The best rates Ive found have been found here, my CC wasnt charged till I got to the Hotel: http://www.israelhotels.org/hotels_all.cfm?LevelID=31
or you if not staying over Shabbos you could try and trade someone for the # of PC (Priority Club- Holiday Inn) pts needed and stay at The Crowne Plaza by Binyama HaUma

I can get the ramada for 115 anight direct at ramada.com vs. the kink you posted it is $136 a night but includes breakfast.
Was wondering if there is any way to get the better hotels that cost 300+ for >200?

its $136 if you're staying only 1 or 2 nights. Its 6% off 3-6 nights and 12% off 7+ nights
so a 7 nights stay would be $952 (7 x 136) - 114 = 838 or $119.71 with breakfast or $5 a day for breakfast over thier websites rates
a little more if theres 2 people in the room $140.71 after the disc
of cause its more if youre there less then 7 nights and depending on the dates it can be more or less $$

I have found great deals on Expedia when booking airfare+ hotel. Don't know if your tickets are already booked but you can try that. It basically gave me the hotel for free when you consider the cost of a ticket alone, but that was off season, so YMMV.
-
thanks all your help - took the ramada.com - only needed 1 night.
Everyone else - there is a AAA discount so if you have the card be sure to check off/request the discount.

2 Hotels up from The Ramada is The Park its $89 a night for a single night when The Ramada wanted $136 both are B&B. I personally stayed at The Park for 1 night eve Succoth since my Mamilla res was from Fri night onwards and I arrived in Israel on Thurs
Dont think Id want to spend a week there but a night or 2 and at the $89 rate , it was just what the Doc ordered. Yea its needs to be renovated but for the price paid it was perfect. I walked over to The Ramada for the minyans. Breakfast wasnt bad at all

Btw, what can you tell us about the Mamilla?
Is it worth it's money?

Any word on starwood getting a hotel in Jerusalem?

Btw, what can you tell us about the Mamilla?

thats a loaded question, whats worthwhile to me might not be to the next person and vice versa
Was it worth it for what I paid You bet it was. BTW no cribs allowed in the cheapest room so for you it starts at $500+
If you Honestly will pay that much per night then I will be more then happy to give you My full rundown on the place. ive done that already to a few people who ended at the end saying 'no matter good it might be they never would spend that kind of $$$", so I basically wasted my time
Before Mamilla I was at The Imperial in Vienna for 3 nights my room was well over $1000 that I was UPed into, and that wasnt 1 of the Jaw dropping Suites they have. (It was those free SPG weekend stays from the stay 2 get 1 free) It was Old school nothing modern but it was Great. Yep worth the 20k+ per night but unless it was a going to be a very Special time Id do the Marriott down teh block, the Hilton a few blocks away or LeM a couple blocks away rather then blow those amount of pts. Yet I know a # of people from FT that save their SPG pts just in order to cash in for The Imperial.
My pt is what works for me might not for you. If I could use my SPG pts for Mamilla , yes I would but that isnt gonna happen. The mgr said the owner is in the process of building some Hotels in Europe and will have their program
But feel free to ask me anything in particuliar that you would need to know
-
Any word on starwood getting a hotel in Jerusalem?
I dont think there will be 1 any time soon. Marriott has been out for over 1 yr longer then *W and Hilton has been out for over 10 yrs
bout the only play in town is The Crowne Plaza, where you can forget about any type of Upgrades etc

I was just wondering if you knew that Adolf Hitler ym"s stayed there when he gave his famous speech in Heroes Square. People should be aware of that before choosing to stay there.

What does have to do with the price of tea in China?
turns out I ended up in a number of Hotels in Europe that were either Gestapo or SS HQ. As long as they arent the HQ today I see absolutly no reason not to stay.
There are those who wouldnt still buy a German car, yet the SY community be it in Flatbush or Deal are loaded with BMWs,MBs,Audi etc etc and they are showing up in the driveways and streets in Boro Park as well these days.
-
I thinking keeping away from these places and items i.e. cars - is basic decency to the survivors, especially don't want to give my grandparents a ride in my car when it has the same symbol the ss drove up to the cc in.
If it would be the only thing/place available...
But to each their own.

I agree, but surely there is a difference between not buying a mercedes and not staying in hotels that were stayed in by nazis.

If that is the case then no Survivors should have lived in Israel where at 1 time most of the public transportation was German made and I believe most Egged buses still are
for yrs the Sheruts were all MBs
If we extend that then there are very few places a Jew can visit in the World that at 1 time or other didnt in some way attack Us as a People. Lets see for Europe that means not going to England,Spain,France,Switzerland,Austria,Germany,Italy,Greece,Turkey, I guess that also means not flying on their airlines as well, then of cause Eastern Europe and Russia, alot of South Am took in the Nazis after WWII so theyre out as well. Lets not forget Portugal. then today Norway,Sweeden, Denmark,Finland are very pro Arab I guess they are out as well. So I guess we still have Canada , Mex and Israel and the US. I think NOT

You obviously really don't get it.
Yes we are in golus but my grandfathers ###s are still clearly visible.
Would you be happy if a good friend went to a hotel in which you were treated really badly. I don't know how to dumb this down anymore.
Follow your heart.

I think that there are still plenty of people out there who won't drive German cars and will not fly Lufthansa. I am proud to sayt hat I'd never visit Germany. Especially while there are still plenty of the SOB's alive and kicking.

I know that, and what therefore its OK forthem to do what they do?
for that matter neither was I, my Fathers parents both left before WW1 and my Mothers just after WW1, that includes almost every Uncle and Aunt as well by my Father
Im 2nd Gen American

As far as Lufthansa you do know they Own Swiss,British Midland,Austrian, Belgium airlines they just let them still fly under their own names but its really all LH!
As for cars for a # of yrs MB owned Chrysler so I guess when you rented if they offered a Cry car you told them Thanks but no thanks
As for visiting Germany the Truth is there are more anti semites in Switzerland and Austria then in Germany. And most Rebbes go on their yearly vacations to the Swiss Alps from Israel

I get it, I think you dont get it
I used to do as you say when you werent even in your Mothers stomach as yet and probably your parents didnt even know the other existed
As for a friend staying at a Hotel or eating in a restaurant where I received bad service or whatever. Thats fine with me, Id probably tell them what they can expect and leave it up to them.
As I said we were expelled from many a European Country at some time or there were Pogroms we went thru. so that should mean a Yid shouldnt be living in any of those Countries or doing any Biz with them?
AH himself was Austrian not German, the Swiss were known for turning back 1000s rather then allow them in.
How is it that there are Organizied Tours of Eastern Europe and 1000s went to visit where they grew up or lived as very young kids and yrs ago those who went werent kids during WWII. There are tours to Kevurim even in Germany today
I understand that you feel it would be like slapping your Grandfather across his face if you went or purchased certain things, BTW dont buy any Bayer or Adidas products as they are German companies among many others. But that doesnt mean anyone else has to refrain from doing what you feel you need to.

whatever the argument may be there are people that would refrain from a place where Hitler stayed (before his famous speech at heroes square in Vienna). I just thought I should bring it up.

I understand why Jack feels that he shouldnt stay there and why some others feel the same way, I used to as well. But there are Frum people living in a number of German cities today with Kollels to boot today.
Now did *W own the Hotel when AH stayed there, did they offer him a free room. Did they run after his biz.
Thusly we each will make our own decissions, how come there are Frum tours that go to Eastern Europe every year and several at that? The goyim in those Countries Loved us just as much as The Germans did, thats why I know some people who wont go anywhere in Europe and others will say any place but Germany is OK.
Its not so simple and each person will do as they see fit, whats acceptable to You might not be to someone else whos Grandparents lived in Poland or Hungary they feel no one should be going there even to a Kever. Yet someone whos Grandparents came say from Belgium will say no its OK to go to Poland or Hungary

most quality products (not the little china made garbage) contains parts made in germany.
however there is one thing using it (think of egged, or a bosch washing mashine), or something that that you would pride yourself with (mercedes 500 sec, bmw 7 series).
I used to drive such a rubbish VW golf that it was almost an embarrassment to drive with it.
But to snub around with German made things, knowing that my granfather o"h was in Auschwitz from '39-'45 (!) or that my mother (who was born after the war, had close to 20 aunties and uncles before WW2, so if they would all have an average of 5 kids, she should have had about 100 first cousins), has only 1 cousin who lost her mind because of the war...
[this is only my mothers part of the family...]
You are allowed to buy and drive whatever you like, but if you don't at least understand the issue that some people have here, then you might want to check out you genealogy...
Besides china, I think almost every country has slaughtered us along the path of history.
Although germans do a lot of efforts to try to make up for it (as opposed to ukranians and poles, slovaks, and kroats, who are born rabid anti Semites) it is still germany who started it all .
concerning the taxis and buses in Israel, I've heard that they got especially good rates.

