overall was what i expected for the price. Nice surprise was a common kitchen.

The Bad: no tv or room fridge as advertised. It is up to other guest to let new arrivals in so prepare to wait outside for someone who happens to be leaving or coming. Pointing this out to the staff was met with shrugs. They didnt care.

Great location a bit dated with a bright future.

The location of the property couldn’t have been better. Easy access or short walks to shops and restaurants. The Old City and other historical sites are about 15-20 min walks. The hotel is dated but I came to be informed that a new owner is in there and has many plans for bringing the property up to date. It’s a beautiful old building with charm so hearing this definitely makes the future much more bright for future guests.
The staff was great but short of personnel due to the ongoing war. The price was definitely reflective of the amenities and age of the place. I look forward to seeing how they bring back the charm and making it into a really nice place.

Great Hotel for Longer Stays in Jerusalem

Centrally by Jaffa St Center City located just 10 minutes walk from the Old City of Jerusalem. The hotel is conveniently surrounded by stores and restaurants with a secured locked entry code at the front entrance. The room has its own bathroom shower, heater, A/C, fridge, TV and WiFI. Coffee, tea, water is served at the lobby. The Checkin was smooth and manager responds to calls / text immediately. The rest of the hotel staff are friendly and professional. For a longer stay in Jerusalem, Zion Hotel has a great value for your money that I highly recommend this hotel.

Sad to say the the only reason I'd recommend this place is purely on location.
This place could be a so much more.
Dirty fridge that the seel had broken on.
Dirty carpets. A balcony door that you couldn't open from the outside.
Hot water only coming from the bathroom sink.
Toilet seat needed replacing as well as drainage for the shower.
Fire alarm went off early hours of this morning. No one seemed to have a clue on what they should be doing.
Staff not trained in these scenarios. (Not their fault, it's a fault on management)

Shame on Hotel.com

I wanted to cancel this booking but, I was not able to. My daughter was too scared to visit Israel after the 3 January 2020, United States drone strike near the Baghdad International Airport that targeted and killed Iranian major general Qasem Soleimani of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. But, that reason was not good enough for Hotels.com

Historic hotel near historic area but very old

I think this hotel was built centuries ago so it has a neat nastalgia (warning no elevator, lug your luggage up the stairs). And it is steps from Jaffa street and Ben Yahuda street. This is a fairly lively street with lots of parties in the streets many nights. It’s a little loud if you’re an early bird. But the only real drawback, and it’s significant enough to mark it down a couple notches, was the hotel seems to have a lot of cigarette smoke much of the time. It could be from guests smoking on the balcony, which is allowed there. Or it could be staff smoking in the laundry room.

There was a pipe leak but they fixed that. The staff was very helpful.

If you’re not allergic to smoke it would be a fine place.

Old and tired hotel with uninterested staff

The hotel is old and tired. The restaurant with umbrellas in the pic is not even connected to it. So the breakfast is served in the \"lobby\", which is the only ok space in the \"hotel\". Rooms are small, beds are rock hard, linens are old and sometimes torn. Staff was helpful with the info. But when I asked for additional blankets to make my bed softer I was told: \"There's 4 people, you have 4 blankets. I can't give you any more.\" Breakfast menu was very basic by Israel standard. No omelet, just boiled eggs, jellies in packs, 2 green salads, tuna salad, tea, coffee, cocoa. All pretty low quality. No pastries, just bread. But after guests were gone staff enjoyed their daily omelette or fried eggs with veggies! On top of everything my wife's phone was stolen from the room. Basically you get what you pay for. I'd never stay in Jerusalem in hotel cheaper than $160 per night again!

Great hotel for ease of access to Old City.

This hotel is located in a great place outside the western part of the old city. Walking (15 min.) to and from the old city is a pleasure because Jaffa Road is closed down to vehicle traffic. The road has been converted for the tram system and pedestrians, which means walking does not confine you to small sidewalks as you have access to the entire road, as long as the tram is not passing by. Safe to walk at any time of the day or night. The lobby and desk is one story up, the front entrance is always locked. 24 hour tea and Turkish coffee available, and staff always at the desk. All staff members are very friendly and easy to relate to. I left my bags right next to the desk for 8 hours while I went out after checking out of the room. Great breakfasts every morning from 8 to 10 and seating for about 30 people at a time, so you never feel crowded or rushed.

Budget hotel close to the old city

Stayed at Zion Hotel 5-12 April 2017.
Things to be wary of:
It's in a pedestrian precinct so you'll have to carry/wheel your cases at least 100m from the nearest road.
It's noisy at night, lots of bars and restaurants right outside.
The rooms are VERY basic, small, no hairdryers and very dated.
If they offer you room 309 refuse it!! It's an attic room, tiny, TV is held together with tape and the plug socket flashes blue sparks. We had to stay in it for 2 days before another twin became vacant. Really not good enough even for a budget hotel.
The breakfast is interesting 😳, you'll be fine if you like olives, tomato and cucumber salad, spicy dips, plain yoghurt etc. We had hard boiled eggs and toast every day.
There is no kettle in the room but tea/coffee/cold water are provided free in the dining room.
The staff are friendly enough but try very hard to sell trips, they are not too keen to resolve complaints either, quite aggressive in wanting to know what's wrong with the room.
Rooms at the rear are less than 2m from an apartment block under construction, dust comes in to the room and it's noisy during the day.
There is a mosquito problem if you have the window open so take repellent. I got 15 bites on the first night.
Positive things: hotel is close to the tram and the old city.
It's relatively clean.
Air con works well.
Free beverages

Jerusalem is amazing but just be aware that everyone is out to scam you, it's incredibly expensive, especially food and taxis.

