  1. The kashrus at that hotel is not up to Charedi standards. I have checked several times when attempting to find places for out of town visitors and I believe the hotel personnel told me it is Rabbanut. Unfortunately most of the guests at that hotel are non-Jews from abroad, or people from Reform or Conservative “temples”.

    It is sad to see none of the hotels in Yerushalayim have top-tier hashgacha. B”H Yerushalayim and Eretz Yisroel have no shortage of qualified mashgichim. People shouldn’t have to accept kulos or chas vesholom sveikas to be able to stay in a hotel in the Holy Land and especially not the Holy City. Too bad the hotel management is not willing to spend a few shekels on insuring impeccable kashrus to the highest standards. That would be worth more than all the luxury.

  2. ***”The kashrus at that hotel is not up to Charedi standards.”***

    So don’t eat there and don’t stay there. No one is twisting your arm and forcing you to do either.

  3. there are many hotels with either a good hashgakha or a good mashgiakh or both. check up on the plaza and king solomon and david’s citadel. I have seen rather important rabbonim eating at all three. the inbal / laromme has rabbanut mehadrin for shabbat meals as well,