In Japan, mein kampf has been a best seller for years...
And the myth of arabs treating the jews well for centuries is obviously nonsense.
And the killing of 1M Tustsis in africa, is also because they have jewish customs (the separated from the Ethiopian jews around 700 years ago). [It will be covered by the Mishpacha-magazine soon]

Anyone have thoughts on a hotel in Jerusalem?
We may stay a few nights at the crowne plaza on PC points. It seems the hotel is no longer mehadrin.
Can anyone recommend a hotel that is mehadrin and has good rates?

Crown Plaza is a Priority Club hotel where you can use 25,000 points ($150) for a room.
They have varying levels of elite status but apparently Steve2 didn't have any luck there.
If they ever have a pointsbreaks deal there (5,000 points) dansdeals readers will be the first to know about it!
-
Correction: I was wrong in assuming that Steve2 made that response based on firsthand experience and I apologize for that assumption.
Steve2 has asked me to inform the public that he never stayed at the Crown Plaza Jerusalem but based his response on this FT thread. (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/intercontinental-hotels-priority-club-inter-continental-ambassador/397307-crowne-plaza-jerusalem-no-plat-benefits-offered.html)
He unfortunately can't answer personally as he would rather stay banned from posting on the Dansdeals forums than agree to not belittle people and follow the rules of the forum. To each their own, for the record he is the only person banned from the forum.

he was a good asset to the forum

I will miss him, I learned alot from him and unless his posts where be 'belittled' someone was removed I never remember any of his posts that was belittling anyone. Disagree with others he did, but not for no reason
And when he was wrong he apologized , if we all could be like him wed be better off
I too am more interested in obtaining and retaining Status like it seems he was. He was/is obessed with maintaining his statuses for the least amount of money and so am I.
He referred to flyer talk alot , does anyone know his handle on there I would love to be able to still learn things from him he knows his stuff down pat

The Crowne Plaza is owned by Lev Levi(wrong spelling of last name) hes the Russian Diamond guy who pwns Africa Israel
Its known when ever he made a party for his employees of the CP he held it at the Renassiance now the Ramada as he trust the hechsher he had on his own Hotel. I dont think theres a shul in the Hotel and Succoth time its taken over by the Chr*stian Embassy for those coming in for their program.
I would have a reg breakfast there but no way anything else. Nearest shul would be in the Shari Yisroel area appx 15-20 min walk. Not a place Id want to be for Shabbos or Yom Tov maybe for a couple of nights during the week but it seems there arent too many great Upgrades to be had. Id rather spend some money and be in an area that I will be happy being in rather then simply looking to get away without having to pay for it, maybe even renting an apt instead of being in a hotel
If simply getting a room for $0 is what is important to someone then theis Hotel might be an OK place to stay
-
he was a good asset to the forum
And he's welcome back at any time upon agreeing to abide by the rules of the forum.

he is totally back on the forum just under a different name
dan i cant believe you didnt figure him out

i heard of some real nice apartments in the heart of Yerushalayim (not hotel) does anybody have any info? thanks

I am also looking for a good deal on a hotel in Yerusaloim for 3 weeks in Israel? anyone have any good advice?
June 20 - July 11
Thank you.

Checking expedia.com can have very different results (beware for east jerusalem hotels).
I negotiated a tariff of $85/night at jerusalem gate/Shaarei yerushalayim Hotel. Officially for a single room, but they all have 2 beds, and includes breakfast. Expedia will tell you that the parking costs, but is free in fact.
I'd say its a little less than the ramada, but here it always includes breakfast, and its on top of "center one", meaning you just go downstairs for a choice of restaurants (with a good hechsher).

What hechsher on the breakfast?

OK my run down as I just was there to check the JG out
1- hecksher is Mahadrin Rabbanuth Jerusalem, the place was taken over for Pesach and i saw alot of Charadi eating lunch. Was told it was 5000 shek perperson for all of Pesach with 3 meals a day. 1/2 price from the Ramada
2-WiFi $15 per 24 hrs ( not 24 hrs of usage but if you start say at 10am you have till 10am the next day, I say this since as I was asking my questions someone asked why he had to pay extra when he didnt use a full 24 hrs but only a few hrs each day)
3- minyan only on Shabbos during non-Hagim times, was told theres a minyan in Center1 which is 2 mins walk or you can walk to Romema
4- old style TV, more then enough space in the room for a rollaway or crib w/o making it very tight,very small desk,2 twin beds (didnt try the mattress forgot to)no safe,liquid soap no reg bars but saw shampoo+,shower was the the type you hold in your hand or hang on the wall in the bathtub,room is small but alittle larger then where I am now, saw a sign for Mikve on 1st floor didnt ask if its for men & women
5- on the back of the key card was alist of the restaurants in Center1 that said show your key get 10% off
6- rates was told room and breakfast is $127 for 2 or $108 for 1 person not during Pesach
If your looking for the old Plaza Hotel you will DEFINITELY be disappointed. If a Red Roof Inn is ok then so will this place. Its not even a Hampton Inn. And the bathroom and room can use a paint job and renovations.
For myself and my wife Id stick to where I am now, if I was traveling with a kid Id do the JG, as its $30 less and with free WiFi more like $45 where I am now and not the JG
Both my place and the JG you get what you pay for, not costing much = you dont get alot,although both are 4*s Id say both are more like decent 3- 3 1/2 *s
parking was free I think they have an underground garage, but even he Plaza only charges 20 sheks so 0 sheks is better
The JG is not a place to stay at if you want to impress someone. was told ALL the rooms were the same size
this pretty much covers it any other questions contact the Hotel @ 02-5008500, fax-02-5002121 or email ; jerusalem-gate@jerusalem-gate.co.il website is: www.jerusalemgatehotel.com
hope Ive helped answer some of someones questions with this review, I have not stayed there but asked for and was given a key so that I was able to do a walk about in the room
OK I just looked at their website and seems they have a Special rate of $127 for at least 2 nights that comes with free parking,50% off dinner and free internet Nid week, or $112 for min of 3 nights but w/0 the goodies of th eother rate. seems you will be able to bargain with them as Super posted
-
Not sure I understand. If you can get $127 for at least 2 nights, then my deal of $85 sound much better, or I misunderstood?
My room wasn't really what you wrote below, it was huge, with a flat tv, huge balcony,....
The furniture wasn't super tasteful, but then the ramada is also not so great (a bit better yes, not flawless).

I didnt say $127 was a good deal, but that was the rate the guy at the front desk quoted me. then after I finished my post I clicked onto the JG website and saw it was offerring the $112 and $127 deals but when I clicked on the calendar I saw some dates were Xed out from those specials
My last pt was after being told WiFi was $15 a day and $127 for the room (2) here was the Hotel throwing in the WiFi for free on a 2 night mid-week min, which meant to me that a person should do what U did and hondel with the Hotel and they probably can get abetter price including some e xtras thrown in
I was also told ALL the rooms were alike, and yet on their site they mentioned an upgraded room on those special rates for free, and U just confirmed that they hav erooms other then a reg Standard room
Can I ask who did you deal with for the room and rate you got? Did you get a TA discount. Saying you got what you did and at $85 w/o providing how others may get it as well is really not a nice thing. If no one else can get it then why mention you got it?Also when were you ther as rates vary according to the different months
It would be as if I posted I had a room at the Plaza for $100 a night leaving out that a friend owns the room and charged me what the Hotel would have forwarded to him. since its a deal no one can get either I wouldnt have mentioned it or I would have explained how I got it so cheap and make it known it was a 1 shot deal not available to anyone else.

dude, so many baseless accusations....
I just went to handel as you call it, not as a travel agent, just saying I come every few weeks, and yes, when I proposed to her, that I can get her toons of people, she said that she is not interested as they are almost always full like ramada and the sorts.
What I wanted to do, is get for people who want it, a reservation in my name, and supposedly if it leaks out, say that I couldnt come because of a last minute problem or so, so I send someone else.
there were no blackout periods, but during high season, they might just be full.
In other words, Im willing to mess up potentially my own price to help out some people, and no, I dont earn money or points, or even a thank you from them, but rather the opposite.
Please think before posting.

Dude I didnt assume anything I asked
BTW Ive read many posts by you admonishing the others to spell out exactly what they want and need, eg the person who a cheap flight to TLV and after you posted about Turkish the person said they wanted only non-stop. You were 100% Right. So why here didnt You yourself spell out all the details???
Im not down on you even if you were making a few $$ on it, but just as you tell others spell it all out.
I for 1 wouldnt want to have a res in anothers name and show up or have it changed to mine or that both names are on the res to begin with. Especially when dealing with other Yidden
If you would have spelled it all out the 1st time then we wouldnt be having this give and take, and everyone can decide up front if they wish to do it in such a fashion
Neither this post or the one before was an Attack on You, I just wanted to know the details before even considering it for myself

I'm looking for a good hotel in the 150$ and less range to stay in on Shabbat (Friday May 7) It doesn't need to be right by the old city.
Anybody have good ideas or deals? (Somebody mentioned to me the Ramada)
Thanks!

