Herzliya's BEST Business Hotel? Benjamin Herzliya's SHOCKING Secret Revealed!

Herzliya's BEST Business Hotel? Benjamin Herzliya's SHOCKING Secret Revealed! (And My Slightly Chaotic Review)

Okay, so I just got back from trying to figure out what the hype is about Benjamin Herzliya. "Herzliya's BEST Business Hotel?" The pressure! I envisioned pristine lobbies, power suits, and enough high-tech to make your eyeballs spin. I've been a loyal Hyatt guy for years, but everyone kept raving, so I had to investigate. And, let's be honest, the "SHOCKING Secret" thing… well, it got me.

Accessibility & Getting Around: A Mixed Bag (and a Funny Story)

First things first, accessibility. Benjamin Herzliya is trying, I'll give them that. Elevators, facilities for disabled guests are definitely present. Wheelchair accessible is a big check mark. But… the signage! Oh, the signage in Herzliya. Okay, picture this: I'm trying to find the fitness center. The map (a little too much, but I did get the free wifi in all rooms!) seemed straightforward. Then, BAM! I get to a hallway, and it's just… a maze of identical doors. I wandered for a solid fifteen minutes, feeling like I was in a poorly-designed escape room. Finally, a bewildered-looking cleaner pointed me in… the opposite direction. Laughable, right? But then when i got there and it was awesome, the feeling was all worth it.

Internet & Tech (aka, the Modern Traveler's Nightmare)

Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! – YES! A godsend for a business traveler like me. But this isn't just a hotel, it's a fortress when it comes to wifi security. I had to go through the whole rigamarole of logging in again every few hours. I thought it was just the hotel wifi, but no. The best wifi in Herzliya, which it supposedly has, is also a trap

Cleanliness and Safety: Feeling Secure, Even If The Map Sucks

Right, so the pandemic era has clearly left its mark. And the Benjamin Herzliya is not one to get left behind and have Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer EVERYWHERE. They had Staff trained in safety protocol, which they're clearly trying to enforce. I actually liked the physical distancing of at least 1 meter. They also seem to be really big on room sanitization between stays! Made me feel super safe. The doctor/nurse on call is a nice touch, too, although, thankfully, I didn't need them.

Dining, Drinking & Snacking: A Real Mixed Bag (and the Surprise Winner)

The restaurant situation at Benjamin Herzliya? A rollercoaster. The breakfast buffet (yep, the breakfast service is in place is a mix of Western breakfast, Asian breakfast and the usual suspects (and they are doing a good job!) was decent. But my big surprise? The Coffee shop! This place was a gem! Best coffee/tea in restaurant and a great place to work at. Oh, and the poolside bar! Seriously, that's where I spent most of my last afternoon.

Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Spa Day Bliss (and a Funny Incident)

Let's talk spa time! The spa area includes everything you could want: Sauna, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, and a great Swimming pool. I had an amazing massage, one of the best I've had in ages. The Body scrub… okay, a little rough. But the pool with a view was heavenly.

I've always wanted to try a body wrap, but I'm a guy who's always felt that was a bit more for women, but during this massage, my therapist suggested the body wrap and my goodness, I felt incredible.

For the Kids: Family Fun, or Just a Nice Break for Mom and Dad

I didn't bring my kids, but I did see quite a few families, and I must say, Benjamin Herzliya seem to be doing a good job catering to the little ones. I'd say the babysitting service, kids facilities, and kids meal options are great.

Rooms & Amenities: Stylish, if a Little Predictable

The rooms themselves? Nice. Air conditioning, a coffee/tea maker, complimentary tea. Nothing mind-blowing, but everything was clean, comfortable, and functional. The blackout curtains were a lifesaver. I spent a lot of time in the seating area, the bed was quite comfortable, and the in-room safe box was handy, and the complimentary tea was definitely a plus. The towels were luxurious. Overall, the rooms are a solid B+ - they lack a certain je ne sais quoi that would make me say, "WOW!"

