I had to really think this one through. The hotel is a boutique gem in so many ways. Across the promenade from its big sister, The Opera Herbert Hotel, the little “Herbert” offers gorgeous full oceanfront views. The rooms are tiny, luxurious and very well-appointed. I did not mind the size at all. I actually marveled at the use of space. The bedding is great. The bathroom and shower are great. Even the towels are notably higher quality than most luxury brands. So what’s the problem? Well, for me, it was the noise. This was, by far, the loudest room I have ever had with one exception when I got stuck with a room across from a truckers bar during a last-minute airport stay. The street noise is completely unbuffered. Noise-wise, there was no appreciable difference between the French balcony door being wide open or shut. The trucks, ambulances, motorcycles and voices were full volume and … I was on the highest floor. A guy just sneezed outside and I said “G!d bless you.” I kid you not. With no ability to sleep, all of the wonderful qualities of the hotel are meaningless, infuriatingly so. It is possible that this was a problem with just my room but that is unlikely. Potential guests should also know that (1) there is no elevator and it is a five-story hotel; (2) the HVAC unit is wonky. It required the management to remotely and exclusively set the unit to heat and only upon my request. Once done, I was unable to regulate the air. Despite the fact that this is unusual (though not unheard of) for Israel or anywhere else, no attempt was made to explain the situation. I would have loved this hotel but for the extreme noise. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable.