Ramada is $230 , Kings is $198, Park is $120 The Park is reg Rabbanuth but is ,5 min walk from the Ramada so buy your meals at the Ramada and Daven at the Ramadas minyan. A friend just there said the room was small but Ok for 1 person , 2 can get by but thats w/o a baby or kid. He just got back and told me they let him stay till after Yom Tov was over to check-out , dont know if theyd do that for a 1 night stay, otherwise its I forgot either 11am or Noon. Jerusalem Gate showing N/A , The Ramada @ ramada.com is also showing N/A but if interested PM me and I will send you back a link to get it
there are others but I thought youd want a place with a minyan nearby.
Dan any way you can merge this thread with then other 1 in this Forum about Jerusalem hotels??
-
I made some reservation at the Crown Plaza for $30 :D
you came so close to having me as a neighbor, but as the other person posted the 5k deal is Gone :-(
Im booked at The Ramada on pts for both days of Yom Tov (Wyndham pts 25k per night) and will probably go with The Park for the other days @ $96. If Chaim is correct with free WiFi and free parking it closes the gap between $30 and $96 nicely, but the CP is probably a fancier place and larger rooms (never been inside a room)

Sorry guys, kind of skipped this thread.
How does the $30 cp/night work? Maybe it explained here and I failed to see, as I'm using a BB now.

Thank you.

I take it you didnt bother reading any of the posts in this thread especially those on the previous page #4 otherwise you wouldnt have asked the question you did, seems ChaimB and SuperFlyer answered pretty much most things on the JG
-
We wrote about the jerusalem gate hotel, and he is asking about the gold one.

My APOLOGY Levicohen
I can tell you this from a Rabbi who stayed there a few yrs ago, he never saw a room any smaller in any Hotel. This is the Hotel above Egged and used to be called the Ram At best a 2*. Do yourself a favor and dont stay there! The J Gate from the sounds of things needs a paint job etc but sounds as if the rooms are at least a decent size. when over there for Shavoth I plan to check out the J Gate for myself
Problem is it sounds as if you get 1 of the 4 rooms like Super had it would be great while if you end up with a reg room that Chaim described which seems to be most of their rooms well it would be better then the J Gold but nothing to write home about
Again my sincere apologies for mixing up these Hotels
Thanks Super for catching my MISTAKE

Thank you.
little house is on Ebin Ezra next to Reb Guzmans Yeshiva (Netzot Yisroel) a friend told me forget about it when I asked him about it last year. He described it as an apt where you get a room and share the rest
Palatin is a rinky dink 2* at best and if that
heres alink to alot of the Hotels : http://www.israelhotels.org/hotels_all.cfm?LevelID=31 trust me most of the 4*s are a 4* in someones dreams Only. In Israel like in Europe you get what you pay for.
If $$ is the problem either rent an apt from some Kollel couple heading back here if Bein Zeman or try Jerusalem Gate expecting it seems a HoJos , Grand Court Olive Tree or Moriah classic on St Georges st these 3 are close to the Meir and are pretty new and not in need of being renovated thats why they cost alot more then the JGate if you want Mehadrian. Otherwsie a clean place is the Park
-
Olive Tree and the other are boarding palestinians (officially on their ground already).
Palatin, if you want to be in city center, is the best located from all, but you might need to spend on K700* (or whichever number they are holding now....)
* insecticide...
-
Fyi- i am in crowne plaza jerusalem now. Pretty bad (for a 4-5 star hotel). Id give it 2.5-3 stars at most.
Ill write a full review when i get back. Im in the renovated rooms and a day hasnt gone by without issues. From no a/c to finding a dirty band-aid on the window shade, to our dirty towels being refolded instead of replaced, to having to request shampoo...this is no 4 star hotel, let alone 5 star. Is it worth $30? yes! is it worth $179 a night? no way!

true and they arent exactly cheap but IMO they are the very best of the 4*s and deserve to have 4*s unlike all the others, and yes last Succos I went and saw a room in each of them. just I wanted a minyan closer to me

Id think their withdrawl would be alot worse if they were paying for those type of Hotels $400+ a night add in the price of Shabbos or Yom Tov meals and charge it on the SPG Amex and they have enough pts for another free Biz tkt to TLV LoL
U got to remember they arent paying for the Biz tkt

*W never owned a Hotel anywhere in Israel
as for Yeru which Hotel do you think would be interested? I dont see any that would be willing to climb on board. nor can I understand a reason for any of them to want to, its really a loss cause for them with the amount of reses for free nights vis the amount of paid bookings that would come thru SPG
-
but that logic would have to work everywhere else as well.
-
In Jeru believe it or not, there are more yidden staying then other places.
However, I don't believe SPG is losing on free nights. Point have for sure a value to them as well.

That is not a valid reason for not joining SPG.
I spoke with a former manager at the Sheraton Jerusalem about all the free night redemptions and they were fine with them.
When the hotel was 90% occupied they were reimbursed at nearly their full rate for points redemptions.
When the hotel was not full they got much less, but still it was better than having empty rooms.
For Cash and Points they never receive much money, but those are capacity controlled, so no big deal.
Now the management fees may be too high to justify for a hotel with an already high occupancy level, but the free nights is not an issue.

OK that maybe the case with *W but not with Marriott. 1 of the main reasons the Renaissance left Marriott was due to having way too many Awrad nights coming in and very few Paid stays coming in via Marriott. So it told them they werent gaining anything by being with MR if anything they had to answer to non-owner how to run things and had to pay a bunch of fees which they felt wasnt adding anything to their bottom line
I heard the same with the Plaza that they hardly were getting any bookings off of SPG.com $$$ wise.
You got to remember theres close to a 0% of bookings due to business reasons for Yeru. Most biz bookings are for TA, thats where the $$ are made and when the Goyim will be booking via the chains website = why theres still a presence in TA for Marriott,Hilton & *W & ICH and almost everyone of those Hotels were far superior in what it offers to what the Plaza did
Unfortunately Yeru is no different then say Albany,NY just a govt town w/o any biz appeal = no *W

its the old Hyatt. Not glatt except when theres agroup staying there usually over aShabbos but then probably that group only
its up on Mt Socpus , not really walkable to any place great Atrium lobby
some Arabs do live in that area. its a couple mins drive to French Hill dont think youd find a minyan at teh Hotel unless a group is staying there
-
youre welcome. enjoy your stay
Hi Moish,
FYI:just got back from DC hotel Thanks again.
checked in on motsei sh. may 1 about 11:30pm
checked out on tue may 4 paid $150extra for 8pm check out.
i make sure to always look thru details on print out due to many mishaps and guess what
first night charge was as quoted $300 for double & $285 for single. next 2 nights says $320 for dbl & $305 for sngl when i asked rep @desk y different prices he just said price went up.
but smart me brought along print out with me email with confermation for $300 & $285 took a while but they couldnt change the rate just gave me credit for amount.
-
you came so close to having me as a neighbor, but as the other person posted the 5k deal is Gone :-(
Im booked at The Ramada on pts for both days of Yom Tov (Wyndham pts 25k per night) and will probably go with The Park for the other days @ $96. If Chaim is correct with free WiFi and free parking it closes the gap between $30 and $96 nicely, but the CP is probably a fancier place and larger rooms (never been inside a room)
Well I just checked into the Park and low & behold no flat screen TV or som eother items that ChamB mentioned. Yes theres free WiFi even in the rooms and free parking very limited. But seems the Flat screen TVs are on the 6th and 7th floors and for that you can pay an extra $12 a night. So it will be the old fashion TV for me. I looked at the rooms and they are slightly nicer, but not worth an extra $12.
I was told they were full last night so I wasnt able to get into the room when I arrived , no problem I gav ethem my Israeli cell # and they called when it was ready I stopped by The jerusalem Gate and the room was slightly bigger but I prefer The Parks location next to the Ramada
The Park cost me $90 a night and its worth apx that much, dont think Id come here if I was traveling with a wife, nor the JG either. But anything else is at least 2x the $$. After having some very nice rooms last week in Belgium , Im already missing The Plaza and Renaissance no longer being affilated with SPg and Marriott. But for $90 its a very Good deal if coming alone or if your wife is very low maintance
Id say if you are looking to score any pts with your wife then cross off both the J Gate and The Park

