Jerusalem Hotel
About the Jerusalem Hotel
The Jerusalem Hotel is a charming, family-run hotel in East Jerusalem that offers comfortable rooms, personal service and attention to detail. The hotel has been run by the Saadeh family since 1960 and was renovated in 1991. Found in an old Arab mansion from the previous century, Jerusalem Hotel boasts high ceilings, arched windows, Arabic furniture, antiques and Persian carpets.
The hotel is located within walking distance of Damascus Gate and a light rail stop that can take you quickly to various parts of the city, including the city center, Yad Vashem and the central bus station.
One of the highlights of the hotel is the dining experience. Eating out on the garden patio under the vine leaves simulates the experience of eating in a Palestinian village whereas the 300-year-old atmospheric cellar simulates a Bedouin setting.

MoreThe room has a great air conditioner. Just 2 years ago there weren't any air conditioners in the rooms ,so that is great. My room was clean and cosy.However there isn't elevator.It wasn't a big deal for me but it could be an issue for older people and people with disabilities. I got a "welcome drink" which was great and food in the restaurant was really good. Service was slow but still very good.Having said that,I didn't like the idea of not having indoor place for non-smokers. I like the charm of the hotel. Everything was perfect or at least almost perfect, but then came breakfast. Breakfast was served in a derelict, not inviting and not welcoming room near the bathrooms. On top of that ,the food was not fresh and it was scant. The hotel is defenately recommended but only without breakfast.

MoreThis is a historic family home, perfectly situated to discover the old city (Via Dolorosa, Church of the Holy Sepulchre). We love the thick stone walls, the beautiful wood, and tasteful authentic decor. If you’re lucky enough to get a chance to talk to the owner Raed, you will get reams of information about Jerusalem, its rich history, sad present, and varied ethnic makeup. The rooms are beautiful, with lovely modern bathrooms, and good WiFi. The garden/restaurant is a lovely tranquil oasis from the bustling souk that’s only a few minutes away. A stunning home away from home.
