Mount Zion Hotel
About Mount Zion Hotel
Hugging the slopes of the Hinnom Valley directly across from the Old City walls is the Mount Zion Hotel. The boutique hotel is located in a 19th-century building that is defined by its quaintness and understated elegance.
The Mount Zion has 140 guest rooms including luxury suites as well as a range of amenities and facilities, including verdant public gardens, a swimming pool, indoor and outdoor Jacuzzis, a spa and a health club including a traditional hamam (Turkish bath).
The location of Mount Zion Hotel is ideal for excursions to both the holy sites of the Old City and the many attractions of the city’s center. The Cinematheque, one of Jerusalem’s essential cultural institutions, is right next door, as is the Menachem Begin Heritage Center.

MoreOur stay left us wanting. The hotel is very tired and the staff appear uninterested if you are not a large group tour party. The room was average - we booked the cheaper room but even so it was particularly tired and wanting. The bar was very inadequately stocked and the staff showed little interest. The staff generally appeared to consider any requests a chore and customer service was poor.This is a hotel which could be so much more but unfortunately they are probably not interested in making it a 5 star property. The surrounding gardens and location is beautiful but again the pool area is uninviting and catering for large groups with no real facilities around the pool at all. Such a shame.

MoreThis hotel has nice views from the lobby and the check in was easy and very friendly staff; the rest was was not so great: the decor of the rooms is very outdated, bathroom was dirty , the floor around the toilet was dirty with some old tissue left there covered in dust for our entire stay (4 nights), the floor mat was disguising, sheets were ripped and never changed. It looked like the floors were never washed or vaccumed. The shower curtain was dirty with the entire bottom covered in soap scum and black mold. The breakfast buffet room had birds flying above our plates. Overall experience very negative because of the poor hygiene.

This was the first hotel we stayed in during a wonderful trip to the Holy Land. We traveled with a tour company who selected this hotel. This location is just outside the old city walls and it is a classic older hotel, but updated enough. The grounds have a lot of character,...
MoreThis was the first hotel we stayed in during a wonderful trip to the Holy Land. We traveled with a tour company who selected this hotel. This location is just outside the old city walls and it is a classic older hotel, but updated enough. The grounds have a lot of character, take some charming pictures in and out. You can walk to the train station and there is where we went several times for some shopping, entertainment and some restaurant choices. Views of the city are great from here. Rooms were clean, service was good. Hotel is also quaint.