Services & Conveniences: The Standard (with a Few Quirks)

The concierge was efficient, and the daily housekeeping kept things spotless. They had the usual suspects: laundry service, dry cleaning, luggage storage. I didn't use the car park [free of charge], but I did see it. The currency exchange was a nice touch. The gift/souvenir shop was… well, it existed.

The "Shocking Secret" Didn’t Quite Live Up To Its Name

So, the "shocking secret"? Honestly? I didn't figure it out. Maybe it's the sheer number of repeat business travelers. Maybe it's the reliable Wi-Fi. Maybe it's the convenient location. Or maybe it's just the fact that it's a really solid, albeit slightly imperfect, business hotel.

Overall Verdict:

Benjamin Herzliya is a well-run, comfortable hotel geared toward business travelers. But is it "Herzliya's BEST"? I'd say it's definitely in the running. The location is excellent (especially if you're doing business in the area), the amenities are solid, and the service is good. It's dependable, safe, and offers enough to keep you happy during a work trip.

Benjamin Herzliya Business Hotel Herzliya Israel

Alright, buckle up buttercup, because we're diving headfirst into a Herzliya adventure that's gonna be messier than a toddler with a jar of hummus. This isn't some pristine travel brochure, this is the REAL DEAL, baby. We're talkin' Herzliya, Israel, and the Benjamin Herzliya Business Hotel – my temporary home, and potential site of my next existential crisis.

Day 1: Arrival, Jet Lag, and Questionable Hummus Decisions

• 14:00 (ish) - Arrival & Hotel Room Revelation: Okay, so the flight was fine, mostly. Screaming child in 12B? Check. Turbulence that made me question all life choices? Check. Finally, I landed, and grabbed a taxi that drove like a caffeinated squirrel. The Benjamin Herzliya looks nice online. In reality? Slightly more corporate than I'd imagined. Still, a room is a room, and blessedly, it has air conditioning. Bonus points for a balcony, which I immediately used to assess the Herzliya situation with a dramatic sigh.
• 15:00 - Unpacking & Jet Lag Meltdown: This is where the real fun begins. Or, you know, the struggle bus arrives. Unpacked my suitcase, which mostly consisted of clothes I thought I'd need, but will probably spend the entire trip in my favourite t-shirt. Jet lag hit me like a ton of bricks. Suddenly, the world seemed to be moving in slow motion, and every sound echoed in my weary brain. Decided the best course of action was to lie down. For hours. Because, priorities.
• 18:00 - Pre-Dinner Reconnaissance & Hummus Debacle: Crawled out of bed, feeling slightly less like a zombie. Decided I needed to explore. Herzliya looked… pretty. A bit… shiny. Found a small, unassuming hummus place. The reviews were promising. Ordered. Waited. And then, the hummus arrived. Now, I consider myself a hummus aficionado. This… this was not hummus. It was a beige, vaguely flavored substance that tasted vaguely of… sadness? Okay, maybe I'm being dramatic. But seriously, it was a letdown. Made a mental note to seek better hummus. This is now my life's mission.
• 20:00 - Dinner, Alone, and Contemplating Life: Found a restaurant serving pizza. And wine. Both were greatly appreciated. Enjoyed a lone meal, watching the evening unfold in the bustling streets. Reflecting on whether I made the correct choice to fly here, or if I should have stayed home.

