Quick question here for people that have sold HH Weekend certs to use at WAJ. I am in the process of selling mine and would like to know the exact booking process. Also, I am a gold member and the couple buying the certs from me wants to make sure that they both will get the free breakfast? I can't put 3 adults ( mine and the couple) names on the reservation, correct?

Book it under your name and add one of their names as an additional guest. They both should get the free breakfast.

Just checked in today to the waldorf astoria jerusalem. I am a diamond member and did not receive any vouchers for drinks. Am I missing something?



Any guest that's gold/diamond gets 2 free vouchers upon check in. It's for one drink up to 65 shekel at the bar or if more than 65 they will deduct 65 shekel from the price so can order wtvr u want

Why are you posting here instead of asking the front desk?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Front desk should have an envelope with your name on it and 2 vouchers, it could be they are out and have to get more from a different  department that gives them to  the desk agents that happens from time to time but can ask when they are getting more and go back to them to pick up.

1) He's complaining that prices are too low, so I guess he'll raise them?
2) Lol, he's building a Mikveh on the roof!

""If you want service and luxury, you have to pay for them. That's normal. In Israel, prices are half what they are in Paris. There, you pay €1,000 euro per night, and that's how it is everywhere in the world. Only in Israel do people not want to pay. It's not normal."

So is it possible that he'll raise the prices or is the demand too small?

Hmm lemme guess, they’ll have two seperate pools and entrance doors (like a lot of OOT Mikvehs) and men go in the day and women at night...I’m just excited about the regular pool and spa!

Which hotels in Paris is he talking about. No waj style hotel is €1,000 a night. Cmiiw
