hotels in Jerusalem and Kiryat Shmona
Has anyone stayed at the Prima Kings or the Prima Royale in Jerusalem? Also, where should we stay near Kiryat Shmona? Finally, is there a hotel to stay in near the airport?
Thanks
Thanks

I don't know the Prima hotels in Jerusalem - so no opinion from me on that.
Kiriyat Shmona has no hotels.
You could stay either in the many B&Bs (zimmers) in the moshavim (farms) and kibbutzim in the area, or in B&Bs and hotels of Metula. Rosh Pina has loads of B&Bs and is also an excellent option.

I had the opportunity to visit the Prima Kings in Jerusalem about two years ago. I was not staying there, but visited with someone who was. The public areas and the lobby are very nice and the location is excellent. However, the rooms they had were extremely shabby and worn out. Personally I don't think I would have care for staying there.
There is no hotel near the airport but you can always stay in Tel Aviv and get a taxi to the airport at any time.
As for the North, agree with eri, Rosh Pina is a fabulous small "boutique" town with marvelous (and expensive!!) boutique hotels, restaurants, old city, etc. If you give me some more info I may be able to recommend something specific for you there.

We stayed at the Kings about 2 years ago. While they might not be the most modern the rooms were comfortable and I would not class them as shabby. I did read somewhere that the Hotel was undergoing renovation around that time.

We've stayed at the guest house of Kibbutz Kfar Giladi which is in Kiryat Shmona and also at the guest house of Kibbutz Hagoshirim. They're both quite nice with nice gounds where you can walk around. Always ask for a room with a view.
They both also have heated indoor pools which we enjoy. There are lots of tiyulim you can take from there (for ex. the Banyas,Zfat, Golan, Kazrin, Ben Tal, and more, and beautiful scenery). (If you're interested in kosher restaurants, look on the website:
www.eluna.co.il You can also get coupons for discounts at restaurants.) We love the Kiryat Shmona area.

If you are looking for economical lodging near Kiryat Shmona - check out the youth hostel at Tel Hai. http://www.iyha.org.il/eng/Index.asp...ryID=65&Page=1
It is a few minutes out of Kiryat Shmona and I can recommend it - I've stayed there a few times - nice rooms, well kept, mini fridge, kettle, TV, private shower, etc. for each room.
Regarding the airport - there are no hotels at the airport, as others have mentioned. However, there is no real benefit to staying in Tel Aviv, unless you are there. If you are ending your trip in Jerusalem, you can get to the airport from Jerusalem just as easily and more economically. There is a sherut service from Jerusalem to the the airport and the travel time is only about 15 minutes longer than from Tel Aviv.

When we were in Jerusalem we stayed at the Dan Panorama, great location and a very nice hotel. We walked to the old city and always noticed the Eldan Hotel which is in a great location, across the street from the King David. When I retrun to Jerusalem, it is a hotel I would consider staying in.