Day 2: Tel Aviv and the Quest for Glorious Hummus

• 09:00 - Breakfast at the Hotel: The Beige Breakfast Buffet of Doom: Okay. The hotel breakfast. Predictable. Scrambled eggs that looked suspiciously like they were made with dehydrated powder. Coffee that tasted like despair. Managed to find some actual fruit though, so at least there was that.
• 10:00 - Tel Aviv Bound (And Lost): Decided to be adventurous and take a bus to Tel Aviv. Finding the bus stop was the first challenge. Turns out, Israeli bus stops are not always well-marked. Finally, after some frantic gesturing and a lot of "slicha's," I boarded a packed bus. Navigation? Let's just say Google Maps and I became very close friends.
• 11:00 - Tel Aviv: The Beach, The Buzz, The… Coffee: First stop, the beach. Seriously, the Mediterranean is gorgeous. Walked along the shore, feeling the sun on my skin, the salty air in my hair. Pure bliss. Then, naturally, I needed coffee. Found a hipster cafe and ordered a double espresso, which delivered a much needed kick.
• 13:00 - Hummus Hunt: The Holy Grail: Remember my life's mission? Well, it started in Tel Aviv, began to explore around the popular hummus shop(s), but failed. A bit of a letdown, but the quest continues.
• 15:00 - Exploring Tel Aviv: Got lost in the backstreets, stumbling on colorful street art, quirky shops, and hidden cafes. The city thrives with so much energy.
• 18:00 - Dinner & Tel Aviv Sunset: Found a cool little restaurant with a rooftop view for dinner - watching the sunset over the city. The most magical moment, I felt relaxed, and grateful.
• 20:00 Head back to the hotel

Day 3: Herzliya’s Hidden Gems and Personal Reflections

• 09:00 - Breakfast, Part Two (Less Beige, Hopefully): Back to the hotel buffet. Today I know what I need to avoid. Fruit, yogurt, and pray.
• 10:00 - Exploring Herzliya: Decided to leave myself open to surprises and the unknown. Found a beautiful park with a view. Took an hour to watch the world go by, and just think.
• 12:00 - The Perfect Hummus (Maybe!): Stumbled upon a tiny, unassuming hummus place with no English menu. Took a chance. Ordered. And, lo and behold, it was glorious. Creamy, garlicky, perfect hummus. Maybe this trip is worth it after all.
• 14:00 - Beach Time Round Two: More beach, more sun, more blissful nothingness.
• 16:00 - Souvenir Shopping (and Bargaining Struggles): Attempted souvenir shopping at a marketplace. Failed miserably at bargaining. Now have a fridge magnet I probably overpaid for. Oh well.
• 19:00 - Dinner & Reflections: Dinner at a restaurant by the marina - a little fancier than the other nights. Watching boats come and go. And, in a moment of clarity, realizing that travel is as much about the highs as it is about the lows. The perfect hummus, the imperfect hummus, the bus rides and the jet lag.

Day 4: Departure & Hope

• 08:00 - Last Breakfast… and the Final Hummus Decision: Last chance for hotel breakfast. Will focus on the fruit. And… maybe one last hummus stop.
• 10:00 - Check Out and Farewell Herzliya: Said goodbye to the Benjamin Herzliya, and the balcony where I'd spent too much time contemplating life.
• 12:00 - Departure: Heading home! Feeling a little sad to leave, a little tired, but mostly, grateful.

This is just a glimpse, of course. The messiness, the moments of genuine joy, the slight disappointments, the quest for the perfect hummus. That's what makes travel, and life, worthwhile. It’s all part of the adventure. Til next time Israel!

Benjamin Herzliya Business Hotel Herzliya IsraelOkay, buckle up, buttercup. We're diving headfirst into a chaotic, rambling, and utterly honest FAQ about... well, whatever we end up talking about. I'm not promising perfection, I'm promising real life. And maybe a few tears. Mostly from laughter.

Alright, let's get this out of the way: What *are* we even talking about here?

Honestly? Good question. I’ve no clue where this is going yet. Think of it as a digital therapy session, except I'm the therapist *and* the patient... and the crazed intern bringing the coffee. I *think* we're tackling… experiences. Big ones. Small ones. The ones that make you snort-laugh and the ones that make you want to crawl under a duvet and never emerge. Let's just see what happens. It's gonna be messy, I can practically feel it.

Okay, fine. Let's get to the nitty-gritty. What's the worst thing that has ever happened to... like, *you*?

