The hotel itself is really lovely, but the room was kinda basic for the amount of money to be honest. Nothing was wrong, exactly, but I would have thought it would be nicer for the price. No decor really, only instant coffee, no view, but it was clean and comfortable.

MoreThis hotel is extremely well placed for the old city being almost next to the Jaffa gate. You can't park a coach there so the staff will take your luggage the 200m from the parking - or you can roll the cases yourself. The small courtyard is ideal for sitting outside whilst the bar area is quite atmospheric and a pleasant place to be, situated under old stone arches. They are refurbishing rooms at the moment so there is some building work although this is not problematic. However there are only 2 lifts and one was out of action during our stay which caused delays. Our room on the 1st floor was small and dingy with the bathroom having seen better days with mould around the shower. I did not see one of the refurbished rooms but a friend staying in one could not get the heating to work and was very cold. We spoke to reception on her behalf and the response was not helpful at all. The dining rooms are modern but there was a hole in the ceiling in one of them. They are sterile places to eat and the food was bland. I suspect the hotel mainly caters for large tours. I will not stay there again.

"A stay in the Old City"
The Gloria Hotel is wonderfully located within the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem a short walk from the Churchof the Holy Sepulchre. The Gloria has unique atmosphere. Rooms are clean and good and there is a very pleasant new dinning area. Staff are helpful and efficient.
