זו הפעם הרביעית שלנו במלון אבל כנראה האחרונה
Pros:

נקי מאוד, צוות מאוד אדיב, ארוחת בוקר עשירה

Cons:

החליפו מזרונים לבקשה מאוד. לא הצלחתי לישון בלילה ובעלי קם עם גב כואב. הרעש מהרחוב הפריע לשינה

Terrible experience - be aware
Pros:

I am a member of Setai - HerbertSamuel and entitled to 15% discount on my month birthday so i booked in Jerusalem 31-5 to 1-6 2026
At check-in, no 15% discount.
The people at the counter claim they can not do anything with this reservation and i need to call the reservation center.
I did, but long waiting time pushed me to give up. I here to enjoy.
So i decided to pay the full amount and start my Jerusalem program.
The lady at reception, Shani, contacted her manager Adi and explained this.
This guy was helpful and actually did what the receptionist had to do from the beginning and called me to confirm the refund of 15% on my credit card.
All good.
Room comfort was OK. Breakfast OK - nothing special.
The next day, check out and i really saw on my bill the refund.
On our way back, i get a call from the hotel telling me that the hair-dryer in my room disappeared and that i will be charged 250SH.
Woow - i am a thief !! I am not even sure that the hair-dryer was there at the first place. Imagine how furious i am when i see the charge on my phone.
I call back, ask to speak to a manager. No manager available the guy says. This is not true. There is ALWAYS a manager on duty 24/7 in every hotel.
I insisted telling him i will come back the the hotel.
After a few mins, i am talking to the manager on duty and he starts to explain me that if something is missing they charge.
This is TOTALLY unacceptable from a hotel this level.
I explain the i did not take anything out of my room and that i am deeply hurt from this attitude.
The manager assured me that he will cancel the charge and refund.
A few days later, i got both the birthday refund and the 250SH charge back.
Despite that, I was VERY disappointed with this event and will never go back to Herbert Samuel hotels.

THIS IS NOT A WAY TO TREAT YOUR CUSTOMERS.

If you don't take care of your customers, somebody else will.

Pros:

המיקום מעולה .
החדר נקי ונוח.
ארוחות הבוקר מצוינות.

Cons:

זה לא כ"כ קשור למלון אבל יש בעיה עצומה בעניין חניה.
שאלתי אם אפשר להכנס לחניון התת קרקעי ואמרו לי שאין...
אך ראיתי בעצמי רכב יורד לחניה...
לא יפה

הדבר היחיד שהיה בסדר במלון זה היה המיקום שלו קרוב להכל

Cons:

המלון מאוד רועש כי הוא נמצא במרכז העיר
וצוות המלון לא אדיב ולא שמחים כל כך לתת שירות וניקיון 5 מתוך 10
