Over the years, I've stayed at Lev Yerushalayim a couple of dozen times. If you're looking for luxury, this isn't the place. But if you want a hotel that's just three blocks from the exciting Jewish shuk (open air market), as well as the Ben Yehuda Mall, and smack dab next to a slew of key bus routes, this is it. It's also nice to see, post-covid, the return of tourists at the hotel. However, performance at Lev Yerushalayim, as always, is hit or miss. On my latest visit in November 2022 (2 nights, then 1 a week later), there was no heat in the hotel on my first two cool fall nights. On the go-around, there was heat. The bathtub shower continued to be a problem on the first two nights. Contrasted to my visit in June, this time the flexible shower hose had a hook so I could stand underneath. But -- the plastic shower guard covers only 1/3 of the tub, so showering meant huddling in the front of the tub to avoid water running onto the floor. Lo and behold, on the second visit a week later, I was assigned a room which had a plastic shower curtain around the tub in addition to the shower guard. Why this simple workaround couldn't be done in all hotel rooms is beyond me. I normally have no problem accessing my hotel room in LY. But on my second visit, the key spun around and around in the lock, not opening a thing. I had to get the desk lady to come up, try it herself, and give me a key card. On my first room this time, the tv worked well, getting many dozens of stations. But on the second time, the tv turned on but got no stations. Bummer. I'm grateful for the microwave in the rooms, but on the first two nights my microwave had a broken handle. Could have been fixed. Bottom line: mixed bag. Decide what's important for you.…
