The Colony Suites are stylish, self-contained holiday apartments for short term accommodation in the heart of the German colony Jerusalem. Suitable for singles and families ranging from a brief visit to a longer stay. Comfortable and elegant, the apartments are designed for maximum comfort. Nestled between the old and new parts of the capital, the German Colony is the most charming area in Jerusalem. Built by the German Templars in the 1870's, the area is known for its unique architecture and cafe culture. The colony is close to the major tourist sites (walking distance to the old city) and the host of several local attractions. There is no better location than Colony Suites, around the corner from the post-office, bank, supermarket, chemist, cafes and public pool and gym.
This hotel far exceeded our expectations. My husband and I stayed in a one bedroom unit with a living room and small kitchen in the living room. We chose it because we did not want to stay in a large commercial hotel; yet we wanted space to work and also to make light meals. It was very comfortable and thoughtfully planned. There was a kitchen table and a desk/vanity in the bedroom. In addition, there was plenty of good lighting in every room (this is something I think is hard to find in most hotels or airbnb's). There was plenty of comfortable seating in the living room, and the bed was also comfortable. Also, plenty of useful storage space and hanging space. By the time we went back to Tel Aviv, we had wished that we had arranged to stay for a longer time at this hotel in Jerusalem. Everything was absolutely spotless and clean. Linda, who runs the hotel, was hugely helpful in providing tips and local information. When we return to Jerusalem, it will be for a longer stay, and we will want to stay here. …

It is not a what you mean be "suites", it is a few appartments within a regular building, and very noisy one.The location is central, too central, noisy, busy, not at all what you would expect from "suites".

Response from Colony Suites, Owner at The Colony Suites
Responded 19 May 2022
Dear Margalit, I’m sorry to hear that it seems you didn’t enjoy your stay. I wish we would know during your stay to have the opportunity to help you. We have no intention of apologizing for the location of our apartments. In 18 years of operation and hundreds of reviews our location was one of the major things we were most praised for. The German Colony in Jerusalem is considered to be one of the best areas in Jerusalem due its central position and tranquil atmosphere. We are very transparent regarding our location in the heart of the German Colony and it is mentioned many times. We are proud that you have Cafe’s, restaurants, shops, bank, post office, pharmacy etc just a in few minutes’ walk and that you can get to the major attractions easily without having to have a car. We are not aware that the word suite has the meaning of an outskirts or not central location. If you’re looking for a rural surrounding there are a few very nice villages within a short driving distance from Jerusalem.

This apartment was perfect for our family of 6, spacious public spaces, roomy bedrooms, laundry etc. We loved the location, convenient for everything we needed and easy access to buses as well. Aviva and Linda were wonderful to work with, and made everything so easy for us!

Colony Suites have several good apartments in the German Colony. We have rented from them 3 times. They meet you on arrival and departure and are available by text or phone during your stay. We’ve rented Levant, Colony and Hildsheimer. All were clean, comfortable and well equipped. The locations are great. The German Colony is a great neighborhood close enough to the Old City to walk there but easy to get there by bus too.

None of this would be possible if it were not for Linda, manageress, who confirms details of arrival, departure and greeting. This is my 4th time visit and stay at colony suites. I walk through the front door and i am home. Warm welcome with all possible like tea , coffee, soaps, bathroom and kitchen, all amenities. Just like home away from home. Wouldn’t go anywhere else in Jerusalem. Of course, 1 minute to shops, 1 minute to bus , elevator, clean .... what else could one want.

I have stayed many times in Colony Suites apartments. They are excellent apartments in terrific locations. You can depend on the apartments to be clean and well maintained. There are plenty of towels provided and the kitchens are well-equipped. If there is ever a problem, Linda responds very quickly and sends someone to repair. The furniture is tasteful and comfortable. Everything is in place for a pleasant stay. The apartments are steps away from the cafes and restaurants on Emek Rafaim street. Sometimes we travel with our children. The two-bedroom apartments are best for families. For couples, any of the one-bedroom apartments are fine. I have no complaints and will stay at Colony Suites next time I visit Jerusalem. I visit once or twice a year.

We have stayed in two different Colony Suites apartments and both have been ultra clean, comfortable, with large bedrooms and communal areas, and in great locations. Recommend them without hesitation as great apartments for a Jerusalem stay.
