Ibex Unique Desert Inn

Located in what amounts to an Artist Colony, this property is managed by an excellent staff, and the area surrounding it has many interesting and unique offerings. Highly recommended, especially for those curious and searching for a unique view of Israel.

The property is a hidden gem with a 2 minute drive to the crater and a 8 minute drive from the Alpaca Farm. The place is clean and there’s a lovely outdoor open space with a little pool and tons of seating. Couches and tables and chairs . There is an indoor common area as well with comfy couches and blankets and games to choose from. Perfect for a fun retreat with friends . We went with our two little kids and another family friends . Our son didn’t want to leave when I told him we were returning back home! The owner, Chen, is the sweetest guy ! Highly highly recommended !! We will definitely be back.

I have looked at other reviews and some of them unfairly write down all the bad points of the hotel to which we didn't find any. I would agree that it is not a hotel more a motel or Inn. Those who do write inconsiderate reviews in my opinion had too high expectations before they arrived at the Spice Quarter where it is situated. If you are looking for a hotel with a pool and are expecting your bed sheets to be changed every day this is not the place for you. However if you are looking for a place which is unpretentious where you can chill, want to use as a base to travel to the surrounding area then I highly recommend the Ibex Hotel. We did regret we did not have a larger room albeit a comfortable double bedroom with shower room. I'm 1.92 mtr high and had no problem with the shower (one review I read on google told of a person 1.65mtr hitting their head). I will admit working the hot and cold water tap was a bit awkward. The Inn is run by a couple who did what they could to make our stay as comfortable as it could be. I also found them helpful finding local sights. They also have larger family rooms although we chose to stay with our accommodation. Breakfast was quite adequate offering eggs, bread and fresh fruit. Admittedly the back yard could have done with a clean up. But at under £100 a night it is good value and we would stay there again.

Charming hotel in the center of the Spice Quarter. Lovely decorations and good breakfast.

near to the art colony, amazing breakfast, the room was big and very comfortable, the staff is very friendly and helpful. the place was quiet and child friendly. we got a suite with 2 spaces bedroom upstairs

The Ibex is in the arty former industrial estate of Mitzpe Ramon. As long as you realise it is not in town and that there are few options for eating on Shabbat it is a comfortable and quiet choice. The owners are attentive without being at all intrusive. Breakfast is generous and beautifully presented, with home made apple and cinnamon jam that our daughter loved. The rooms are split level. The beds are upstairs and there is a kitchen and small lounge downstairs. So there’s a lot of room. Plus a table outside each room. The stairs up and down the rooms are metal so neighbours can make noise but the team is aware of that and plan to resolve it. Overall, a bit different but still clean and comfortable.
