מלון מיוחד עם הסטוריה עשירה צריך להיות לפחות פעם אחת שבאים לירושלים.
Pros:

המלון הינו מלון מיוחד עם היסטוריה מעניינת המלווה את תולדות עם ישראל. עיצוב מיוחד ומעניין.
ארוחת בוקר מצויינת, הצוות יוצא מגדרו כדי שתרגיש בנוח ותקבל כל מה שתרצה.
יש בריכה גדולה, מסודרת, עם הרבה מקום לכולם. חדרים מאובזרים, חלוקים, נעלים וכו'.
מיקום המלון מעולה. אפשר ללכת ברגל ולהגיע לעיר העתיקה ללא צורך במונית או לחפש חניה.

Cons:

קיבלנו חדר עם מרפסת. המרפסת לא עברה ניקוי מזה זמן. צריך יותר להקפיד בנושא נקיון החדר.
לא קיבלנו הודעה שהחדר מוכן. צריך להגיע ולשאול.
אם רוצים לאכול ארוחת ערב, המחיר 780 ש"ח לאדם !! נראה לי מוגזם לחלוטין.

For the large group the accommodations were really great. The location was superb and unmatched.
Pros:

First of all, the property & service manager was excellent. Whenever there was a question, she responded quickly and provided answers on the spot. She made sure to attend to our large party and was thorough with supplies as well. Even making sure deliveries of supplies were provided in a timely fashion. The location was perfect with access to an infinite number of locations in Jerusalem. It was accessible for tours and easily found. Also, the driver who picked us up from the airport was an added bonus. It was well-coordinted between the parties. Thanks so much for making our first trip to Israel so smooth. Much appreciation and highly recommend!

Cons:

The bunkbeds were a concern for adult-use, but we managed. There are no closets available or room for one.

Pas à la hauteur de réputation c’est dommage….
Pros:

L’emplacement, ce que reprendre cet hôtel

Cons:

Le personnel mal qualifié, qui nous a fait perdre du temps au départ du fait d’un mauvais check in, les chambres et salle de bain mériteraient plus qu’un rafraîchissement. De ne pas avoir la possibilité d’avoir à accès à des dessert en soirée comme des glaces … cela est décevant pour un 5 étoiles

great! yerushalayim iyr ha kodesh great to be there hope to return
Pros:

stephanie very very helpful, professional, with service ethic. she is a credit to kd etc I was wondering if Stephanie perhaps try to reach Domino's pizza in French Hill which charged us but the food was not received at the KD hotel and Wolt and Domino's both gave us a run arround when we sought a refund which took many hours of time. I believe dominos and wolt are at fault with bad service, Stephanie was great dealing with dominos failure. stephanie is familiar with the problem and I hope she can perhaps call domino's to not charge me for food never receive at King David hotel? yet deceptively (geneivas daat[?] they said it arrived). the situation became kafquesque when wolt said we must contact domino and domino said we must contact wolt. stephanie is to be praised for her Herculean efforts dealing with this agravating matter. stephanie did a great job helping with this "ones mamon " case from dominos which was dominos fault. gam zu letova perhaps bc we keep kosher and yoel wachtel who ordered the dominoes food on wolt failed to realize that. while the kafquesque mix up prevented us from eating un kosher pizza[ ?] (hasgaha pratit) we still should be refunded by domino.

Cons:

stephanie very very helpful, professional, with service ethic. I would like to if possible request follow up that Stephanie try to reach Domino's pizza in French Hill which charged us but the food that was not received at the KD hotel. Wolt and Domino's both gave us a run arround when we sought a refund which took many hours of effort. I believe dominos and wolt are at fault with bad service, Stephanie went the extra miles dealing with this. and is familiar witht he problem. I wonder if she can call domino's to not charge me for food never received at King David hotel.

I had better memories of this hotel. It he staff makes the whole experience very disappointing
Pros:

This is a landmark hotel filled with history in the heart of Jerusalem very close to the old city .
The grounds are beautiful. I love the pool area . Also the food is outstanding there . We had amazing meals

Cons:

Unfortunately this hotel does not seem to be properly managed . Generally arrogant defensive and unhelpful staff. Apart from a couple exceptions. Hard mattresses and pillows . Expected better service given the ranking of the hotel

True 5 Start service
Pros:

The King David Hotel in Jerusalem is well known for its luxury and grandeur. The service is above and beyond what you expect from a 5 star hotel. We go every year and thanks to Mohammad and Rozalia our check in and entire stay was superb. The special room assignment that my Mom prefers was taken care of prior to check in. When we arrived they were waiting with open arms and went above and beyond to ensure all aspects of our stay were perfect. No review of the King David would be complete without a shout out for the magnificent breakfast, meals ond service of Isaac.