Ok a quick Update
now having been here for 2+ days, its not bad at all, far from being a Plaza Hotel, but the a/c stays on all night long and indeed gets very cold if you put it on the coldest setting
only liquid soap by the sink and in the bathtub (no probelm since I travel with my own soap and shampoo when I know I wont be at a top chain Hotel or 5*)
needless to say free Wifi and from all the rooms as well :-)
rooms are small but thats by any Hotel. they are plain and the only thing that needs changing is the 70s lamp shade and from the look of it is probably that old and from the 70s
For minyanim I walked over to the Ramada max 10 mins from leaving my room on the 5th floor to walking up 2 flights at the Ramada to where they have their shul (non hagim)
All in all, I most certainly will be back as $90 (ok it will be more Im sure Succos & Pesach etc) is a great deal IMO. I think if a person moves a small chair and table around they should be able to fit a crib in the room, if the hotel supplys them I dont know
But its a bare bones place, nothing fancy and you get what you paid for it, definitely worth the $ unlike so many hotels in this city that are better located for say walking to the Kotel and simply rip you off due to that
so w/o a Marriott or SPG or Hilton in this City, I can say I have found my new Home. A few yrs ago they were The Park Inn which was apart of Raddison, but like the others not any longer
-
I stayed 1 night in the ceasar hotel (300 yrds from tachana hamerkazit yerushalayim), which I booked via worldmate (bb app).
It was the only hotel I found at a decent price.
The room was old but clean. No soap/shampoo. Bathtub couldn't be filled, no lid.
Safe took an hour to be made functional.
Receptionist spoke also a bit hebrew, besides spassiba.
Hechsher is rabanut (non mehadrin) complimentary breakfast.
At 10:58 I got a phone call to get out the room within 2 mins, so I told them my reservation email says checkout at noon.
So she said: I give you less than half an hour to get out of there. I told her: you give me whatever time you wish, I go out when I'm ready.
This friendly "lady" responds to the name Anat. Her male behavior and the hot temperature at the reception reminded me of a "son of a beach"...
On a more positive note, the AC stays on also when you leave the room.
-
Forgot to add: free parking.
Speak to inesa if you want someone friendly on the phone.
If she puts you on hold and when getting back to you, you get an unpleasant answer, you know anat is around...

boy did I make a mistake I switched to the Ramada for tonight and tommorrow night and the a/c at The 3* park was a heck of alot Colder then it is over here
Im on a free stay and Wyndham rewards make a huge mistake and gave me an exec room and free bkfst.It should have been a reg room ONLY. the room mgr saw me when I was checking in and told said 'I thought once we left Marriott we were done with You' he said he should hav eknown better/ yep I was the 1st guest to use WR pts for a free stay and he told WR that under no circumstances should they confirm an exec room and breakfast as well
He told me WR was gonna CX it or at least try to but he told them Mr steve2 is a very old Guest of the Hotel so leave it this time as our gift to him.
It is avery nice room and should have been like this when they were a Renaissance. Would I pay an extra $60 per night for it, sure the day I buy a full fare FC tkt to Israel
yep The Park hotel will be my new home when in town going forward
-
further Update (Dan U got to fix this site so that a person can go and edit (modify) their post at any time!)
A friend staying at J Gate told me the food is alot less per meal then anywhere else and was more then adequate. He has a flat screen TV not too many channels just the basic Israeli ones. He has a renovated room but with no vies unless U consider the dumpster a view.He went to the front desk and asked about getting a different room and was told , if I gave it to you youd be back here in a sec begging me for your old room back, reason; it was the type I saw the other day and its worn and in ba dshape.He stayed put.
also no fridge in the room, he didnt ask if they had any he will and alos if they charge for it
he said he was more then happy with the place even thou its 3 *s at best and you have to make sure you get a Renovated room
-
About the ceasar again, the view of the room was the wall opposite.

if saving $$ is your main concern, it wont be easy. Forget the 5* so that leaves a 4* which are really 3*s
the ones I can think of with apx a 20 min walk to the Kossel are The Kings (across from The Plaza) Glatt , non-Glatt are the 3 Hotels on Kevish 1 The Olive Tree or Grand Court or Leonardo (old Novotel) although Damascas Gate is closer to these it migt pay to walk thru Jaffa Gate unless you are walking witha number of people that know the way at that

A Real Kosher Ritz Carlton
http://corporate.ritzcarlton.com/en/Press/Releases/Announce_Herzliya.htm
The latest Ritz-Carlton will be in Herzliya, Israel, located just north of Tel Aviv on the Mediterranean Sea marks a first for the luxury hotel chain, it's the first kosher Ritz-Carlton. The property features a Ritz-Carlton hotel with the top six floors dedicated to The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton. The project is being developed by Tidhar Group and Adi's Marina, and represents an investment of approximately $160 million. Architect Rani Ziss, who worked on the renovation of the Plaza in New York City designed the project and Studio Gaia, a New York-based interior design firm is creating an elegant seaside retreat.
The project overlooks the Herzliya Marina and has approximately 80 luxury vacation residences, everything from studios to large penthouses. Residences owners will have access to the hotel's five-star facilities and amenities which will include the rooftop outdoor pool, spa and fitness center. The property will be outfitted with Shabbat elevators and a fully equipped upscale kosher restaurant. The project is scheduled to be completed at the end of 2012.

thanks for the heads up, only everyone should know you cant earn any Marriott pts or credit when staying at any RC. Although you can use yur M Pts to stay at a RC it takes alot of pts.
The RCs are broken into 2 tiers; Tier 1 is 45k for 1 night and 175k for 7 nights and lessens per night over the 1st till 7 nights (so stay 7 its 25k per night less then 7 it will cost more then 25k per night)
Tier 2 is 45k 1 night up to 250k for 7 (my guess is this RC will be a Tier 2 but hopefully a T-1)
then again its not in Jerusalem
and for all the Thinkers (schemers) the Chase Marriott CC earns only 1 pt per $1 for non-Marriott purchases at least in my opinion not worth spending $45k for 1 night when that same $45k will get you so more value on a Different CC (thats 55k in miles if you used the Amex SPG)

My wife just stayed in a little hotel called little house in rehavia. Google it and you will find it. There is nothing special, but very heimish clean rooms, friendly, ac and at a very good location. Prices are also quite good. If someone does not need a big lobby, pool but wants a good cost-quality hotel go there
-
please help whats the cheapest way to go stay at 5* in jerusalem
-
have someone else pick up the tab
try www.hotels.com if they dont offer an extra discount there are most likely cheaper sites and compare it to prices on here; http://www.ddtravel-acc.com/jerhotel.htm
the real 5*s are Davids Citadel, King David,Mamilla,Inbal 2nd string Leonardo Plaza , Ramada , Regency (which is now part of the Dan chain) only the Plaza is centrally located

Hi guys,
I'm flying to Israel in December, and I'm looking for a Glatt Kosher hotel - walking distance to the Kosel for Shabbos the 24th of December.
I'm flying Continental business (pity they didn't have first ),hence I saved money on the tickets, so I'm willing to pay for the Hotel. Any suggestions? Could someone hook me up with the DC for $260 a night? The only thing I came across was the Leonardo Plaza Jerusalem for $229 if I pay in advance.
-
the dc is not a glatt kosher hotel
-
Scratch that. Any other ideas?
-
if you remind me pesach time, i could just ask the owners what the holdup is
-
Can anyone get me the leonardo plaza from 12/27 till 1/2 for cheap... Thanks between 75 and 100 dollars a night. Or any hotel in jerusalem as close to the old city as possible.
-
between 75 and a 100 is that a joke ???
-
look on traveldeal they have some decent deals
-
It is nt for me and I have been to israel once in my time so I have no clue. Sorry if I insulted anyone
-
no ones insulted its just that ur asking for a hotel that is between 200 and 300 a night for 75 $ it is also new years which will make the rates shoot up even higher
-
I wanted the Plaza from the 27-30 Jan. 3 nights. Official rates on fattal are 228 Dollars, traveldeal as well. Can I get it somewere for less, maybe a package with meals?
-
the kings is 163. and their shabbos meals are way cheaper
-
I was told that the leonardo plaza has there own point system can anybody confirm that? If yes do u have any clue what there valued at? Thanx for your help

never mind. You are correct more then 228 sorry

Here a small recap. 27-30 Dec
Ramada 140 USD/ bed only
Plaza 220 USD/ B+B shabbes meals about 60 Dollars a meal
Kings Hotel 150 USD/B+B shabbes meals about 25 Dollars a meal
Thinking about going thursday night to the Ramada (only one with indoor spa and pool) and moving shabbes to the Kings. Anyone ever stay there? What are the rooms like, I can get a deluxe for +24 Dollars. Sice food is very important ;-) how does it compare to the Plaza?
Thanks
-
food is fine there but i think youre off on the prices of meals
-
What does fine mean? Big difference to the Plaza? A good meal or average? I dont know the exact prize, but when I book friday night stay online, I can pay 150 USD for a room with Breakfast or 200 Dollars for a room with halfboard, that means incl. Dinner, so the friday night meal comes out to 25 Dollars each. How much are the meals regular, if there is no big difference then I will go to eat shabbes lunch at the plaza buffet.
-
plaza meals are in the range of $75-100. i personally prefer the food and ambience at the plaza, but the kings is not a bad option by any means.

