Hotel's Favourite
Spent 3 nights to celebrate a special anniversary . It was absolutely everything we’d hoped it would be . Service was amazing starting with Ron , who greeted us , brought us to our room , gave a history tour of this fascinating hotel , got us a cab etc . Breakfast must be eaten at the lush King David buffet ! Pool was magnificent, you truly felt whisked away to a lush tropical paradise . Room amenities were gracious … really a perfect experience . We WILL be back !

We were not staying at the hotel but we had afternoon tea there. The food was delicious and the ambience was very nice. We were asked to reserve a day in advance in order to prepare for our party of 3, although we still had waited for a while before the food arrived - I feel like we could have at least had tea while we waited for the food. Rozalia was great!

It never happens to me where a reception desk clerk hung up the phone in my face. I was assured it will be investigated but never heard back. In general the staff is not trained and unprofessional. They do not behave as expected from a high end hotel. It was not a one time incident. We have stayed there a few times and always had problems.

Hotel is amazing and historical, pool is incredible and the beds and room beautiful. I would stay away from Room service, go downstairs instead to Buffett for breakfast, food was cold, coffee was cold and everything was forgotten each time, food was awful and unappetizing from room service. Restaurant food was good but very limited choices for people whom do not eat fish or meat and staff was superb at reception..

Many thanks to Yardena and Ashraf for aiding our first visit to Jerusalem. The visage of the King David Hotel’s serene overlook of Old Jerusalem at sunset we will carry home from our storybook visit to a city that transcends all description.

We recently made a reservation for afternoon tea at King David Hotel, anticipating a delightful experience given its supposed five-star status. However, we were met with unexpected disrespect from the hotel staff. Instead of seating us in the main area, we were inexplicably directed to an isolated room, completely devoid of ambiance or other guests. Despite our inquiries, no rationale was given for this unusual treatment. To the management: A mere acknowledgement stating appreciation for our feedback will feel as dismissive as our actual experience. Such incidents should not transpire in a reputed five-star hotel. For fellow travelers considering this venue: I'd recommend the Waldorf Astoria over this establishment. They seem to genuinely value their guests.

Fantastic hotel unbelievable service. Friendly accommodating English, speaking staff. Great location to the Old City. We upgraded to a room with the large balcony on the pool great view of sunrise over the old city. Walking distance to many great restaurants.I would have given five stars but the rooms are a little dated and the bed was a little on the hard side just a personal choice though. The Saturday morning Buffet breakfast was a treat coming from America not used to anything like that so it was a great experience. although I didn’t use the pool, we did walk by and it was excellent.

We stayed there twice-once in August and once in September. My wife, my family and I have been coming to the King David on a regular basis for well over 20 years now. Every time we come, we feel as if we are home. Of course the hotel itself is magnificent in every regard, but it is the staff that truly makes us feel special each and every time we come. The dining room waiters and staff are always extremely friendly and welcoming. The entire front desk team is always welcoming and makes us feel like we are home. Special shout out to Karawe, at the front desk. Also, I would like to commend the terrace restaurant staff - Ido the Chef, Chris, the Maitre d, as well as Elisheva, Safuri, Rahaf, and Lina. I was upgraded to my usual room, a garden terrace room overlooking the old city. The view is breathtaking from our balcony. But the real star of the King David is the Concierge, Jeremy Weiss. Everyday he helped us out with tour reservations, restaurant recommendations, as well as making reservations for us. There wasn't anything that we needed that he could not do. Most importantly, one day I left my iphone in a taxi cab. As I had used Gett (Taxi App in Israel), Jeremy immediately contacted Gett customer service, obtained the cell number of the driver, and arranged to have my phone brought back to the hotel. Jeremy is truly a gem at the King David Hotel, and I applaud him! We already miss Jerusalem, and the King David, and cannot wait to return! …

This review is for the hotel's restaurant, The Grill Room, considered one of Jerusalem's premiere dining establishments . Much about our evening there was quite positive, but our experience was diminished by negative elements. On the positive side, the wait staff was attentive, patient and knowledgeable; the first courses and deserts lived up to our expectations. The main courses which we ordered seemed to come from a different restaurant - two fish dishes which were severely overcooked and underseasoned, much of which we left on our plates and certainly not worth the hefty tariffs. They did not have the one option which we both wanted. In all fairness, others at our table were much more satisfied with different dishes. One more word about ambience, this restaurant has very limited lighting, to the extent that we could only read the menus with the flashlight from our cell phones. Not on our list to return.…
