Mamilla Hotel

The design of the hotel is very interesting! Modern, but conservative. You have a lot of Art, Design and History books all over its area and even in your room. The room itself is spotlessly clean and disign in the high comfort grade. We very liked a bath-shower-toilet area, with transparent walls and modern installations. The bed is a little bit hard, but big. You also have a nice coffee-machine corner. The atmosphere in the hotel is calming. Especially a pool area - I enjoyed it very much! The breakfast was good for a Shabbat day - not everything was completely cold meal. We came relatively early and had a table outside - in the courtyard, it was really pleasant. The service is great. Every guest was kindly asked to put on nylon gloves for taking a meal from the buffet. Sadly, we didn't get a late check-out: the guy at reception said that check-out is at 13 (Shabbat at Jerusalem!), but after I insist that even at Tel-Aviv it's usually later, he gave us permission to stay in the room until 15. We were disappointed: we've planned a trip and a dinner at the area. Check the parking opportunities an advance. We had ours for free through the hotel at the -5 floor of the public parking at the Mamilla Mall. At conclusion, it was a great experience after all: being in the luxury hotel that situated in such a beautiful place in Jerusalem! We'll be back some day.

Unlike most hotels in Israel that charge 5 star prices but have 1 star service and bland rooms this is a proper 5 star hotel. Outstanding personnel at Reception( Stefan and Dina), fantastic rooms and a rooftop that is best in class compliment an unbeatable location. While not cheap, why should it be for what you get, the price differential between this hotel and your average Zimmer is surprisingly small. An example of what is possible in this country with the right effort and energy.
