Another way of accomodation in Israel aside a regular hotels or hostels is a B & B or as we call them here Tzimmers (i think this word is originaly German).
Tzimmers are a Small houses usually with one or 2 bedrooms, Showers (most of them have this days a Jacuzzy) Kitchen and a nice garden.
Those Tzimmers are built by people who lives in a villas and who build them for renting them to people on vacations so its basically at the Owner's area but you normally have your privacy and no one disturbs you.
Some include breakfast in their prices and in others you have to ask for breakfast and pay for it.
The Kitches are usually well equipped and its actually quite nice to buy some stuff that you like and cook or prepare you breakfast or sometimes dinner.
Also Many of the Tzimmers has that BBQ thing (how do you call it in English ?) so you can make some BBQ as well.

For checking and booking please check the following websites:

IMPORTANT NOTE : Better not book it online but by phone, although in most of them you have the option to book on line it usually doesnt work well as the people who rent still doesnt use this well and are used to work only by phone. So to prevent any unpleasant experience better just give them a call.

This hotel is a nice and small one near the main road that goes from Amiad Junction to Kiryat Shmona, Its located about 10min' drive from Rosh Pina, about 25 min' drive south to Kiryat Shmona and 25 min' north to Tiberia.
Small, nice, close to many attractions in the north and relatively cheap.

Nof Hotel which in Hebrew means (Scenery/view/landscape Hotel) Is indeed a place where you have a great View all over Northern and easter Haifa, You can watch the port of Haifa below, and if there's a good visibility then you can easily see Akko (Acre).
The Hotel is Located on Mount Carmel, just near the (relatively) new promanade.
The rooms are nice though not posh, I think 3 floors are renovated and the other 2 or 3 are not, or at least thats how it was when i visited there so you might want to check this before
booking.
Staying at this area of Haifa is an advantage also for being close to many of Haifa attractions (not that tehre are too many) and the view is just great.
Mind you during winter time its Cold out there.

The Ambassador hotel is one of the nice hotels in Eilat to my opinion, although there are other hotels which may be more beautiful and posh. The Ambassador Hotel is a 4 starts hotel and is located a bit out of the center in the southern part of Eilat (near Club med hotel) which is more quiet and among the diving clubs area.
The hotel's standard rooms are nice and comfortable, the balconies watch the lovely swimming pool, thr red sea, the mountains of Jordan and part of Aqaba (jordan) !!
Service is great, breakfast is rich and yummi and basically i cant say anything bad about it.
If you're coming to dive then you should know that two of the best diving centers are located near the hotel, One is the RSSC (red sea sport club) which is located at the hotel, and accross the road you can find the famous Aqua Sport club.

The Astor Hotel is a lovely one... not a backpackers hotel and not as posh as the Hilton.

This Small guest house is runned by German managment and located at the old city just about 5 min' walk from Jaffa gate... which means that when staying there you can really feel the atmosphere of the old city and that can be quite an experience !

The prices in the High season is bout 90 $ and in the low season just a bit less then that.
And as far as i know credit cards are not accepted.

I cant add here any personal opinion cause i haven't stayed there only know a friend who have stayed there and was quite happy with it.
