New Imperial Hotel

The hotel is old so it has its share of problems. Uncomfortable mattress, smell due to old plumbing. However staff is very helpful and location is unbeatable. Breakfast looks great but the taste was pretty bad - guess they use cheap guality ingredients. Having said that I would still return as it was value for money too!

The location is right where most tourists start into the Old City, which makes it a lively place. Walking distance to all sites, right across from the Tower of David. The problem is, it’s too close. Every time the Tower of David light show is on, you will hear the sound and see the lights from your room. So in addition to the hundreds of people passing by chatting and laughing, vendors yelling, cars honking, you have the loud sound from the Tower of David. The last show was at 11pm, so prepare not to get any sleep. The only time it was quiet was Friday evening, because of Shabbat. As for the hotel, it was ok. We had a family room with 3 beds on the upstairs level and 2 beds down, 2 bathrooms. Bathrooms showed somewhat renovated but had a musty weird smell. Breakfast was good though, lots of options and was clean. We will not go back as we realize now there are better airbnb’s more worth the price.
