YMCA Three Arches Hotel  

Fantastisk staff, god morgenmad, en pool som er lukket det meste af tiden, værelser som trænger til geopfriskning og udskirftninger at gulvtæpper. Vil komme der igen pga. fantastisk beliggenhed og god pris.

Clean, comfortable,

the desk staff gave me some information about transportation to the airport,when I signed in the clerk told me to just come at 2:45pm and get a shared mini-van to the airport When I was getting ready to check out another clerk told me that I needed to reserve the previous day and she had no knowledge of other airport transportation just take a taxi for $80, i had to make arrangements totally on my own, it was very stressful

Excellent location in central Jerusalem. It's not a luxury hotel by any means, but it's sufficient for your basic needs. It does have pool and fitness center, though I never got the chance to utilize them. Housekeeping stops by in the morning and afternoon to ask if you need anything, and you can always call the front desk anytime.

Be aware of the following: They do not provide wash clothes, just hand towels and bath towels. They provide bath gel and soap, but do not provide shampoo/conditioner in the room. The room I had only had 1 electrical outlet with 2 plugins--but you need 3 plugins to be able to have the refrigerator, tv and cable receiver powered. I bought a 10nis adapter at a local electrical supply to gain additional plugins. There was only 1 plugin in the bathroom (can be set to 220 or 110v). So if you have a lot of beauty appliances (hair dryer, curler etc), be forewarned.

We picked YMCA because of price and location.

Very unprofessional personal in the restaurant Security stuff that prevents you from smoking in open air areas ppretending: "we want to create an healthy environment" and does it itself in that very places when you turn your back. Security personal that prepares lunch boxes not forgetting to lick their fingers before taking the next thing from the buffet... The sauna and spa area is not clean at all in the evenings!

Wonderful building, helpful staff, pretty patio restaurant. Great location. Spacious room and bathroom, well air-conditioned (greatly appreciated our upgrade!). Excellent value for budget hotel.

Restaurant service slow. Breakfast food runs out fast and is replaced slowly or not at all. Food could be better managed and presented.

Wonderful location, beautiful setting and common areas. Staff were the most welcoming and pleasant of our entire stay in Israel.

Location, food and staff.

The building itself (not the rooms) is beautiful. The hotel location is very convenient.

Overpriced: the rooms are like rooms in a budget hotel but the price is that of a four star hotel. What you're paying for is mostly location and reputation.

The staff were very helpful indeed. The hotel interior (traditional Arab style buikding) is beautiful

Not a negative but don't expect luxury. Accommodation and food is adequate in standard.

The history of the place and the liveness of its environment.

The rooms are dated but comfortable and the information desk is not very helpful.

This hotel was much better than expected. Access to interesting sites was very good, it is a beautiful building and worth staying for that. The fact that it is used for other activities besides hotel guests gave it a special atmosphere. We went up the bell tower (definitely worth doing) and a group of children were up there with their teacher drawing pictures of the city. The staff were polite and helpful. The room was clean. We had a light dinner one evening and it was excellent. The hotel has a taxi driver and the staff will help you negotiate a price. (Important because there are taxis everywhere all wanting your business and the prices are not necessarily consistent.)

Having read reviews on the breakfast I was prepared for average food and I wasn't disappointed - I have had better breakfasts elsewhere. When we asked for refills (ie the drinks jugs) it was done quickly, but I didn't think we should have to ask. Having said that, the breakfast offers a good choice and was tasty enough. I had also read about the beds (being a bit uncomfortable) and I agree. We were there three nights and it was enough.
