Hali Country Hotel feels more like a budget motel than a traditional hotel, but it serves its purpose for a short stopover in the area.||When you first arrive off the main road, you’ll see the museum, restaurant, and reception building. It’s best not to unload your bags right away when checking in, as the rooms are located about 400 meters further down the property, closer to the sea. The route to the rooms takes you past several residential-looking buildings and a commercial property. Check-in was very quick—no passport was needed.||Room 13:|The room was a decent size, featuring two chairs, side tables, a dresser with a chair, and a basic white cupboard. The decor was very simple: baby blue walls with white wooden furniture. It was quite warm inside, with a lovely view of the mountains. However, there were no in-room coffee or tea-making facilities—these are available in a communal building with a coffee station and shared seating area.||The bed was not very comfortable—more of a limp twin setup than a proper double. There was no kettle, no shampoo, conditioner, or body lotion provided. However, a hairdryer was available. The blackout curtains were ineffective, letting in a significant amount of light at night.||Bathroom:|Surprisingly spacious, but there was a small window that looked directly toward a neighboring building, which raised some privacy concerns—though it did help with ventilation.||Breakfast:|Breakfast offered a basic selection: cold cuts (some good lamb slices and herring), several types of bread including some kosher options, and a few fruits like banana and honeydew. Coffee and juices (orange and apple) were below average. The cakes appeared factory-made and were underwhelming.||Overall:|This is a no-frills, very basic accommodation, but it’s clean, quiet, and offers beautiful views. Its location is convenient—close to Diamond Beach and the glacier lagoons—so it works well for a night’s stay if you’re focused on exploring the area rather than enjoying the amenities.
