Breakfast:
Paying guests get breakfast for free. If you are staying on points you need to be gold or diamond to get free breakfast. (source)

Parking:
Complimentary (No longer, is now 60sh for self park - Drago)

Shuls Nearby:
Great Synagogue - Approx. 7 minute walk
Kotel around 15min walk thru the mall & arab Shuk (Only suggested when soldiers are present like friday night on the way home)
Hotel has a Shul in the basement
Shul across the street

Hechsher: Plain Rabbanut Yerushayim (not mehadrin)
hechsherim in isreal
whatever your rabbi says you can eat, someone else's rabbi says is treif

If anyone is planing on staying at Waldorf and not eating the free breakfast (Hechsher, Early flight, etc') please PM shimino1

If you get free drinks vouchers and don't use them, I'll buy it off you for 10 shek per voucher.
PM shimino1

If anyone is planing on staying at Waldorf and not eating the free breakfast please PM dragoddfer, and he may be able to pay for the breakfast.

Bc they don't want people on points there is hardly any staff there and doesn't pay to have to worry about people coming on points  , I have a feeling they will block August soon as doesn't look like any tourist are coming , Hilton tlv blocked points  till sept a while ago.

No they aren't canceling due to over booking  or some other reason it's a covid thing so you'll get your points back and that's it ,

My hebrew isn't that great and neither is my understanding of how this stuff works. Does this mean it's about to become the "Leonardo Astoria"?

I actually know Jeremy Blank. He hasn't worked for York for over half a year so the Calcalist headline is a bit odd. I'll try to clarify with him

As of now it's been taken over by the company but everything is staying the same , they are stuck in the same contract with Hilton as when last owner signed so they can't just sell it or break away from Hilton. Everything is finally done with the hotel (pool and spa) so when someone buys it , doesn't make sense to gut it to rebuild it . Makes sense to leave it as a hotel.

Any pics of pool and spa?
Any idea how long the Hilton contract is for? What's the penalty for early termination?
