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

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.

You can easily find this out by searching on the HHonors website.

It's 80k Points per night regular. I don't even begin to understand Axon rewards.
I looked and saw it was 80, I just wasnt sure if that was for certain nights only.

Is there a high/low season or is always 80?
Looks like Axon would be 260k for a 4 night grouping because it's a cat 9. Cmiiw.

Can someone confirm whether Diamond guest on points gets free breakfast here? It is not required by Hhonors at Waldorf Astoria properties, but seem to reports here that it is given..

Thanks

If you go to the website to book, every room says free breakfast. With cash or points.

Has anyone used the two weekend certs from the citi hilton reserve card here? Any way to use it for a weekday? It seems like a much easier option then trying to accumulate the necessary points...

Yes. People used them here.

And technically NO.. They can only be used on weekend. But for more on that check out this thread - http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=18298

I was there for 12nts over Succos. People were walking into breakfast and no one was really checking room numbers. They asked me for my room number once in 12 days. Nonetheless, everyone gets breakfast.

I called them and asked for the Hashgacha. I was told that it is "Rabbanut Yerushalaim". What is that? Is it reliable?

depends on your LOR. Most chareidim do not hold of it in standard scenarios except in specific instances where they know the Masgiach or such

from reading thru it seems like they spoke to the Masgiach and got the rundown of where all the food comes from and then they felt comfortable eating it. (Which still seems to be unreliable if you don't eat plain rabbanut even if the meat is "usually" rubin)

If you read thru the thread you'll realize the real reason of why the hasgacha in this place is rabanot in the first place.
