Fair not great.
The inn has a lot of potential if the owners improve comfort, service and food. Breakfast was not well organized, part self-service and part-served with only instant coffee. The room was promised with a private patio whose access was through a modified window and offered torn and dirty chairs. Would not stay here again on next visit.

Response from Shlomo on 10 Oct 2023
The hardest part of our job is to manage the expectations, mostly of people we are meeting for the first time. It becomes practically impossible when the feedback we get does not reflect their true feelings. While we cannot do anything about the access to the private patio which is clear in the pictures, most of the other issues could have been resolved with an honest answer to our inquiries about your stay. An anonymous comment like that is like a departure blow from behind. It is specially hurtful when it comes at a time when our people are fighting a war that was brought upon us due to our own lack of love for one another.

Wonderful small Inn in Tfat. Beautiful inn walking distance to all the places to see in Tfat. Nice rooms and great outdoor spaces to enjoy. Susan and the staff were wonderful and extremely helpful with suggestions of things to do in the area. Breakfast was excellent and personalized. Extra treat was a pop-up dinner that we enjoyed at the Inn.

The staff were outstanding the architecture exotic. Breakfast was phenomenal, many items from the property garden. Location was great and walkable right in the middle of the Artist Colony. Be prepared for cobbled stone streets and steps. Thank you Susan for a great stay. We will be back.

Beautiful property, very spacious and comfortable room, very nice outdoor space. Huge tub/shower, comfy robes, lots of bath amenities. Bed was very comfortable, AC worked great, zero complaints. Staff and owner were extremely nice and very nice to chat with. Breakfast was delicious, simple but very fresh and more than enough. Only bummer is only instant coffee available. I found street parking in the back pretty close - not directly behind - and there are a few sets of stairs to get up there - but its good practice for your stay since you will be going up and down hills/stairs the entire time you are walking around town!! Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay at Artists colony. The staff and people staying there were very friendly and couldn't do enough to help us and make us feel comfortable. I feel they went out of their way to be helpful and accomodating. I would definitely recommend this place and would stay again if in the area.

This is a charming hotel in a great location in the picturesque village of Safed. It is a very intimate hotel with only a handful of rooms and a small dining room for breakfast. Our room was beautiful: clean and fresh with everything we needed. The owner, Susan, welcomed us personally and all the staff we met were eager to ensure that we had everything we needed during our stay.

This is a beautiful stone building built into the hillside, convenient to the Artist shops and the old town. The room was unique, very comfortable and the courtyards were beautiful. The morning breakfast was custom-cooked and plentiful. The owner offered lots of advice for places to see and things to do. One caution: the neighborhood is very noisy on Purim!

Perfect location. Looks over to Meron and mountains from their courtyard, close to a Artist galleries, Jerusalem St, City Center and numerous shuls. Nice, spacious, clean, though simple rooms, wonderful and friendly staff, well prepared full breakfast included. It was not simply a place to stay but a home with friends. Highly recommend for your visit in Tzfat.

Don't go there for the weekend
The room was very nice and with a lovely small garden. But that is it... Would have been nice if the listing had stated that there was now service or reception on Friday/Saturday. The receptionist didn't know how to take payment so we had to pay by BiT and could not get a receipt. There was no one there at check out and no one to speak to. The TV didn't work properly

Disappointing
No one was there when we arrived 15 minutes after two hour anticipated window for arrival. It was then hard to contact anyone. We had trouble finding the place since GPS location was iffy. Only with local help could we find it. When they finally got there, people were helpful. The room way beautiful, but stayed moist and not fully comfortable. Be warned, there are many stairs to get to hotel and in town generally. The host was not on site. Breakfasts were very good. This is not a place to be anonymous.

Super hospitable home stay, but your own room.
We had the best single-night visit to this tiny hotel. Coffee available all the time. Personalized breakfast for us spread outside with a perfect view. Huge rooms and jacuzzi style tubs made for a relaxing welcome. Directions to the restaurant we chose for dinner. Highly recommend staying at this friendly female proprietor’s bed and breakfast. She has a gift of hospitality that all visitors will enjoy!

Best Inn in Israel
Suzan is just the perfect host! The place was like a dream, clean and comfortable, felt the history of the place but with modern facilities, the breakfast was perfect and more! And the room was huge for all my family, the kids were thrilled for there space. In fact we have never been in a place like this in Israel! Just perfect! We would come back for sure
