What I most liked was the location, the fact that the hotel is in an Antietam building and specially the kindness and availability of the Staff, always ready to help and please us.

Sofia, Portugal

The location staff and Ambience or great. Listen, this building is hundreds of years old and it shows it. But it's decorated with kind of an eccentric eclectic Flair that makes it really fun. The room had good cool air conditioning and Aloft that did the job.

Location n breakfast n hospitable staff n cleanliness

Lay, Singapore

Excellent stay, hotel with much character in great location and good breakfast

Gary, Australia

Can't beat the location, right inside the Jaffa gate in the old city. Right near tower of David, and outside city walls 5 minute walk to modern mamilla mall.

Hagibora, United States of America

The property is old and charming, the family who run the hotel are very friendly and helpful. It feels like you are home. Wish i could stay longer, it is hotel that you can live in for weeks, feels like home and the library is a massive bonus.

Viji, India

Friendly and helpful staff, with a perfect location. Recommended.

Dominic, United Kingdom

Great breakfasts and roof terrace overlooking Davids Tower was a pleasant place to relax. Good location for visiting old city.

Fiona, United Kingdom

The hotel staff and owner, Mr Durani, were very accommodating. Mr Durani prepared a packed-breakfast for me on the spot when I mentioned i had an early tour. He also upgraded my room to one with a front-facing balcony and two floors, at no extra cost. I travelled alone to Israel for my birthday and everyone at the New Imperial Hotel made me feel welcomed, safe and valued. It's a beautiful charming hotel with the BEST location and amazing rooftop views! Thank you so much for hosting me!

Sandeep, United Kingdom

Perfect location for Old Town and Tower of David. The staff was lovely. I liked the balcony too. The style of the hotel is quite charming.

- • Quadruple Room with Balcony-Split level
- • Stayed 2 nights

눉Even my sons said this reminds one of a run down hostel. Teeny tiny rooms. Falling plaster all over building. You'd think they'd start to plug up SOME of the holes in the walls and ceiling. No parking whatsoever, you have to park expensive at the mall down the street. Elevator doesn't work, staff doesn't help lug luggage way up stairs. AC is dicey, we had to switch rooms after first night because shower only released scalding hot water (we would have changed rooms that night, but reception empty after 10pm)...
눇Can't beat the location, right inside the Jaffa gate in the old city. Right near tower of David, and outside city walls 5 minute walk to modern mamilla mall.

눉It's an old charming hotel so I wasn't expecting 4/5 star facilities. I had everything I needed: hairdryer, free room wifi, breakfast, sat tv (didn't come for that), kettle and fridge. Bedding could be updated but not a deal breaker as it was clean.
눇The hotel staff and owner, Mr Durani, were very accommodating. Mr Durani prepared a packed-breakfast for me on the spot when I mentioned i had an early tour.

((Excellent Underground car park 8 mins walk away think it was called Karta / Mamilla, ticket on entry just pop in pay machine on exit pay with card or cash then drive to barrier)). Manager and receptionist gave fantastic hospitality. Would definitely stay again - loved the feel of this place like going back in time.
