The location is excellent, just inside the Jaffa Gate. Staff is excellent; the breakfast crew accommodated my family's special dietary request (dairy free). It is old style, traditional. We like that.

Beautiful comfortable and climate controlled rooms

Saud Qatar

Excellent location and the staff was amazing. They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. They were extremely accommodating and allowed us to check in early at like 1pm. After check out at 11am they allowed us to stay in hotel with complementary water, tea and coffee plus use their Internet. During the breakfast we had a GREAT choice of eggs, cereals, salads with side dishes. Great options of coffee, tea, milk, juices and sweets. Thank you SO MUCH!! I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Jerusalem.

The staff was extremely friendly even offering me their personal bread that had been delivered to them from the bakery. The staff in the kitchen area also very friendly and helpful. Beautiful rooftop deck and great historical artwork and photos throughout the hotel.

Victor United States of America

Breakfast was very good. Location of the hotel is fantastic, inside the old city and steps from Jaffa Gate. Great view from room.

David United States of America

This is an amazing place. The architecture of the building is exceptional and its location too. It is an old and authentic building, despite authentic could mean less comfort in the size of the rooms. However, what they made out if it is really good work. The room had a stable and comfortable table suitable to work on a laptop on business stays.

I loved to stay in an iconic building located just inside Jaffa Gate. The room was ok for one person. The breakfast was good. The staff was kind and helpful. Thanks for solving my phone adaptor problem.
