I recently spent 8 nights at the Gloria Hotel, just inside the old city walls by the Jaffa Gate. Gloria is certainly not a fancy hotel, but it's clean and safe and the staff are very very friendly and helpful. The breakfast and dinner buffets offer a decent variety of foods - tho they all could use a bit more... More

I liked this hotel for several reasons - the main two being the location (just inside the wall of the Old City by the Jaffa Gate) and because we got four beds in a huge room for a good price, which was great for a family - and the room was very spacious. A breakfast and an evening buffet was... More

I arrived in Jerusalem in a downpour! I took a city bus from the bus station (had just taken a bus for 18 shekels from Tel Aviv, less than one hour) and it was cold and then it poured - as I was staying just inside the Jaffa Gate at the Gloria Hotel, I thought I would just take a... More

We just completed 6 nights at the Gloria Hotel, and it included Easter/Passover weekend which must be the busiest time of year. As I sit in our room in the final hour of our stay, the bells of a church are ringing outside the window. It's enchanting. The only other sounds we hear are birds every morning and evening, and...

This hotel is steps away from the Jaffa Gate. Don't let it's appearance fool you. You enter off a small street and into a small courtyard that's beautifully decorated with a few tables and flowers. You come into the hotel into a beautiful foyer area with an "old timey" front desk immediately to your left. On your right is a... More

The only good thing I can say about this hotel was the location. The staff except for an older gentleman were non attentive. The room was cold and when I complained I do not think anything was done (still cold). There was no hot water on one night. Breakfast was supposed to be served at 0630 in the morning did... More

Stayed here with a group from Texas, and we were thoroughly impressed. Good rooms, great staff. The lobby us beautiful. It's just inside the Old City near Jaffa Gate, so walking around is no problem. The breakfast and dinner is just what was needed to prepare or recover from a day of tourism. We stayed in the Annex across the... More

It was not the cheapest, but hotels in the old city are expensive. I saw several nearby that were cheaper, but they were in pretty sad shape. Not much less money for 1 star backpacker type hostels. Gloria Hotel's lobby is fantastic. The rooms are OK. A bit dated, but OK. The location is fantastic. Staff was great. Breakfast was... More

The hotel is so easy to get to from the Jaffa Gate - look to your 11.00 and you will see the road sign 'Latin Patriarchate Street' from the Gate itself. The hotel is very atmospheric, with long stone corridors, arches and wall hangings. The service is genuinely friendly and genuinely caring. I was a lone woman visitor here, and... More
