“This was my second visit to this hotel.”
This hotel has lots of character. Staff very helpful. They have a family tree posted in the lobby dating back to 1490!

“We loved it and cant wait to visit again”
The location is exquisite, incredible view of the Tower of David and roof top views of the mound of olives and the golden dome. The hotel is beautifully decorated with history and local antiques.

First, we would like to say that the hotel is located in a wonderful place — just a few steps from the Mamilla Mall, the markets of the Old City of Jerusalem, and most importantly, all the holy sites: the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Dome of the Rock. It is truly a unique and special location. As for the hotel itself, you feel as though you are at home among family members. The owner is a noble, generous, and polite man who helps you with everything you need to make your stay unforgettable. Go up to the rooftop to see all of Jerusalem, or sit and enjoy a cup of coffee in the warm lobby — and remember, you are among family. No matter what your religion is, this hotel embraces everyone and extends a hand of peace to all. It welcomes you and offers the highest level of hospitality so that you can make your pilgrimage to your sacred place of worship and visit the most important religious and historical sites, such as King David’s Tomb, the Via Dolorosa, or Al-Aqsa Mosque. We will always choose this hotel whenever we visit Jerusalem.

“Magical”
The location is the biggest advantage. It’s right by Jaffa Gate, at the entrance to the Old City. If you’re visiting Jerusalem for religious sites, especially the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, this is one of the most convenient places to stay. You can walk everywhere.

“My next visit I am booking in to this hotel again!”
The staff were absolutely fantastic - they were so helpful and friendly. The room was really nice and clean and the bed although it was a bit older, was very comfortable. I had a lovely little balcony looking out over the old city. Remember the building is old - but very charming!
