The staff were wonderful- the manager Pauline (?) very accommodating. But overall the property was disappointing, although a great location on Old City, nowhere to park car or even un load car! We had to park 20 minutes walk and walk all of our luggage in on foot. They said no taxis could enter. This was a huge problem. Also the rooms had garbage on floor, and the brekkie seemed like it wasn’t made that morning. The beds were decent, the showers fine. Just overall not my favorite accommodation and prob not one I would return to.

Our experience at The Sephardic House Hotel was nothing short of exceptional. Nestled just steps away from the Zion Gate in the Jewish Quarter, this beautifully restored building offers the rare opportunity to stay inside Jerusalem’s Old City while enjoying modern comforts and warm, attentive hospitality. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the elegance and charm of the historic architecture. The interior courtyard, with its stone arches and serene ambiance, evokes the rich cultural heritage of the Sephardic community while providing a peaceful retreat from the city’s energy. The rooms are tastefully decorated, immaculately clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The location is truly unbeatable. Within minutes, we could walk to the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and countless other holy and historical sites. Being able to explore the Old City early in the morning and late in the evening, when it’s quieter and more atmospheric, was a unique privilege.

I liked that the location is 5 min walk to the Western Wall. The breakfast was really great and the staff was nice and helpful. The Shabbat dinner was very special (but that is extra - not included in price). The only thing I didn’t like was that the central air conditioning made it very cold for me and there was no solution for it other than extra blankets and pillows. Also there is no laundry which can be a problem for a longer stay. Otherwise everything was great.

Location is hard to beat. In the ancient Jerusalem the Jewish Quarter. The A/c in the room was not helpful. It was keeping the room at about 26 degrees while outside were 35. In the evening we would open the windows. Even though it was 16 degrees outside and the room would cool down some, as soon as we would start the a/c it would rush back up.to 26 which made sleeping difficult. Staff couldn't help. The breakfast on Friday was outrageous. Half the size of the previous days and all the warm dishes were cold. But the staff cooked some dishes over again upon request so it was ok. Probably best to stay there during cooler months since the location is top.

We wanted to stay inside the walls of the old city of Jerusalem. There are of course much larger newer hotels outside the walls, but there's nothing like staying inside the old town. The property was in the Jewish Quarter. It was clean and not too noisy at night. Breakfast was included and was a full buffet. It is basic, so not a lot of amenities. No pool, etc. But the AC worked well; and the hot water. The beds were clean and comfortable. The staff were helpful. It is about a 3 minute walk from the Western Wall.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Staff at breakfast is kind of rude, they just get the food out of the kitchen and that’s it, nothing warm,nothing prepare for guests, and you can see them eating while guests are still having breakfast the breakfast hotel hours. Property is ok but not for the price of a 4star hotel.the entry door is even broken you have to push it really hard to getting bc the security guard that’s sitting there i guess is for decoration, bc he doesnt even ask if you are a hotel guest so i guess anybody can get in. Reception staff is ok, but they are not kind ehen we check in they didn’t even bother to explain the location of the hotel in the area, neither any eating or attractions suggestions. The bed is comfortable. Elevator was always an issue we were in the 5th floor and elevator often only made it to 4. Definitely not a 4star.

The hotel has 2 sections which is not obvious when you book on line. I was originally put in the regular economy room next to the from desk which was dirty, old an unkempt. The front desk staff made a lot of noise late at night and early in the morning which was very disruptive. The room was better when I switched to the other side of the hotel. Breakfast was mediocre. Would only recommend the larger rooms.
