Great location, great pool ,great activities for kids, the room was very clean and quite spacious for a family of 4. To conclude: great value for money. On the down side: The breakfast needs immediate improvement. Most of the food is uneatable in my opinion.
Ramat Rachel Hotel
About Ramat Rachel
Only a few minutes’ drive from the bustling Jerusalem city center and the Old City, among the tranquil fields of Kibbutz Ramat Rachel, stands the Ramat Rachel Hotel. The unique location – a kibbutz adjacent to the city – makes the Ramat Rachel Hotel the ideal place for those who prefer a quieter home-base with a country feel, but do not want to compromise on convenience and proximity to Jerusalem attractions.
The hotel offers a wide range of facilities for every possible activity: romantic getaways, family vacations, private events, professional conferences, tours, and sports and leisure activities. The hotel’s restaurant serves three kosher meals during the day. There is also a coffee bar open till midnight at the hotel’s lobby, a synagogue, gift shop, and the Kibbutz’s supermarket where you can have a “old times” shopping experience.

The experienced staff will help you to design precisely the event you envision and will accompany you every step of the way.

MoreStayed at the Ramat Rachel for almost a week. Nice hotel but a bit in need of a face lift. The food is great and service good. Just wished the staff were abit more friendly as they never smile much which felt very unwelcoming for people like us in the Pacific who are always happy. Pool area under major construction but you can still use it. Beautiful old ruins preserved beside the hotel which has amazing views our the city.

Staff were very helpful and all the standard supplies, twoels, toiletries etc. were good quality and topped up every day. There is a shop with supplies and souvenirs. I really enjoyed the piped music in the hallways, I actually saved some to Spotify. They even had art displays in the hallways. The only downside was I ran out of clean socks near the end of my stay and when I went to ask about laundry, they could only offer me service for $10. I washed them in the sink instead. Generally an extremely pleasant upmarket hotel. Would recommend.

MoreWe stayed here last year so we knew what to expect. We got upgraded to a fantastic room.staff all helpful and friendly. Breakfast good although the you girls clearing tables did not look like they wanted to be there .we decided to go to the pool and what a shock the outdoor pool had gone and it was like a building site a notice at desk would have been good to inform us of this we did not get to swim as the small indoor pool was overcrowded. It will be great when it's finished we where told .All the information on notice board is in ivrit .yes I can read it but it would take me a while,perhaps information in English could be obtained from reception desk.The bus into Jerusalem from the car park is Good as it drops you off at Ben Yehuda, we knew this from last year but this is also not on a notice .perhaps a printed sheet with information on pool times ,bar opening times and bus information by the way it number 7 from the end of the car park. We will definitely be going hopefully next year as I would like to see the new pool which from the pictures looks amazing
