hotel in Mitzpe Ramon, but it is not walking distance to the crater, and it is rooms, not suites, so we were happy to stay here even though the rooms are definitely old in style and wear. The staff was really friendly. We booked just days ahead and they were able to get us rooms right next to each other in the configuration that we wanted. Due to Corona the indoor pool is closed, but they still serve breakfast - it was converted to ”grab and go.” It was a well done breakfast (considering the limitations of Corona) including vegetables, omelet, cheese, cottage cheese, muffins, and a cappuccino machine where you help yourself. Shout out to the woman who staffing the kitchen when were were there (Danelle?) who was so nice and friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this simple, basic, but really friendly, convenient, well-located hotel to families, and I look forward to our family returning soon.

The ”White Hill Guesthouse” (so-named because it's across the street from the ancient ”tell” (artificial mound) of ancient Yeruham), is a three-story semi-detached house, that is set up as a guesthouse. The ground floor features a living room, a fully equipped kitchen and one double bedroom. The second floor has three more bedrooms, one with bunk beds as well as a double bed, and the third floor has about 8 more beds, The front yard is set up with lounge chairs and a barbeque, and there's a small pool in the back. We were there for 2 nights, with our family of four couples and two younger kids, so we reserved the entire place. The owner/operator, Avishai, who does not live on site, welcomed us, gave us advise on places to visit in the area, and came in the mornings to prepare breakfast. In all, it was a wonderful visit!