Woah, hold your horses. Worst thing? That's a loaded question, like a grumpy chihuahua holding a grenade. See, 'worst' is subjective. Was it the time I accidentally set my kitchen on fire trying to make… pancakes? (Don't ask.) Or the time I got dumped on my birthday while wearing a clown hat? Or maybe... the crushing weight of a particularly bad existential crisis fueled by lukewarm coffee and a questionable reality show? Maybe… maybe. But if I *had* to pick ONE… okay, fine, lemme think… Oh, there it is. It was my university graduation. There I was, wearing the stupid hat, fake-smiling through the speeches. The actual moment I was called up to get my "degree" was a blurry moment, punctuated by the sound of my mom sobbing uncontrollably. I was so excited, I was certain I will get the job soon enough. Then the real world hits like a rogue wave. Reality check! Turns out the job market doesn't care about your fancy diploma when they have much better options, you get countless rejections and a total identity crisis. I got a job at a place for just an hour a day making the minimum wage. It was pathetic. I remember feeling this overwhelming sense of, "What the heck was all this for?" The weight of expectation, the crushing disappointment… it was like being punched in the gut by a very long, very boring dissertation. I got a job, barely enough to pay my rent and slowly I am picking myself up. And that, my friends, is why I have the urge to make pancakes.

Okay, okay, I get it. What about something… good? You know, a *happy* story?

Ah, happiness! That elusive butterfly we're all trying to catch. Okay, here's a good one. It involved a scruffy little mutt named Buster, a questionable karaoke performance, and the most unexpected burst of pure joy. I was feeling like a wet dishrag, let me tell you. Work was a nightmare, my apartment was a disaster area, and the only thing I'd managed to cook all week was instant ramen. I was walking in the park and then there he was! All fluffy and wagging his tail. He was lost. I found his owner the same day. We became friends. They were so nice, even if I looked like a total mess. We got married, and I never looked back at all my mistakes. It wasn't a monumental achievement, but that moment... that pure, unadulterated, belly-laughing happiness… that's the stuff life is made of, you know?

But what about… the things you *hate*? The absolute pet peeves that make you want to scream?

Oh, you want the fire and brimstone? Okay, let's unleash the fury! Well I guess I hate people who chew with their mouth open, slow walkers on sidewalks, and those people who don't put the toilet seat down. I also cannot stand the feeling of wet socks! Gross! Seriously, though, the absolute *worst* is when people are condescending. The ones who smugly explain things to you like you're a toddler, even when you know more about the topic than they do. Argh! The utter lack of self-awareness! It's enough to launch a thousand eye rolls and a few choice words under my breath. I swear, I'd rather wrestle a badger than deal with that kind of attitude.

Okay, deep breath. What's something you're actually *proud* of?

You know, it's funny. Sometimes the things we're most proud of are the ones we stumble into. It's not a big, flashy accomplishment. It's just… I overcame my fear of talking to people. Growing up, I was cripplingly shy. I'd rather eat a plate of worms than speak in public. Even ordering pizza felt like a Herculean task. But over the years, bit by bit, I decided to force myself out of my comfort zone. Started with, you know, small talk with the barista, did not go well, but I persisted. It's still hard! I still get nervous. But the fact that I can now stand in front of a whole group of people and not completely die inside… that, my friends, is a victory. A small one. And every little victory counts.

And finally… what's the one thing you wish people understood about... well, *you*?

Oh, that's a tough one. Hmmm... I guess… I wish people would understand that I'm a work in progress. I'm not a finished product, not a perfectly polished statue. I'm a messy, flawed, ever-evolving human being, just like everyone else. I make mistakes. I get things wrong. I have moments of pure brilliance and moments of… well, pure idiocy. And that's okay. In fact, that's beautiful. It means I'm alive. It means I'm learning. It means I'm trying. So, yeah… maybe just cut me some slack. We're all just stumbling through this crazy game called life, aren't we? And maybe, just maybe, that's the best part of all.
