Prima Park Hotel Jerusalem

This is a clean and modern hotel which offers many amenities such as on site restaurant serving breakfast and dinner buffets with large variety of Israelite food, and a gift shop. Food was delicious and service was prompt. Also provides free WIFI, mini refrig and safe in rooms. Bathrooms are on the smaller size but very clean. Bedding is a little scarce in the sense of firmer beds and scantily made up beds with just a sheet and thin overlay. We had problems everyday of our stay (4 nights) with the pressure and temperature of our water. While taking a shower it would go off and on for about 3 or 4 times during our shower. When water came out of the faucet it spewed and ‘coughed’ several times as if air in the lines. When we reported it, they just said let the water fun for a few minutes. This was quite annoying. We were with a large travel group and all rooms had the same problem. We were on the 7th floor overlooking either the side or the back of the building and it was extremely noisy. We kept hearing horns and police sirens until 1-1:30 am. This hotel does accommodate kosher and sabbath requirements. Restaurant has a separate dining room for large groups. Also has a nice separate lounge area. This is considered a large hotel (7-8 floors) but only has 2 elevators.

Our travel agency picked this hotel as we were on a tour. There several tour groups staying here. There are only two elevators so you will have to be patient if several groups check in at the same time. Check-in was swift and our room was on the 6th floor facing the street. Street noise can be heard as it is a heavy traveled boulevard down below. After the second night I got used to it. Breakfast was held in a very large room and food placed in different sections as it was buffet style. There was a wide variety of food and due to the location there are no pork products available. There were hardly any plates left and I had to look for a coffee cup despite asking a staff member. Meals can be served at the hotel but we opted to walk 15 minutes to a local mall for fast food. There is a small convenient store there if you need snacks. The beds are comfortable and bathroom is clean. We did have problems with our television but maintenance came right away to adjust the settings.
