The King David Hotel

Over estimated but great potential. Needs new management!!!Visited during Covid times and expected the staff and fellow patrons to wear masks but the case. Although most of the staff had masks covering part of the face mouth and chin the nose was exposed and patron were without masks sitting in the lobby. There was an advertised four o clock tea but no one on the staff knew and only got served after five pm There was sufficient amount of staff but the service was slow. Received food but when asked for condiments they never comes . When asked against empty salt and pepper shakers were brought. Only after a third try did the salt shakers arrive but. Y now the food was cold. The pool was lovely but the lifeguard was either absent or when present talking to people and not watching the people in the pool. The rooms were nice but the bath tub needs to be updated and replaced with a proper full shower. I almost slipped in the bath tub . The breakfast staff was more professional with excellent service. All and all was service of a three star hotel. Potential is there just poor management

For 90 years, this has been the residence of presidents, prime ministers and cultural icons. Yet, whatever your station in life, The King David treats you like royalty. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed. The views of the Old City and the hotel’s pool and gardens are spectacular. The food is wonderful and it is served in a beautiful dining room by waiters who have worked at the hotel for decades. They just can’t do enough to make new and returning guests feel at home. There are many other fine properties in the city of Jerusalem but none capture its history, grandeur and elegance like this timeless hotel. A new general manager came onboard shortly before the outbreak of Covid. He and his team stand ready to continue providing the highest level of service and luxury in the city of David.