Ok, I finally booked
Thursday night in the Ramada 167 Dollars incl. breakfast (arzeinu tours) online it was 150 without breakfast. That was the easy booking
Friday night
Now here comes a real good deal. The kings was 142 Dollars for a regular room and 159 for a deluxe room with breakfast only. I called the hotel and shabbes meals are 55 Dollars a person. But if you book online at www.prima.co.il you can select a full board option, that means dinner and lunch are incl. The deluxe rooms are only 254 Dollar for 2 people on full board.
As a prima club member (sign up online, takes 20 seconds) 5% will be deducted by check in and the room should be upgraded. So I will have a Shabbes for 2 people in a deluxe room (maybe jun. suite), all meals incl. for 241 Dollars, thats not bad.
Moze Shabbes
The plaza is owned by fattal now. I signed up a long time ago for their newsletter. They have a special offer for that moze shabbes 783 Shekels, Bed/breakfast (incl Vat) I booked that online (through special link), at the hotel they will deduct the VAT as I dont have to pay it as a tourist. It comes out to 190 Dollars, a good deal as well.
I am coming in for a weekend with my wife from Switzerland, now that easyjet started flying from BSL to TLV prices went down. I paid for our 2 tickets incl. 2 suitcases and priority boarding 165 USD a person

@ chuchem
3 hotels in the same area in 3 nights doesn't sound like a vacation to me.
-
I want to use a pool thursday night and friday morning, so thats why the Ramada
Shabbes I wanted to be close to the kosel.
I am traveling without kids, so its not a big deal to change. The moze Shabbes change is so close, will take 2 mins.
I dont think its a big shlep...

@ chuchem

i agree. deal or no deal, if youre in israel already spend your time there. not constantly packing up, moving, checking out, checking in etc.
i guarantee that from the time you start packing up motzash, check out of of the kings, either walk over shlepping your suitcases over king george and down the steps (or driving and looking for an elusive parking spot) and checking in at the plaza, it will take a lot more than 2 minutes.

I want to use a pool thursday night and friday morning, so thats why the Ramada
Shabbes I wanted to be close to the kosel.
I am traveling without kids, so its not a big deal to change. The moze Shabbes change is so close, will take 2 mins.
I dont think its a big shlep...
Plaza has a pool & is near the Kotel, but i guess its too pricey.

Hi all,
Can anyone recommend another good "Shabbos hotel" besides for Kibbutz Lavi? When I say "Shabbos hotel", I mean a hotel where one can stay for Shabbos and have mehadrin food and daven with a minyan (and not have to schlep food from Yerushalayim). Any suggestions? If possible, not too far from Jerusalem... (Dead Sea, maybe?)

Nir Etzion

Nir Etzion is unbelievable but about 2 hours north of Jerusalem....well worth the trip! Food is amazing, atmosphere is as Shabbosdik as it gets and it's sooo relaxing...

Just wondering... which room type did you stay in? I called, and they say only the "Garden Deluxe" rooms are available for the weekend I want, and I'm a bit wary of rooms that are not in the main building at any hotel. I can't seem to find any pictures online... do you happen to have any from your stay there?
Does anyone else have any opinions about this hotel? Or pictures?
-
You wont need the area around the hotel....the grounds of the hotel itself are just stunning and relaxing beyond belief! What price did they quote you? I so want to go back...
I stayed in those rooms...they were just fine nothing fancy but comfortable. Why stay in a standard hotel building which will be bustling with kids when you can stay and relax in the garden area...?
Yes, it ain't going to be a Hyatt Suite but I don't think you'll be disapointed. You'll have a fine time.

Have you been to Kibbutz Lavi? How would you compare the two? TravelDealIsrael quoted me either $339 or $359, I don't remember which, for Nir Etzion. Once we're paying that much money, we would rather have amazing accommodations, not just average-but-comfortable ones...
Do you have any pictures from your stay there?

Unfortunately, no pictures handy. Lavi is nice but I think the atmosphere is better at Nir Etzzion. I'm not sure how much nicer the main building rooms are...IDK..it's your call...on a short Shabbos there isn't much time to be spent in the room...enjoy the hotel.

Okay, new question: last time, I was looking for a "Shabbos hotel". Now I'm looking for a weekday hotel... for Sunday night of Chol Hamo'ed. Are there any hotels up north (i.e. near Teveria) that anyone can recommend that a) are nice, b) have a sukkah (and preferably mehadrin food, but if not, we can bring our own), and c) a minyan for Shacharis? Thanks!

why not kibbutz lavi?

Just to clarify, there are 2 hotels near center1. One is on top of Center 1, Jerusalem Gate. It is not anything fancy or nice. Its not a place to go on a honeymoon but it is decent.
Jerusalem Gold is closer to the tachana and I don't know anything about it. I know camps do stay there so it probably a hostile type of thing..

Shabbos milk is milk that was milked on Shabbos, usually using a gentile and automation techniques. Even though there is a Heter to milk cows on Shabbat (since the cows are in pain until they are milked), many Hechsherim are Machmir to spill the milk. Milk marked “Mehadrin”, such as Tnuva Mehadrin, Badatz Mehadrin, Badatz R’ Landau, and Eida Charedit, assure you that the milk is not Shabbos milk. On the other hand, regular Tnuva Non-Mehadrin milk may and usually will contain Shabbos milk.

I just did some fact-checking and I stand corrected. למי שנעשה בשבילו is not a problem by מעשה שבת, only איסור והיתר, even according to those who are machmir and say that it even exists by a non-religious Jew.
The issue with the milk is that this is the hashgochos way of giving an incentive for shmiras Shabbos. Rather than stand by and pretend it's okay, they say we won't give a mehadrin hechsher for something done on Shabbos. The reason WE can't say we don't care למעשה and just use any milk, is because once it's not considered mehadrin inevitably more problems arise, such as in regards to its cholov yisroel status (if it's not considered mehadrin why watch it) and IIRC, dairies that don't spill shabbos milk even their weekday milk isn't used for mehadrin runs.

Are you traveling in the summer or winter? There are tzimmerim all over northern Israel, and if your only going for 3-4 days I wouldn't recommend that you change places as things aren't that far from each other. You could stay in a tzimmer in Tzfat if you prefer to be in a city or you could find some remote tzimmer in the Golan, there's isn't one size fits all.

Don't think there's a way, but the breakfast is worth the price, imho. Though maybe kind of expensive for an extended trip.
This is a repost, but I can likely get vouchers for breakfast for 2 to the CP for around 100 shekel.

I am planning a trip up North with my family of 6 from Sunday to Tuesday before Sukkos. I am looking for a decent but reasonably priced and centrally located place to stay. Our last trip 7 years ago we stayed at the Sheraton Teveria for 3K points a night but unfortunately that party is over. I am open to all ideas such hotels, vacation rentals, Tzimmers, kibbutz ect.... It would be nice to have a place with kosher meals or at least breakfast but not mandatory.

Thank you very much! This definitely looks like a good option and the price is right. It looks like its located on the way from Teveria to Tzfas. I like the Horesh cabin with 3 levels http://amirim.com/khoresh/en .
My only concern is the 30 minute from Teveria where the restaurants are and would rather be closer.

I actually passed by the Arthur Hotel last time I was in Israel. It looks like a tiny hole in the wall place on Ben Yehuda, but didn't go inside.
I believe the Harmony hotel is more of a boutique hotel between rechov hillel and yaffo.
If you had to choose between the two I would probably go with Harmony, but can't recommend either.

Anybody stayed at the Grand Court in Jerusalem? how did you like it?
It's right near the line between East Jerusalem. We walked to the Kotel on Friday night via Damascus Gate in 25 minutes. They have a mehadrin large breakfast spread that is decent.
However, their cleaning of the rooms leaves much to be desired. The beds are (like many in Jerusalem) two twins, and not very comfortable. The shower has this weird half door which inevitably results in the whole bathroom getting wet every time you shower. Nobody in our large party figured out a way to stop it. There is a pool which gets some nice sun.
When we were there they had a bouncy castle set up in the morning by breakfast for the kids.

Just stayed at the Isrotel Princess Eilat for three nights, and had a fantastic experience. The staff were extremely pleasant, generous and helpful. They paid for a taxi from the airport since we missed the last bus, sent items up to our room whenever we requested, the view is the best in Eilat (and right near scuba diving) and the breakfast was awesome.
If you're going to Eilat, I would recommend this hotel.

It's not really in a neighborhood. It's just over from Shaarei Chesed/Rechavya. It's about 20 minutes walking from Geula/Meah Shearim. There are buses running right in front to most areas. 20/25 minutes walking to Kosel. It really depends what you want to be close to and what your alternatives are

You need to give us more information, so we can be helpful. For instance, is there anything you want to be near? What is your budget? Is mehadrin food at the hotel important to you?

