YMCA Three Arches Hotel  

This is a very nice place to stay for a trip to Jerusalem. We stayed in this hotel on May 9-13, 2012. It was a beautiful old hotel full of atmosphere. We had a corner room on the 5th floor. We paid $160 [Canadian]. The bed was large and comfortable [ the pull out couch does needs replacing]. The room had air-con which we didn't use as I preferred opening the nice windows to let in natural air. Although there was a chipped bathtub and not a perfectly hung curtain, the place was immaculate. Housekeeping was wonderful and it showed, shiny large common areas, stairwells, elevator and in rooms. We were greeted by a friendly front desk staff and checked in quickly. This hotel offers a large hot breakfast every morning included in price. Free indoor pool and a wonderful located patio in front. Highly recommended.

Felt the hotel could be more eco-friendly and would like to see a hotel policy with a card placed in rooms such as this message has proven to inspire recyling activity: join your fellow guests in helping to save the environment Almost 75% of guests who are asked to participate in our new resource savings program do help by using their towels more than once.

Beautiful luxury inside, very good location - up to 10 minutes walk to the old city. Very cosy restaurant with tasty food. Very friendly hotel staff

There are only two things I liked about this hotel is location and exterior of the building. Meals were ok dinner was very good

Bed are shocking, rooms are shabby old furniture and an ancient television

Reasonable value ($150 for a ttwin) by local standards. Rooms basic , decor tired beds were comfortable. Suspect noise isolation poor. Breakfast adequate. No oher catering other than a coffee shop (inexpensive) Didn't use pool gym eyc. Great position and nice ambiance and grounds. Perfectly adequate for a Jerusalem visit at 1/3 price of the adjacent luxuries (king David, David Citadel, Mamilla and soon the Astoria).

It was one of the most disgusting places I have ever stayed in in my life. It smelled disgusting, and was very very very creepy. I do not suggest staying there at all. Was way to expensive for what it was worth. Overall was the worst experience of my life.

First. We started as a budget selection. But since we were to vsit the Old City Jeruselum, the location was excellent as well. Used the gym and the pool Breakfast was very good. The YMCA had great architecture itself making it seem higher end. Plus the tower view and the castillion

Nothing not to like.

Location building and the terrace

the hotel arhitecture is interesting.The building is not so old,but looks like old church.Its typical to Jerusalem-everithing looks little bit ageless.Sorry the mistakes in my letter.

The staff was very helpful answering all our questions and helping us. The breakfast was excellent!!!

Meals other than breakfast were expensive.

Restaurant open on Shabbat, pool

Staff not helpful

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.

I loved the architecture fitting in with the Jerusalem experience. It was also a central location and not far from imprtant landmarks. It was very clean and comfortable for tourists of any nationality.

It would be great if Kosher meals were available too.
