In the heart of Jerusalem, the YMCA Three Arches Hotel probably has the best location in town. Opposite the famous King David Hotel, it is a 10-minute walk from the Old City. Most attractions of the city can be explored easily by foot from the hotel. This unique, interesting and historical building was completed in 1933. It has beautiful public areas with arches and lush gardens. The restaurant serves non-kosher meals throughout the day, and during the summer months guests can enjoy a meal or a drink on the beautiful terrace. Rooms are clean and basic in design and all are nonsmoking. They include cable TV, air conditioning, telephone and a bathtub or shower. Internet is available for a free throughout the hotel and parking is available free of charge on site. Guests at YMCA Three Arches Hotel can enjoy complimentary access to the indoor swimming pool located in the adjacent sports center, at given time slots. Here guests can also take advantage of free scheduled Zumba, yoga and spinning classes.

The hotel is located in historical building, and its architecture is impressive, both inside and outside. The rooms are comfortable, with nice view. Despite the age of the building, the hotel rooms are maintained and well-equipped. The bathroom was very spacious and comfortable. The hotel has a parking arrangement and its own sport center with swimming pool, sauna, gym and more. There is a restaurant in the hotel, they serve breakfast and brunch till 13:00. We found it very useful for us, as we wake up late. The coffee in the restaurant was very good.
If you have a stroller, mind that you have to lift it by hands 10 steps in the front entrance. There is an option to avoid the steps, you have to enter the building from the back door from Washington St. and elevator.

The location is excellent, and the building itself is historic and full of character.
The beds are outdated, and the pillows are uncomfortable. There is also a kindergarten directly below the room. In booking, The photos make it appear that a breakfast buffet is served, but in reality there is no buffet. Instead, a very small and basic breakfast is provided. This was very disappointing and felt misleading.

we were upgraded to a suite. LOVELY!!!! This is our second visit to Three Arches and we really enjoyed staying with you.
I wish the restaurant served dinner. Also, your coffee shop was closed (in the past it was open forafternoon coffee)

We absolutely loved our stay here. The location is great if you want to visit the Old City by foot. Francis at check-in was lovely. We got an amazing large and quiet room on floor 2 with a beautiful bathtub and shower. The AC worked perfectly, and there was plenty of hot water. I loved the old style windows and tiled floors. They still had the Christmas decorations up, which was nice to see. We went up the tower for a great view. The breakfast was simple, but good value for NIS 50 - vegetables, eggs, some cheese and salami, bread and a tapanade. We didn't have time to use the sports center or pool, but still thought this was amazing value and a great stay!
The breakfast salami was not the highest quality, but that's honestly grasping at straws here!

staff super nice, attentive and helpful. There was a chrismass fair during our stay which was great! You also get free access to the YMCA sports center and to an amazing 360 viewpoint on the city. Having a parking space so close to the city center was a game changer
the acoustic is a bit of, we could hear the noise from the corridor.
