Where to stay in Israel
Hotels in Israel
Hotels:
About 350 hotels are members of the Israel Hotel Association (see Accommodation Information below). Prices vary according to season and region. It is best to book months in advance for Israel's high season (usually July to August, though this varies according to the region) and for religious holiday periods.
Bed and breakfast:
Across Israel, many private families have converted their homes into bed & breakfasts, known as zimmers. Some are simple rooms with a shared bathroom; others are private bungalows with kitchenettes and all mod cons. For details and addresses of zimmers in Jerusalem, contact the Home Accommodation Association of Jerusalem (see Accommodation Information below).
Camping:
The fine climate makes Israel a good country for camping, with campsites providing a touring base for each region. They offer full sanitary facilities, electric current, a restaurant and/or store, telephone, postal services, first-aid facilities, shaded picnic and campfire areas, and day and night security guards. They can be reached by bus, but all are open to cars and caravans. Most have tents and cabins, as well as a wide range of equipment for hire. All sites have swimming facilities either on-site or within easy reach.
Other accommodation:
There are about 20 hostels in Israel. They can be dormitory, family bungalows, guest house standard rooms, huts or modern cubicles and they are scattered all over the country in both urban and rural areas. For further details, contact the IYHA (see Accommodation Information below).
Located mainly in places of Christian interest, some 30 Christian hospices (operated by a variety of denominations) provide room and board at low rates. Although preference is given to pilgrimage groups, most accommodate tourists. They vary greatly in size and standards but all offer tourists basic accommodation in situations where hotels are full. Details are available from the Israel Government Tourist Office (see Contact Addresses).
Apartments and individual rooms are available on a rental basis throughout Israel.
