Al-Hakim Boutique Hotel Old Town Nazareth

This was one of the most unique places we have ever stayed. The arched stone ceilings and ancient walls are beautifully updated and the room had every comfort expected. Avir, the hostess, offered us breakfast on the first morning. We turned her down. BIG mistake!! On the second morning we enjoyed so many regional dishes that I cannot even begin to count. She also offered us bags to pack a lunch. We walked easily from here to the Church of the Annunciation and to Mary's Well. We dined well in local restaurants. Tourism is way down in the Middle East right now. It's a wonderful opportunity to visit and receive the warmest of welcomes. Don't miss this!!!

Me and my three grown boys stayed at the Al Hakim. It was a lovely hotel, with an old-town charm. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the classic Arab breakfast was welcome and satisfying every morning. The building has been in the owner's family for generations, and the family's influence is felt. It's location is also superb -- we could easily stay there for weeks exploring Old Nazareth. And Bassam also served as our guide, through Nazareth, the Sea of Galilee, Acre/Akka, Haifa, and most importantly, Safed. Bassam researched and helped me find my father's home! His personal engagement touched our hearts, and my family holds him in the greatest esteem.

Wow! A little crazy trying to find the place. But truly a “Dimond” in the rough. It isn’t the Hilton but so much more character. We were with another couple and got the two downstairs rooms. With a great sitting area between us. Sadly we couldn’t stay for breakfast but they prepared us a lovely box breakfast to go for a fee. Parking is not on site but very close by. Would definitely stay again!

A welcoming guest house very close to the Market, Greek Orthodox Church and all the main attractions. Abir is a great host and serves a great breakfast (included) according to her own receipts. The place has 10 rooms in two floors and are very nice.

Stone arch interiors provide a sense of the ancient character of this part of the city. Our room was just off the lobby via a sitting room shared with the adjacent guest room. Our daughter joined us on the second night, so an additional bed was made ready in advance. All aspects were very comfortable. Our host Bassam was very gracious throughout our stay. My only disappointment was that breakfast was offered just one time during our 3-night stay. (I understand perhaps due to low occupancy other days.)

Charming little hotel in the old town section of Nazareth. The owner Bassam was an excellent host as was his staff. Especially helping out with a few additional supplies that i requested. Also helping with getting my luggage up and down the stairs, and some recommendations on places to see when my tours got cancelled. The room was spacious. It had a desk, fridge and a kettle, tea and coffee. The bed was fine. Shower was good. However the hot water can take some time to come through. It does get there eventually. There are also mirrors in the room including a full length one. The hotel is a short walk to Mary’s Well where there are a few restaurants and a mini mart for supplies. It is also very short walk to the markets in The Old City and The Church of Annunciation. If traveling in by bus, i suggest getting off somewhere near Mary’s Well to save you pushing luggage up steep hills. (yes i made this mistake! lol) Thanks Bassam. Appreciate your kind hospitality. And i loved the chocolate! Nice touch.
