Fabulous, iconic hotel in the heart of Jerusalem
Pros:

The YMCA hotel is truly like no other in Jerusalem. The building is iconic, everyone knows it in the city. It is beautiful. The staff is very kind and helpful. The breakfasts are delicious and the cafe is open until late. I had pizza and a wonderful local wine for lunch. The rooms are elegant, quiet and very comfortable. The hotel is a very short walk to restaurants, shopping, the Old City etc. And there is a pool and jacuzzi. I am definitely staying here on my next visit.

Pros:

המבנה מרהיב והיסטורי. מאוד מיוחד.החדר היה מצוין ונקי ביותר.
יחס הצוות היה מצוין.
המיקום בעיר יוצא מן הכלל.
מעולה שאפשר לשים את האוטו בחניון של המקום.
החסרון היחיד הוא שארוחת הבוקר (בתשלום נפרד) מאוד צנועה וחדר האוכל היה לא מחומם (ביום מאוד קר) ולכן לא
לקחנו אותה.
