We ate in the hotel lobby and expected to receive quality food. Unfortunately we received very low quality and no tasty. Because their price is high, as a customer, you think you get the best and that's not real better find a real restaurant outside the hotel and hope they will improve
Isrotel Exclusive Collection: Orient Jerusalem Hotel
Exclusive Luxury at the German Colony
With the Isrotel Exclusive Collection Orient Jerusalem, Israel’s largest luxury hotel company brings its most ambitious opening to Jerusalem’s German Colony neighborhood.
The hotel and residence features 240 luxurious rooms and suites spread throughout the main facilities as well as a collection of breathtaking Templar-style buildings typical of the neighborhood’s architecture, as well as an indoor and outdoor pool, a pampering spa and a prestigious fine-dining restaurant serving a kosher-dairy menu. Meanwhile, the rooms themselves are equipped with large, lavish beds, elaborate bathrooms and beautiful city views.
The massive project took years to build as it was carefully crafted with an architectural style meant to invoke the spirit of Jerusalem and the German colony, combining elements of the past and present such as typical Jerusalem stone, reflective glass, and local wood designs.
A Unique Location
The German Colony is best known for its charm and peaceful atmosphere, and we wouldn’t blame you if you never left the hotel. However, don’t forget that the hotel is also just a short walk from some of Jerusalem’s most happening areas including the adjacent First Station (5-min. walk), the upscale King David Street (10-min. walk), the bustling downtown Jerusalem and the Old City (2-3 km), to which it is connected by a number of public transportation lines.

“Below Average Food - Not 5 Start”
“The nicest of the Isrotel hotels we stayed at during out trip to Israel ”
For context: my husband and I are two young professionals who live in NYC. We’ve worked our butts off so we can stay in beautiful hotels around the world including in Paris, New Zealand, Thailand, Africa and more. Overall: During our 9 day vacation in Israel we stayed in three Isrotel Exclusive Collection hotels...
MoreFor context: my husband and I are two young professionals who live in NYC. We’ve worked our butts off so we can stay in beautiful hotels around the world including in Paris, New Zealand, Thailand, Africa and more. Overall: During our 9 day vacation in Israel we stayed in three Isrotel Exclusive Collection hotels - The Orient in Jerusalem, Beresheet in Mitzpe Ramon, and Royal Beach in Tel Aviv. The Orient was the nicest all-around (but you can’t beat the view at Beresheet). I recommend staying here! Vibe and decor: When you walk into the Orient lobby you feel like you’re in an oasis of sorts. The color scheme is very pleasing, calming, and reminiscent of the surrounding area, adding to the already airy feeling of the lobby due to all of the natural light streaming in. We stayed in a regular room which was well-appointed and decorated accordingly with the luxury vibe of the hotel. Food: The food here was quite good and the buffet was extensive. Had some great Israeli breakfasts here! Pool: A little small but great views of the city and a tranquil, luxe vibe. Great place to watch the sunset Service: This was my first time in Israel, but I experienced more or less the same thing everywhere we went - service and hospitality is not what it is in other parts of the world. In addition to experiencing this myself, Israelis themselves even admitted it (our tour guides, Israeli friends and acquaintances, etc). The service at the Orient was definitely some of the best service we received while in Israel, but just be prepared and don’t expect 5-star level service at the luxury hotels in Israel. But again, the Orient staff was some of the best. Props to them.

We had a pleasant stay in the hotel. The location is fun near Emek and the old train station, but can be a bit noisy at night as you’re located close to the street and in between 2 major roads of the city. The rooms are a little small, but nice and modern. It’s clean and fresh,...
MoreWe had a pleasant stay in the hotel. The location is fun near Emek and the old train station, but can be a bit noisy at night as you’re located close to the street and in between 2 major roads of the city. The rooms are a little small, but nice and modern. It’s clean and fresh, an interesting layout and a lovely pool for adults with great views (off-peak times). We went to a wedding at the hotel- the decor was beautiful, the atmosphere was great and then we tried the food- extremely disappointing for such a high standard hotel. Overall, I enjoyed my time at the hotel (for the novelty factor of the hotels layout and the pool), but in the long run (when that wears off) the older classic hotels higher up the road will remain the better places to stay.
