I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and had a useful safe in the wardrobe. The LCD satellite television, free Internet, and hairdryer were great amenities. The staff was friendly and very helpful, making my experience enjoyable. However, the dining options were lacking, and some dishes were not fresh. The location, while overlooking Jerusalem, was slightly intimidating at night due to the surrounding area but had easy access to key sites like the Old City and Lazarus tomb.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were comfortable, they had a lingering dampness in the air, and being on the lower floor with no view next to noise was not ideal. On the bright side, I did enjoy a fantastic view of the old city and the Dome of the Rock.

The location was superb with stunning access to the East Wall of Old Jerusalem, the Getsemani, and the Church of Ascension. However, being in the Arab district could feel slightly intimidating at night due to the hustle and bustle.

The dining options consisting of yogurt, hummus, fresh vegetables, picked vegetables, cheeses, and breads were decent but could have been fresher. The prices were reasonable compared to outside locations.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were very clean and nice, but unfortunately, my room was on the lower floor with no view and right next to the noise from the street. The service was wonderful overall, although they were friendly without going above and beyond. The location was excellent, with beautiful views and close proximity to important historical sites. The dining options were good but a bit pricey compared to alternatives nearby. The facilities were sufficient for a comfortable stay.
