Tips for Choosing the Best
Israel - Hotels Jerusalem

Besides price and facilities, here are five points to consider when selecting your accomodation in Jerusalem.

If you prefer, skip directly to our Map of Jerusalem hotels or jump to the Best Jerusalem Hotels Guide below.

1) Is breakfast included?

Most Israeli hotels serve delicious breakfast buffets with a variety of breads and pastries, salads, fruit, cheeses and yoghurts, egg dishes, smoked fish, freshly squeezed juice and fresh coffee from a quality espresso / cappuccino machine.

Jerusalem is an expensive city and dining out will cost more than you might expect. You can save a lot of money if breakfast is included in your daily room rate.

So before you book, find out if and what type of breakfast is included.

2) Is there Air Conditioning?

Jerusalem summers are milder than most of Israel, but it can still get quite hot in the summer. And because of its altitude, Jerusalem winters are cold. So air-conditioning for both heating and cooling is important during the summer and winter.

Some Jerusalem budget and even midrange lodging might not have adequate cooling or heating, so do check before you book your room.

3. Is there WiFi Access?

Although more and more hotels in Israel provide free WiFi, not all do. And some places may provide free WiFi in the lobby but not in guest rooms.

So if you need to stay connected, make sure to confirm if WiFi access is available in guest rooms. If its available, determine if you have to pay. Its worth inquiring about the WiFi quality too.

Some people are fine with a comfortable hotel room,and don't care if there is nothing to see out the window.

But some hotels have amazing views of the Old City or other Jerusalem mounts and valleys. If you are willing to pay for it, you can book a room looking out at Jerusalem's unique scenery. Sometimes, even relatively inexpensive hotels can have wonderful views from the roof terrace or lobby.
