I loved the fresh orange juice at breakfast, the proximity to the gate plus the neighborhood. Also I was grateful that one of the managers, Yardana, gave us a complimentary upgrade because the first room offered to us was a travesty. That room must be renovated before you give it to anyone else!!!!!

The wet sauna has no facilities to wash the sitting benches before and after use. The lunch is incredibly high priced, especially for kids(300 shekels ?!, 400 for grown ups). As I reserved 3 rooms in some there were minor problems like tv out of service or plumbing faults.

Very loud and you could hear everything behind the doors of the room, not bright, dirty cups for breakfast, no cattle in the room, bad air conditioning system, had to get up and turn it on, otherwise was cold in the room. Too pricey for the quality I have stayed there 8 years ago and it was way better

The David Citadel is really an excellent place to stay in Jerusalem. I have visited several times, but never had this level of service and comfort. The check-in was smooth and with a very polite and sweet young gentleman. The view of the old city is magnificent and you can keep that even during an outside breakfast. Everything is within walking distance and the area is central and completely safe.

“Mostly very good but room for improvement.”

Mini bar in room was not restocked for first 5 days of my stay. I finally had to ask 3 times to get it restocked. This should be done EVERY DAY. Breakfast dishes that should be hot what were often only luke warm at best. Concierge desk not very reliable following up messages. Twice I gave instructions which concierge staff wrote on loose scraps of paper, which were apparently subsequently lost or misplaced. Dining room (dairy) staff prone to doing silly things like bringing entire meal order at once. For example I ordered soup, spaghetti pesto, ice cream and pot of English tea. It all came to the table at once, so spaghetti would be cold by the time soup was finished. Also, spaghetti is eaten with a fork and spoon, yet I always had to ask for a spoon. Just a little more training necessary.
All parts of building spotlessly clean and well maintained. Housekeeping staff seems to do an excellent job. Most of staff very pleasant and willing to help.

The staff were unfriendly and not welcoming. It was our first time to Israel and we were not welcome to dine at the hotel during our stay as it was a local religious holiday during our stay. After a long flight, it was terrible not to be able to feed the kids but have to walk the streets locating somewhere to eat. For a 5 star hotel this is unacceptable.the hotel should have pre-warned us in advance and made alternative arrangements. We were shocked and had never experienced something like this.

1. When we arrived, They told us to park in a diferent parking because there own parking was full, they said it won't cost us but in the end they didnt agree to refund us. And charged us also for parking in there own hotel, and a very high price. 2.they said we will get seperate beds for the children, we confirmed it 3 times and aventualy they slept together on the same bed. 3.charged for minibar 400 shekels in advanced even when i said i will not take anything from the minibar. They said they will pay me back in a few days... we will see... 4. The Front desk people are not nice... all the others are great. 5. The pool has no cover, sunburn for the kids. 6.the room is very small for the high price. 7. No balcony. 8. No where to hang wet sweemsuite in the room.
Everything is clean, nice to have a coffee machine in the room.

The on-site restaurant (Scalia) was a disappointment, I mentioned to the on duty manager the next day that they needed to work on the service and food. Surprisingly they comped the meal, which I wasn’t asking for nor expecting. That was very classy.
