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.

A Lovely Hotel / Experience
Pros:

The King David is the nicest hotel in Jerusalem. It is historic, has impeccable service, and is only handicapped by dated local customs (side eye towards the lack of a cheeseburger on the menu).

We stayed for several. nights and had no major issues and would stay here again if we were to visit.

It was like a Dream
Pros:

Our stay at the King David Jerusalem was absolutely exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with genuine warmth and professionalism. The hotel is elegant, rich in history, and perfectly maintained.
The rooms were beautiful and comfortable, the food was outstanding, and the breakfast was one of the best we’ve ever had. Every member of the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for.
Thanks Again

Pros:

The pool area

Cons:

Check-in took 20mn. 1 guy to do so and that’s it’s that’s not market standard for this type of hotels.

I sent an email ahead of arriving, never received an answer. Their WhatsApp system is automated and doesn’t give real answer.

Last billing, I will need to call them because what they debited my account of, doesn’t match what I should have paid.
