Any conclusive info in regards to the hechsher?
R' Borenstein? R' Zaritzky? Kosher?
I think just regular rabanut.

While their official hechsher is Rabanut , speak to the mashgiach - as most (or all) of their food will usually be from better hechsherim.

Does what cost room or dinner? Dinner is menu prices not fixed.


BTW, I asked about Shabbat dinner and lunch, they said it is 400 NIS. Shabbat dinner is served waiter service, Shabbat lunch is buffet.

And the place is amazing.. One of the nicest places I have been to. Looking forward to my stay there.

The hotel is very much aware of 'second guests'. No need to worry.