Hi! I have been reading the wiki and haven't found this answer yet. What is people's recommendation? I am looking for a room for one night Aug. 10-11 either near the airport in TLV or near the museums in TLV. I am paying cash or would be willing to buy points off someone for that. Someone recommended that I stay in Kfar Chabad and said that was closer to the airport. Are there any bed and breakfasts or motels there? How far is it from the airport? What is your recommendation?
Thanks!

Sheraton Tel Aviv vs. Renaissance Tel Aviv -- any suggestions/preferences? Just for one night. 2 adults, 2 little kids (1 crib).
We ended up going with Sheraton. Hotel is fine - they upgraded us to a larger room which is really great with the 2 little kids - even though it's certainly dated and the pullout couch (which was an unexpected perk) is pretty old/dirty. The service leaves much to be desired. And after a weekend at the Waldorf, it makes the already mediocre service seem that much worse...
Also disappointing to pay 65 NIS per night for parking and no breakfast included on the award booking (breakfast is $22 for SPG members -- disappointed to pay although the breakfast is pretty great).
I'd say the 4 star ratings online are a .5 star too high.

You can always ask for adjoining rooms. We did that in the CP.

Any suggestions?

2 weeks before Pesach. Landed in tlv. Went in a clockwise circle. Tel Aviv, Netanyah, Haifa, Tzfas, Tiberias, Dead Sea, Yerushalayim. Hotels in all. Restaurants in most places.
Where did you stay in Tiberius?

Any suggestions?
Search around and see what the prices are running and what your budget is.
Many ppl stay on King George street.
The Olive Tree and Grand Court hotels are close to the old city and usually has cheap'ish rates, but it's not in the 'touristy' area.
You may be best off w/ a AirBnb since you're with kids.

Any info on 1)Dan Panorma 2) Sheraton Leanardo plaza 3) Inbal- slightly out of budget as well- I hear its nice 4) crowne plaza- the price is scaring me 5) whats the deal with the prima hotels- seems very heimish. Any info would be appreciated, accomodations/facilities are important, food is secondary. thanx

Highly recommend opening a Citi Hilton card so you can spend Shabbos at the Waldorf. Otherwise, Dan Panorama is fine/clean. Rooms are kind of small. We just stayed at the Inbal -- had a less-than-great stay for the price, but rooms are good size, and they're pretty good about upgrades. As of early July, they were doing construction so lots of noise during the day, which may be helpful when asking for an upgrade.

Trying to put together a last minute trip for my parents next week in herziliya. Are there any mehadrin restaurants minyanim sepereate beaches?
There is a mehadrin restaurant in the marina called cafe cafe(dairy)-you can also send them down abt 15-20 minutes to the namal Tel Aviv where you have Lechem Basar (meat-Machpud) and a cafe cafe (Dairy-chasam sofer petach tikva).
There is a separate beach called chof mehadrin (sun, tue, thu-women;mon, wed, fri-men)
There is a small chabad shul in the Lagoona building (also located in the Marina abt 3 minute walk from the Ritz)-the concierge at the Ritz should know minyan times;There is also a chabad house located at :
215 Wingate st; Herzliya Pituach
and the phone number of the Rabbi is: 0528697837 . There is also an ashkenaz shul, but I do not remember the details off hand.

Going to Israel for Pesach and have been searching regularly for a hotel in Tiberias for chol ha moed. My problem has been to find a hotel that would allow me to book a 1 night stay (most of the nicer hotels require a minimum of 2 nights). Not sure how or why but last night the Leonardo Tiberias started to come up at $99 per night on Priceline and Agoda only.
That's an unheard of rate for chol ha moed. I was also able to book one night -- again, unheard of at that rate and at a major chain hotel. I did a sample search and you can stay all of chol hamoed for $99 per night. No breakfast, but you'll see on the attached print screen that the breakfast rate is $170 more per night!

Our family of 4 is looking to spend three nights during chol hamoed Sukkot, not Shabbat, in Jerusalem.
I have booked Crowne Plaza, 2 rooms, for 20k IHG per room per night, so total 120k IHG, bought at $0.00575, so total cost $690.
I just found via the Chase UR website the following "boutique/apartment":https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g293983-d7306807-Reviews-or30-Check_In_Jerusalem-Jerusalem_Jerusalem_District.html#REVIEWS
This place, Check In Jerusalem (aka 37 Yafo), would cost $215/night cash or 21500 UR/night, total 64k UR.
This is sort of an apples/oranges comparison. The location of 37 Yafo, near Kikkar Tzion, is infinitely better. It's a different kind of lodging -- more like AirBnB than a hotel -- and I normally would prefer hotel. But given the mixed (at best) reviews of the Crowne Plaza, I'm thinking it's worth the additional cost to stay at Yafo.
Would welcome everyone's opinions. Alternative suggestions also welcome! Thanks in advance.

seems not worth it, doesnt look like any better shape than CP, u wont get 4 beds like u do at CP (and that couch looks crappy), plus there is a pool/health club for use at CP, and there will probably be a sukkah u can use too. If you are renting a car it would be a no brainer to stay at cp. Most importantly, you already bought the IHG points, and its rare to get the value u would get from CP out of it so those may end up wasted.

I am booking a free room on points. If I have the business SPG card do I get upgraded to Club level room or do I just get the lounge?
This is besides any upgrade they might give me as a gold member.

Any recommendations for a reasonably priced hotel in Jerusalem (central, not outskirts) for two people, two nights 9/7&9/8. No need for super luxury (as noted, reasonably priced ;). We will also have a car and need to park it somewhere....
Thank you!

Don't know what you consider reasonable.
The Plaza is reasonably priced these days and has a parking lot.
You may consider the Prima hotels to be more reasonable. They don't have parking however.
Checkout the Dan Panorama. Free parking too.

Sorry, I had posted this in the wrong thread in one of the other forums -- meant to put it here:
Just throwing it out there that Crowne Plaza Jerusalem has super-low rates for tomorrow night, direct through IHG.
$85 (room only).
Another hot tip -- the Junior Suite is available through the local Israeli IHG chain Hebrew website (http://www.h-i.co.il (http://www.h-i.co.il)) for $286 (1101 ILS) with breakfast for 2 Adults, 1 Child (price includes Israeli VAT).
On the IHG website, you can't even select that room if you add on a kid. And, it's currently going for $285 WITHOUT breakfast and WITHOUT 17% Israeli VAT.

So it's between a nagging feeling in your head or a nagging feeling in your pocket.
Sounds like a typical conundrum.
Figured out which is nagging is more legitimate. There you'll have your answer.

I am currently at Leonardo Plaza. I wouldn't say it is bad at all. For sure it is not the Waldorf. Both in terms of hard and soft product, it is average to above average. The breakfast spread is very good. Service there excellent. Again, not the sumptuous WA, but more than adequate. The room is a little dated and needs some maintenance. I have a balcony which is nice -- could imagine being great in better weather. I can't compare to the nonbalcony rooms in terms of space. Depends how much time you plan on sitting out on mirpeset. Seems kind of steep to me to pay >10% more for it.

They do have a Shabbos elevator, a shul on premises and have nice, dairy food out for breakfast and light dinner. They'll give you grape juice to make kiddish at breakfast too. We didn't go Friday night to the lounge but every other night it was enough for dinner. We actually called before candle lighting and ordered room service for Friday night to have a nice meat meal with our family and not have to go to their expensive buffet.

My hilton diamond status expires in march and i will go back to gold. I plan to go to the tel aviv hilton and the woldolf in Jerusalem. Which should i do as a diamond and which can i wait and go after gold? What will i miss out on each by being gold instead of diamond. Thank you

If you are only gold then at the Hilton you will only get access to the executive lounge if they upgrade you to a club level room whereas diamonds always get access. At the WA you will get breakfast and an upgrade as either gold or diamond so I'd go to the Hilton as a Diamond and the WA as a gold although others might have a different view.

Has anyone checked into the waldolf jerusalem motzei shabbat? Is it crazy with people checking out?
Do I have a better or worse chance of getting a good diamond upgrade on saturday night compared to other nights since so many people are checking out when we would be checking in?
I'd put this question in the WA Jerusalem master thread and should get lots of good responses. I was there over Shabbos but since we weren't checking out then, I can't remember.

I'm looking to book a hotel in Israel, going BH from June 28 to July 10.
I am going with wife and kids, they are 5, 3 and 1 yr old.
We are looking to sleep the whole time in Tel aviv and take day trips.
What hotel do you recommend?
I have SPG points and Amex BP.
I would love to go somewhere with breakfast included, and somewhere fun with kids.
I was leaning towards Sheraton but they are being very strict with not having more than 3 ppl in a room, or Hilton bc we have some family going there so may be easier to figure out how to stay all in one room, but its very expensive
Please let me know your thoughts.

