I found the David Citadel to be a terrific hotel. The staff was excellent and accommodating. The room was spacious and clean and the bed comfortable. For the most part I find Isreal's food to be awful, however, the food here (especially breakfast) was bountiful and just a step below delicious (I'm really picky)
The David Citadel Hotel
About the David Citadel Hotel
Facing the Old City walls down the street from the King David Hotel is the 5+ star David Citadel Hotel. One of the most prestigious hotels in Jerusalem, the David Citadel offers a breathtaking view of the Old City walls and its namesake, the Tower of David, as well as all of the amenities one would expect in such an exclusive hotel.
The David Citadel Hotel was designed by architect Moshe Safdie, who applied the same blend of Jerusalem elements and neo-oriental style in the adjacent Mamilla Hotel and pedestrian mall.
The David Citadel Hotel also offers a wealth of dining options as well as luxurious spa facilities to add a sensual and relaxing element to your stay in Jerusalem, as well as gorgeous event facilities that can host various types of events.

“Luxurious stay at the Citadel ”
Extremely well appointed, this hotels amenities are exceeded only by its accommodating staff. Ideal location as well. Concierge exceeded every need. Breakfast buffet was quite extensive. Opt for the views toward the Old City overlooking their pool.

On this last occasion at breakfast time, besides of enjoying the unique view of the Old City, we were taken care of by Mr. Ata Bayah in a way most friendly and respectful. We believe that many companies in the catering business would be proud of him! Thank you and Shalom

My husband recently stayed at this hotel (as he has many times before). Revital Carmeli and Mariana Nazy went above and beyond to make his stay comfortable.

MoreMy husband recently stayed at this hotel (as he has many times before). Revital Carmeli and Mariana Nazy went above and beyond to make his stay comfortable. He was upgraded to an alcove room with a terrace, overlooking the pool and the walls of the Old City. The breakfasts were outstanding and delicious and the breakfast, omelet chef was extremely efficient. The pool grill food was exquisite. The housekeeping staff are hard working and made sure that the room was neat and clean, everyday. Lastly, Rodney G. Sanders, interim general manager, was able to make the time to discuss hotel issues with my husband, even as he welcomed a Latin American delegation. My husband appreciated his personal attention.

Attractive, well designed structure in fantastic central location. Easy to walk to the old city and the central areas of Jerusalem. Mamilla pedestrian mall is right across the street.

MoreAttractive, well designed structure in fantastic central location. Easy to walk to the old city and the central areas of Jerusalem. Mamilla pedestrian mall is right across the street. Nevertheless, the hotel is quiet and pleasant. Old city facing rooms/suites offer great views over the rooftops. Pool, gym and other common spaces are all very good as is the breakfast buffet. Staff are accommodating. Only suggestion is hotel would be further enhanced if they offered little bottles of cold water as guests entered the lobby, which is an extra a hotel of this high caliber might consider.
