Israel Accommodation
There is a wide choice of accommodation in Israel, from de-luxe suites in high-class hotels through to budget hotels and youth hostels. But there is a certain sameness about Israeli hotels, most of which were built between 1960 and 1980, offering modern comfort and convenience without much character.
Unique Israeli forms of accommodation include kibbutz guesthouses and Christian hospices. Kibbutz guesthouses are relatively expensive and usually offer all the facilities of a luxury hotel plus the chance to get first-hand experience of kibbutz life. Another fascinating Holy Land experience is the broad array of Christian hospices. Originally designed principally for pilgrims, and owned by churches, these hospices cater for all comers, including many Israeli Jews on vacation, who enjoy the old-world European charm of these establishments.
