Property is walking distance to the old city Jerusalem and shopping stores around the area. The hotel has dinning and the food is great as well as a morning coffee with pastries which you can buy before starting your day. My stay was pleasant and would recommend to anyone that doesn’t want to be far apart from the old city Jerusalem.

Breakfast was excellent!!!! Very sumptuous and the service was very attentive. Also, on the last day, the front desk ordered us a cab to the airport who accommodated our wishes and was very polite and helpful. The drawback is tiny shower cabins and somewhat skimpy supply of shower gel)shampoo and towels. Area is safe and super close to the old part of the city. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!!!

Always an enjoyable stay! The staff are the best part of staying here. They are unfailingly kind, helpful, patient and friendly. Location is unbeatable, and easy walk to Salah al Din and the Old City. The only (slight) disappointment was breakfast. There are not enough fresh and healthy options available. Brewed coffee and hot tea are included. But espresso drinks (lattes, Americano, cappucino,) are extra and expensive. Great people, and always a nice experience. We will be back!

After a disastrous first night we were moved to a higher floor. This hotel needs to address some basic issues such as mild around air conditioning units and hallway ceilings as well as leaky showers. The staff however were most helpful

This hotel was a dream - the location was perfect to walk to old city, the bus stations, the market area. The staff was amazing and so approachable. The breakfast buffet had everything imaginable it was more like a brunch - hummus, scrambled eggs, yogurt, peaches, watermelon. Mushrooms, eggplant, boiled eggs, olives. Tomato, cucumbers, arugala, deli meat, cheese, pastries, cake, pita bread, and more. Every thing was immaculate. Im so glad we stayed there

They assisted with a smile with every question and concern we had. The food was excellent with a wide variety of dishes, really enjoyed the breakfast, Tamar was an excellent waiter and was there to assist about every time we ate there. Within 10 min. Of the old city, but if you needed transportation they would jump right on it. For a place not rated 5 stars, the staff is 10 stars.

Although it was in a lower class neighborhood it was beautiful. When I arrived an older staff member noticed I was having a little trouble with my bag and came down the entry stairs and carried it to the front desk for me. The staff were friendly and polite and it was clean throughout. And I have to say that the capriccio at the coffee shop was the best.