Are you Hilton Gold or Diamond? The Hilton TA also won't technically allow 5 per room but they did upgrade me to a Studio room that fit a crib for my littlest and had a pullout couch. You guys would fit there and they confirmed that upgrade for me ahead. I'm going back the weekend before Pesach and can let you know if I get the same upgrade and it's pretty standard.

just a warning, the tripadvisor rating for that seems to have been way inflated by sock puppets. pretty clear. stayed there years ago one night to watch a playoff game and was a decent room for like $95 to fit 8 guys into...

Sheraton TA or Ritz Herzliya
Using starwood points (16k vs 16.6k), so cost is basically equal.

Yeah for the same points, no question the Ritz unless you are trying to save every penny and then the lounge with free food and drinks at the Sheraton might be a factor.

-
Did you call the Hilton Tel Aviv or Hilton US customer service to get the upgrade?
No I didn't call but I always put in the notes that I'd appreciate the best possible Diamond suite upgrade and I think I specifically asked for a corner suite and that is what they gave me this time! I was only on the 4th floor but considering they were almost completely booked I was super happy. Ask for that corner suite as it is really two connecting rooms (with two doors and bathrooms) but instead of a bed in the second room it has a pullout couch.

I'm pretty sure from friends they only give Lounge access, not access to the normal breakfast buffet (but I could be wrong so chime in here guys). Hilton TA is the same except since my kids are too young to go in the lounge they always give us the option of breakfast in the restaurant too, but I always have to remind them about it and then they make a note in our booking.

If you want a full package, it seems like people get better deals through travel agents. There are quite a few on the forums and also I've seen people that used them to get discounted packages for Chagim.

I love the WA breakfast but the lounge access is amazing! You get a proper breakfast with hot foods, unlimited drinks all day and could make a full dairy dinner with many hot dishes from their evening food too.

Vista is just the name for the top floors of the Hilton Tel Aviv.
I stayed there a couple of times, it's basically the same rooms but you get access to the Vista lounge on top floor, which is significantly better than the executive lounge, with better sitting, food etc.
IMHO not worth the money vs regular room, unless you're planning on spending plenty of time in the lounge. I know people who host all their business meetings there, in which case it makes sense

Also - If anyone knows of a nice 1 or 2 B/R apartment in Jeru walking distance to Machane Yehudah, Old City, and Ben Yehudah, please let me know or PM me ($100-$125/night).

You can check how many points and availability on the spg site, it is a nice hotel with a good location, I never stayed there but was in the lobby , I always stayed at the Marriott right on the beach, nice lounge and perfect beach location, you can use SPG points to stay at either the Sheraton or Marriott, Intercontinental ? no first hand experience.

Renaissance Tel Aviv Hotel,121 Hayarkon street Tel Aviv, 63453 Israel, 35k points when available, each spg point will get you 3 marriott points, so a little less than 12000 spg points.I see a few days available with points in October, and every day is open in November and December.

I also booked Prima Palace with UR and was charged tax.
IIRC it was about 14% (the new UR website is not showing the payment breakdown right now)
I will contact Chase to clarify and report back.
Aside from the Israeli 17% VAT that tourists are exempt from, is there some American tax when you book from the US?
Is it common practice for Chase UR (or anyone else) to charge that at the time of booking?

Just spent 45 minutes on the phone with them, and they couldn't find an itemized breakdown of the charges. ::)

Update:
The hotel refuses to provide any information, and refers me to the booking site =Chase.
Chase has yet to email me the breakdown.
Meanwhile, I remembered that as part of my paranoia I took screenshots when placing the order on Chase ;D
Looks like they charged me about 14.5% for "Taxes & Fees".
Since It cant be the Israeli 17% VAT (which I shouldn't pay as a tourist), does anybody know what this is, and if it's legit?

Stayed last night at the Ramada Hadera and I was super impressed. I was upgraded to a full suite overlooking the Ocean (I am Diamond). Breakfast and activities for the kids (Chanuka) was awesome and everyone enjoyed it! There is also a "touching farm" around 20 minutes from the hotel which was a great option for the kids prior to arriving. For food I went to Netanya (around 20 minutes away).

So I booked 2 rooms both with points one day in CP dead sea and the other day Renaissance in TV.
In one room will be me, DW and infant and the other room Israeli couple(family).
1. Any chance they will try and assess a VAT tax on the Israeli couple's room?
2. In Israel I are they makpid on bringing in more than 2-3 people in a room? do they actively look for that if lets say the Israeli couple want to bring their 2-3 minor children?

also are we entitled to free breakfast we have marriot gold status

I've got a similar question. Can you reserve a room just naming the two adults and bring along 3 children which will stay int he same room? Will they allow? In US they mostly don't care. I understand that if breakfast is included it can throw things off, but what about where not. Booking two rooms when we really don't need it and can make do with two bed is overkill as our kids are all small and we don't even want a second room and don't need the suites...
-
I'm pretty sure from friends they only give Lounge access, not access to the normal breakfast buffet (but I could be wrong so chime in here guys). Hilton TA is the same except since my kids are too young to go in the lounge they always give us the option of breakfast in the restaurant too, but I always have to remind them about it and then they make a note in our booking.
\so are you saying no free breakfast for gold? or that there is free breakfast in the lounge for adults, and they will accomodate the kids with free breakfast in the restaurant? Is the restaurant breakfast a buffet?

I think that if you are paying for a room at the WAJ, the AARP discount gives you the best rate. Also available at Hilton and affiliates worldwide. No age limit for AARP membership; $16 annual fee.

I booked a trip to Israel for this summer at the Sheraton Beach and Elma Arts. I have SPG gold status and the SPG rep over the phone told me only 3 to a room allowed at the Sheraton Beach and 2 to a room at Elma Arts. My wife and I are traveling with our two children (3.5 and 5 month old). It seems absurd to me to have to order a second room for children at that age. Has anyone recently stayed at either hotel and had any issues staying with young children and going above the 2 or 3 to a room?

At those ages, it should be fine assuming the toddler will sleep with you and then I'm sure you can always order a crib...but don't count on a rollaway AND a crib...

WOW
The preservation and incorporation of those historical elements changed the design elements of the property. “When we were originally thinking about doing it as a W, we had a plan for the Living Room, which was going to be the arrival area of the hotel, which is a bar and a highly activated space in a W,” he said. “The space where the Living Room was to originally be, we uncovered a piece of the original wall of Jaffa—a 10-15-ft.-long, 8-ft.-high portion of the wall. It is now a feature of the Living Room of the Luxury Collection hotel.”
He continued, “As we got into it, what we found was that there was this extraordinary cloister in the middle that has been restored to look like the original cloister. Legally, protection-wise, we could have changed that space, but architecturally, it is too precious a space to not honor, so the cloister in the center has become a real focal point of the hotel. Then, there is an original chapel that was earmarked to be a nightclub. When we started work on this chapel, we uncovered original stained-glass windows and a hand-painted ceiling. You can convert it into a great destination experience, but it doesn’t lend itself to the kind of future-forward, modern approach that we take with W. It wouldn’t do this building and location justice.”

Ramada Netanya is an all suites hotel as well iinm. Shouldn’t be too expensive.

It's not such a cheap cash option. Though if it's available on points it's pretty decent.

Which Israeli hotels (if any) allow check out after shabbos is over without paying for Motzei Shabbos, especially in the summer when shabbos ends so late? What about if I'm only booking for 1 night (Friday night)? Any experience with particular hotels? Thanks.

AFAIK most hotels allow check out moitse shabbos and most hotels will make you pay a few bucks more for Friday night

Last time I looked into it I think Herods was the nicest. crowne plaza could be booked with points but not necessarily worth it.

Hope I'm not getting off topic, but would booking with UR give you status in any hotel? (I've booked twice with UR in Hilton Vienna, and in Sheraton Grand Krakow and they didn't honor. They said it has to be booked with them in order to receive the benefits).

Prima Park vs. Hotel Yehuda or Crowne Plaza Jerusalem

which hotel would you pick?
anyone ever stay at any of these?

CP is probably the most convenient location

You're right on both counts. No idea where Prima Park is

I think Crown Plaza is the only hotel by the dead sea bookable with points, it is usually hard to find vacancy when booking with points because of the demand, no other point options.
-
You're right on both counts. No idea where Prima Park is
prima park is basically a recently updated 3 star (think less funky aloft or four points) next to Jerusalem Gardens hotel (formerly knesset towers)/ramada, right by center 1 and the tachana merkazit.

You may want to consider the Sephardic house hotel. It’s in the old city which is where you want to be & they were having a promo last week $130 for any weeknight - I think it’s still going on.

I really hope the restaurant has even basic rabbanut, one of the beautiful pictures for the Italian restaurant looks like it has lobster or other shellfish. I actually try not to get into all the kashrut arguments on here but I’d be sad if a new chain hotel served mamash treif.

+1 -- I've emailed the hotel to find out if they will be fully kosher or even if one of the restaurants will be kosher. I have to think that their breakfast restaurant would be kosher. But, as you noted some of the pics and descriptions suggest the whole place could be treif. I'll post when I hear back.

