David Hostel

Twelve rooms above the Sea of Galilee shoreline, David Hostel on Rachel Street occupies a quiet residential lane in Tiberias's older northern quarter, a short walk from the waterfront promenade and the hot spring baths at Hamat Tiberias.

The hostel draws a mixed crowd of pilgrims, hikers, and cyclists tracing the Jesus Trail, which passes through Tiberias on its 65-kilometre arc to Nazareth. Common areas are shared and social; private rooms are compact but cleaned to a standard that explains a 9.6 rating across 65 reviews.

Tiberias sits 200 metres below sea level on the western shore of the Kinneret. Ferry crossings to Capernaum depart nearby, and the Mount of Beatitudes is a twenty-minute drive north.
