“Beatbox location”
“great week-long stay”
Second stay at the Golden Walls. Great trip. Room was kept impeccably clean. We were in 119, a quadruple which was spacious with a spacious bathroom. Would recommend paying for a quad or triple even if you are only 2 as long as you can afford the difference due to...
MoreSecond stay at the Golden Walls. Great trip. Room was kept impeccably clean. We were in 119, a quadruple which was spacious with a spacious bathroom. Would recommend paying for a quad or triple even if you are only 2 as long as you can afford the difference due to increased spaciousness as compared to double rooms. No view to the Old City walls from that particular room (many do have this) but a lovely minaret right outside the windows. Literally 3 minute walk to Damascus Gate and maybe 10 minutes to Lutheran Church of the Redeemer and Church of the Holy Sepulcher--location can't be beat. Easy transportation connections; five minutes or less walk to bus station as well as light rail at Damascus Gate station. Surrounded by neighborhood full of small grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, etc. Good meal selection (we had half board)--only downside is I wish the coffee were better but it was an option to order an espresso for 10 NIS. Laundry service available--$4 for a shirt or pair or pants, $2.50 for underwear or socks. Came back the same day. Bar is generous with its wine pours. Front desk staff was extremely accommodating. Make sure to request non-smoking room if that applies to you. Just so you are aware, popular amongst large tour groups. Will be back!
Less“Some good points, some bad”
The hotel is conveniently sited just outside the walls of the old city, so many interesting places are within a 45 minute walk. The road outside is very busy so if you are travelling by car you will need to find out where to park. There is a flight of 30 steps...
MoreThe hotel is conveniently sited just outside the walls of the old city, so many interesting places are within a 45 minute walk. The road outside is very busy so if you are travelling by car you will need to find out where to park. There is a flight of 30 steps from the entrance to the reception desk and the hotel lift does not connect to the entrance. The room was a good size and quiet with a comfortable proper double bed (i.e. not 2 singles pushed together). The heating in our room did not work for 2 nights (other guests had the same problem) but the hotel did provide us with an oil-filled radiator. The en-suite bathroom was superficially clean, but very grubby in corners and crevices. The sealant around the bath was cracked, broken and missing in places, so whenever we showered the bathroom floor flooded. The food is excellent. There is plenty of choice and you can eat as much as you want. It is a buffet service so be prepared for a crush at busy times (many guests don’t understand queuing politely!). Neither tea nor coffee are provided in the evening, but can be ordered at extra cost. The lounge area is pleasant and comfortable although sometimes draughty. The roof garden was closed throughout our stay.
