Tips on Accommodation in Israel

Israel's hotels fill up during certain seasons and holidays, and you should be prepared with advanced reservations. Generally, hotels are busiest during July and August, and on the major Jewish and Christian holidays such as Passover, Easter, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Chanukah, and Christmas. Rates skyrocket during these times and rooms can be very scarce if you do not book in advance. For detailed information, and a full list of holiday dates, see Calendar of Events in Israel.

Off season is generally November through February (except for Chanukah/Christmas/New Year's). It is, however, the busiest season in Eilat, which has almost perfect, sunny weather when it is colder up North.

With a few exceptions, Israeli hotels in all price categories tend to lack atmosphere and architectural style.  Some exceptions include the King David, American Colony, and Mount Zion hotels in Jerusalem; the Cinema Hotel in Tel Aviv, and the Scots Hotel in Tiberius.
 

Many of the accommodations listed on the Christian Information Centre website are among the most atmospheric and unusual choices in Israel. Rates are very reasonable; rooms are comfortable but simple; atmosphere is quiet; buildings are usually 19th century in decor; and in most cases, guesthouses welcome visitors of all faiths without questions.

Some hotels and B&Bs offer full or half board, which can be a good way to save on meals during your trip. Full board means that you get breakfast, lunch, and dinner, while half board includes breakfast and one main meal (usually dinner).

Israel is a very informal place, and a tradition of careful service does not usually exist at most Israeli hotels. Where you do find good service, consider yourself lucky. Once you accept that there is no use getting frazzled by this situation you can let yourself get out and enjoy the more beautiful side of the country.
