I too am thinking of spending +/-10 days in Israel, perhaps next year,
travelling round by bus.
http://www.egged.co.il/eng/ seems to cover most of the country.

There don't seem to be many hotels bookable online - the ones that are have
crazy prices.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

for 4 stars is ok.

For that you only need to follow one star!

Israel in not that big a country.
I would think that day trips to most of the "sights" are easily achievable
from either Jerusalem or (possibly better) Tel Aviv.
Maybe 5 nights in each?
If you find any nice hotels, let me know.

Last time I was in Jerusalem I stayed at the Ron hotel on Zion Square.
It was very cheap, but it was "down the hall" bathrooms. Not sure if
it's still in business. It was very centrally located and had a big
"Coca-Cola" sign in hebrew on the roof, so it was easy to find.
