We spent four nights at the National Hotel in Jerusalem. The room was a comfortable size with all the amenities that you need, the staff were freindly and efficient, and the hotel was situated within walking distance of the old city (a very important consideration for Jerusalem). It was really easy to make reservations by emailing the front desk manager... More

Original review below plus addendum, Original review: Nicely located in the heart of the Arab section of Jerusalem, an easy walk to the Old City and two minutes to a great cafe/bookstore ("Educational Bookstore"). Rooms are what you would expect from a top-ranking hotel: comfortable, air conditioned, flat screen TV, free wifi. Some have small balconies. The staff downstairs, especially... More

We stayed here for 2 nights, then left for a night in Petra, then returned again for one more night before our flight back to the U.S. The staff spoke excellent English, answered all of our questions, assisted us with computer issues, and called to check on our airport shuttle when the driver was late. They also made a very... More

We are repeat customers at this hotel, and will continue to make it our hotel of preference when we visit again. Location is great, within walking distance from the Damascus Gate. The rooms are of decent size and very comfortable. The key here is that everything works. This review would be incomplete without special mention of the outstanding service by... More

I saw this hotel on tripadvisor and found it relatively cheap compared to other hotels here. I cannot remember anything bad, it was a good hotel with good service. I especially liked, that they helped me getting a taxi and negotiated the price for me. (30 Shekels/ 8$ to Yad Vashem - not bad at all) I only realized it... More

This hotel is the perfect choice if you are visiting Jerusalem to see the Old City and religious sights, especially if you are visiting during Passover and do not want to be in a West Jerusalem/Kosher hotel which will not serve anything with leaven, including cereal for breakfast. East or Arab Jerusalem, where this hotel is located, does not receive... More

As I walked through the door, awaiting me at the footsteps was Nirvana, the front desk receptionist who somehow knew who I was and greeted me with my name! Wow what a welcome. From that moment the tone of my stay in Jerusalem was set. What a great start! Every need was catered for, from a cold bottle of water... More

I stayed at this hotel during my trip with my girlfriend last month, it was a mistake that I did not check the the hotel before. The hotel looks nice but there was no pool and service was not the best to say the least. I did not like the location it was in East Jerusalem. A very simple hotel.
