Swimming pool, breakfast, location, view

This was our 4th time here , over 35 years. The location and general historic panache are very special. It feels like an honour to stay at KDH.

The foyer seemed to be continually taken over by function people and the dining facilities were not up to 5 Star standard. We stayed over Shavuot and then Shabbat and meals were basically limited to unappealing cold choices during those times. Many of the guests were clearly not Ultra-Orthodox and yet it was run on Orthodox lines. For example, over Shabbat, the lifts were set as Shabbat lifts. Some of the staff seemed to act as if we should be serving them.

It is very rare to write any feedback following a stay at a hotel, but unfortunately this time is warranted. I have just returned from Israel, and on reflection, I am deeply disappointed with the standard of the King David - especially with the hefty price tag that comes with it. I have stayed at some pretty impressive hotels all over the world - with some of them being half the price for a night that I paid at the King David. From the Ritz in London to La Mamounia in Marrakech- both of these hotels that I’ve stayed in are similar prices to yours. And yet, the standard of the room here was the equivalent of a 3* hotel I’m afraid. Last week marked my third time at the King David - which I have always associated with opulence and finery. However the room I was given was anything but that. With the price tag associated with that room I am quite frankly in disbelief that I paid so much for the standards. It’s easier for me to list the issues I had as I don’t want this to be an essay. Especially as writing reviews is an uncommon occurrence for me. By no particular order: - The TV was tiny - the sort of kind you can buy for $50 off Amazon. Was pretty shocking. - The TV remote didn’t even work. I couldn’t change the volume. - The bathroom was like a motel. It was incredibly basic. It was small and felt very outdated. - The electrical wiring hanging out of various places including above the mini bar. - The breakfast was very average. I don’t understand why we were given 3 ginormous slices of smelly cheeses (that couldn’t possibly be finished) - with everything else being a relatively small portion. - In addition, the bread we received was cold. I’ve never been presented with cold bread with a room service breakfast in my life. - The gentleman who provided our room service insisted we pay there and then in our room. Was incredibly uncomfortable as he stood in the middle of our hotel room waiting for our card details.

our home away from home a 12 out of 10. Big spacious rooms with large separate bathrooms location is superb walk to old city through Jaffa gates and shop at Mamilla. Pool is incredible, grounds are large and expansive, and it makes for an oasis right in the heart of all the action

Beautiful view of the Old City from our room, magical at sunrise and at night. The breakfast was excellent and the bar and restaurants were also excellent. We particularly enjoyed our conversations with Yardena, the very knowledgeable sommelier. We had some great Israeli wines that she recommended for our taste. The location of the hotel is perfect for exploring the Old City and taxis are easily available for other jaunts.

great hotel and most of the staff is exceptional. I would simply recommend the younger staff especially in the restaurant focus more on the clientele than on private conversations.

Not a whole lot, great, historic and super place to stay in Jerusalem.