The only hotel that it's worth it to use at IMO is the IC Tel Aviv, otherwise the regular room rates or points rates are too cheap for it to be worthwhile.
If that doesn't work for you then you should consider selling it.

Re Ramon Inn, Isrotel hotel in Mitzpe Ramon
I've stayed there for a few nights.
It's quite nice, but definitely takes second place to Bereshit (which is much more epensive). Note that it was orginally designed as an apartment block, which has advantages and disadvantages;
There are 4 floors , with no elevetors.
There are many different types of rooms, some of which are great for families - up to 7 persons. there are very reasonable rates for these 3 room suites.
Public rooms are basic, but pleasant - and staff are good.
Food (if you eat rabanut) was very good - both breakfast and (especially) shabbat meals.
Note that hotel is close to the center of town. There are plenty of minyanim (shabbat and weekday) within a few minutes walk, including the (hesder) yeshiva. There are also lots of activities to do in the area.

This is a repost of a question I posted on the "Marriott/SPG Merger Thread" but no one responded so I'm also posting here. My issue seems like a merger/IT issue but maybe you have info that it's on purpose. The Elma Arts Hotel comes up on Marriott and Design Hotels websites but always show no availability.
On the direct hotel website they show rooms and you can book them. But that website doesn't reference Marriott at all or let me login to link it to my rewards number.
https://www.elma-hotel.com/
I'd prefer to use points for a room but I'd even be willing to possibly book a paid room if I at least earned points, status, etc. Has anybody encountered this kind of thing either here? Are they separating from the chain or getting around Marriott rules?

Thanks! That's what I thought but just wanted to double check. Just booked for $276 a night for next Purim (yes, I know I'm a nut but it never hurts to book a refundable hotel, it has a $25 cancellation fee but I'm willing to chance that for this rate). :)
Also, just FYI, I found this rate on Hotels.com (went there because I had some free nights to burn). The Orient site itself is showing no rooms so if anyone else wants, they have on Hotels.com

Right. But as of a few months ago I was told that the hashgacha was taken over by Talmidim associated with the local yeshiva so you probably can find something to eat if you talk to the mashgiach

Just used anniversary night there a couple weeks ago. Hotel was great, decent service, cool design everything seemed new, rooms were on the small side, they gave us a crib for our baby and it took up most of the walking space in the room. There is a beautiful pool on the roof which we spent a couple hours at very few people there in late afternoon. Theres a business lounge open to all guests with free coffee and beer on tap! The hotel is a 15 min walk from the beach/Marina where there’s a Lechem Basar with machpud hechsher, there’s also a cafe cafe there with a good hecsher.

Hotel was great, decent service, cool design everything seemed new, rooms were on the small side, they gave us a crib for our baby and it took up most of the walking space in the room. There is a beautiful pool on the roof which we spent a couple hours at very few people there in late afternoon. Theres a business lounge open to all guests with free coffee and beer on tap! The hotel is a 15 min walk from the beach/Marina where there’s a Lechem Basar with machpud hechsher, there’s also a cafe cafe there with a good hecsher.
Do they have free breakfast? Is it Kosher?
-
Breakfast is not free or kosher, however they have small cereal boxes and yogurts which are kosher and they let me take for free.

all the hotels there make you stay for 2 nights. any half decent ones that wont make you reserve for 2 nights in the summer months?
-
seems not worth it, doesnt look like any better shape than CP, u wont get 4 beds like u do at CP (and that couch looks crappy), plus there is a pool/health club for use at CP, and there will probably be a sukkah u can use too. If you are renting a car it would be a no brainer to stay at cp. Most importantly, you already bought the IHG points, and its rare to get the value u would get from CP out of it so those may end up wasted.
Found this older post, can someone or @shiframeir describe how you get four beds at the CP?
-

sorry, look back at the post, the option was 2 rooms at the cp or that small apt with one bed and a couch. 2 beds in each room at cp.

Are the crowne plazas in Eilat and Jerusalem still going through renovations? Have anyone been to either recently?

Jslem website says lobby opening today and construction continuing for few months. TripAdvisor reviews are pretty negative due to construction, would be good to hear from someone here.

I'm in the Crowne Plaza Eilat now. Lobby construction looks finished (lobby looks pretty good). My room is in the non-refurbished section of the hotel and my upgraded "suite" is worse than a Motel 6. So there is definitely more construction to be done. The hotel is supposedly 90% full so no chance for a room in the new section, even with Platinum Elite status. I'll let you know if I hear any construction during the day.

Anyone staying in the Citadel this Shabbos?
I need a meal and they're not taking outside guests.

The 2nd morning of our stay we heard some construction going on near our room at around 9am. The first morning was quiet until we left around 10:45.

Which hotels in Jerusalem have Glatt-Kosher meals for Shabbos and/or Holidays?

Prima Palace badatz Aguda; Ramada OU. King Solomon, Kings, rabanut mehadrin. Former Plaza is that plus. Citadel and Inbal you can check with mashgiach what the story is on any given week. Those are some but please check with the hotels/mashgiach to ensure this is currently accurate.

Inbal is never Glatt and Citadel is only on Yot.
-
Not sure why you say Inbal is never glatt. Maybe since they redid the restaurant that is the case. But certainly in the past they have had only glatt for Shabbos.

Not in this century as far as I know.

That is definitely incorrect from multiple discussions with the Mahgiach over many years this century but if the mashgiach told you that this is now always the case, fine.

I went to Tel Aviv to eat but there are numerous high end kosher places. Plus there is a groo (Israels Groupon) for לחם ובשר https://www.groo.co.il/deal/lechem-basar-restaurant-hrzelia/1024477/https://www.groo.co.il/deal/lechem-basar-restaurant-hrzelia/1024477/. I have heard good things about a fish restaurant on the beach as well.

For the Orient, Inbal & Citadel. Standard talk to the mashgiach eitza food wise?
-
Inbal and Citadel will probably be a big difference between milk and meat kitchens. Orient wasn't into mehadrin last I heard but please update.
-
Inbal and Citadel will probably be a big difference between milk and meat kitchens.
Can you expand on this?

There is a much greater chance that the mashgiach will tell you that they are currently employing mehadrin standards (as self defined) in the milk kitchen than in the meat kitchen.

Not sure if this is right board, but anyone have any experience booking an apartment rental in Yerushalyim using Chase points through Chase?

I personally think WAJ is best. In addition to the huge buffet, can also get a ton of stuff (eggs, waffles, French toast, etc) cooked to order, perfect cappuccinos, champagne, all served on fine china, etc. I brought friends in one morning and they had a blast.

Plenty of shuls in/close to Talpiot.
Train doesn't go close to there.
Perhaps look into Airbnb if you want to be as close as possible.

Have 3 nights booked at Wyndham TRYP for 2 (won't be at hotel much but would like a comfortable night's sleep since it's in beginning of trip when jetlagged), still thinking of a couple other options since TRYP doesn't have free breakfast anymore - either Lev Yerushalayim just for the 2 bedroom part of it (I know it's old and nothing luxurious but location and amount of room would be nice), or could spend a little more points wise (UR or possibly using AA Hotels/Miles since I have so many I just don't care) and staying at the Herbert Samuel. Other hotels I'd be interested in are just too high for me to justify. Thoughts? Don't see Herbert Samuel mentioned much, but it has an indoor pool, good location, looks nice. The Wyndham is an amazing value just because I value Wyndham points so low. Going to be with one child only. I feel stupid using 30k/miles or points per night at the Herbert Samuel when Wyndham is only 7.5 though. Herbert is still 1/2 of the nicer options like the David Citidel, Kind David, Waldorf, etc.

Planning a trip to EY in early December. Is the Leonardo Plaza the best (only?) option for a mehadrin hotel in Yerushalayim that's not Prima Palace?
Any suggestions for a hotel in Teveria, Tzfas area? Not as expensive like the Setai is.
Also, I'm leaving EY in the morning so I would like to head back to TLV area the night before. Are there any airport hotels there? It seems like the hotels are in TLV proper.

yeah leo plaza clearest kashrus of a high levelish hotel in good location (but it ain't as nice as waldorf etc). i enjoyed my stay there alot.
in tsfas i love the Ruth hotel (was rimonim but switched to dan recently), but u should check with the mashgiach as they used to be good and tell u what to have and what not to have, though dunno with change.

looks the same from here, but i never felt they were in a bad condition from an Israel Hotel viewpoint (i.e. 5 star equal 3.5 star). we once had a bad room and they switched us quickly when we complained. https://www.danhotels.com/NorthHotels/RuthZefatHotel/Rooms

there arent many "nice" hotels, but i find ruth to be the best imho and the prices were always reasonable with rimonim. Note that in tsfat there is a large industry of tzimmers/rentals and u can get a great nice place for cheap (with no food).