The Crummiest Hotel I've Ever Stayed In

No joke, this is by far the worst hotel I've stayed in at hotel prices. I literally felt as though I was in a run-down motel in the middle of the worst neighborhood. I chose the hotel because of it's close proximity to the Old City, but it wasn't worth it. I honestly wish I could get my money back because it was so terrible: shower head falling off the wall, tiles coming up from the bathroom floor, TV in my room didn't work and staff didn't care. Also, if you're sensitive to noise, do not stay here. Besides the music on the street below (which ends at 12-midnight) you will have to dal with cleaning crews doing overnight cleanup in some of the stores below. I found it difficult to sleep.

In the end I swallowed the cost and moved to a different hotel for the last 4 days of my week-long trip. Really upset and disappointed.

Treated like family...

I came to Israel and could have stayed at any hotel. Instead I stayed at a place that treated me like a family member. The staff and management at the Hotel Zion were incredible, just salt of the earth people who made my stay more than I expected. Why? Because they actually care about their guests, taking time to help schedule tours, give directions and suggesting places to see and tours to take. They made it easy to feel at home, nice cold water in the lobby, relaxing and very comfortable sofas and chairs, awesomely fast WIFI, and a beautiful Israeli breakfast every morning with a great selection of foods, juices, coffees, teas, and good company. To many people will be critical of a hotel that's not perfect, the building is over 200 years old and has such a warm welcoming vibe to it. Is it fancy? No! Is it spotless? No! Is the bed comfortable? Incrediablely! Was the staff quick to assist with any requests? Without hesitation! Was my room cleaned everyday? Very well by very thoughtful service staff who smiled and always kept your towels, soap and shampoo stocked. Look! You need to get out and see the old city, you need to enjoy the awesome nightlife, the cafes, the restruant's and street food, the local vibe is alive and great to be around. If I had a million dollars in my pocket I'd still stay at the Hotel Zion, because they know their guests and remember your room numbers and are a joy to talk with and most of all they treat their guests like family. Best time ever!

Close to the Old City

This hotel sits in the middle of Ben Yehuda boulevard, so a taxi cannot just drop you off there. So make sure you know beforehand exactly where you are! In some ways it is nice because there is not a lot of traffic, there are a lot of shops on Ben Yehuda, it's close to Jaffa where you can get on a train, and it's about a 15 minute walk to the Old City. Don't except a fancy pants hotel, but it was fine for a crashing place while we were busy and out and about. Most of the staff was very helpful and can help you get around.

Ripped off at Hotel Zion... You've been warned!

we were double charged for our room due to an erroneous double booking via the Internet.

They showed no interest in trying to resolve the matter and to this date some three weeks after I trip we have not been reimbursed.

Rude staff, no parkng

I selected this property because of the location. We called ahead to check if parking was included and we were assured that the parking lot was right across the street. When we arrived at night in the rain we discovered that there was no parking lot. I explained that I was told that parking was available but nothing was done to correct the situation. The attendant was very rude and basically accused me of being a liar. We had to find a pay lot which ended up being an additional $15 a day. I would have definitely looked for other hotels had I known this. I know that parking is difficult in Jerusalem but I felt that we were deceived just so they would get the reservation. I was not offered anything in return for the inconvenience.

BREAKFAST CHANGE

IT WAS NICE AS USUAL. THEY CAN JUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT THEIR BREAKFAST. IN THE 5 YEARS THAT I STAYED THERE, THE BREAKFAST HAS NEVER CHANGED. EVEN IF IT IS JUST FORSERVING SCRAMBLED EGGS INSTEAD OF HARDBOILED EGGS.

Nice enough small hotel in the center

Nice to stay in the center of Jerusalem,the hotel was good enough in my opinion,breakfast was good,room was clean(but the spray that they use to refresh the room is terrible,we asked them not to spray it in our room) but since there is no lift And you have to climbe 70 steps(we counted them!) to reach the fourth floor,it would have been nice if the staff would offer to carry your luggage up once you arrive..There's a building construction outside the hotel and the work starts at 6 o'clock in the morning so next time I use this hotel(yes,I would use it again for sure) I would ask for a room on the opposite side,so that I could have a view to the street instead.

A great find

This hotel is in a great location for exploring Jerusalem. The room was very clean, beds comfortable and breakfast tasty. All we could have asked for! Great value for money.
We had a problem with our reservation, due to a fault with the web booking service not the hotel. I can't thank the hotel receptionist enough for the way he sorted things out for us. Great customer service.

Value for money to get a room in city centre

It is at the center of the city. the Mahaneh Market and the old city are within walking distance. Though the night life was thrive, the din would reduce by 11 pm and stop at midnight.

There was no telephone in the room.

We enjoyed the breakfast even though it was simple.

The small dinning area was quite cosy. Though the wifi signal was weak in the room, I could use my tablet in the dinning area any time.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was a 5-storey building without a lift. When we checked out, the staff helped us to carry our luggage down from the 3rd floor where the reception area was. They helped to book the shared taxi.

Worst service I ever had in a hotel

After two days of my check in they decided I had to pay more because we were two people in the room so instead of charging me in the morning they call the cops 4:30am.
Ofcourse the police agree with me but it was very annoying

Good location, bad hotel

The location is the only positive feature of Sion Hotel.

The negatives are:

1. It's very basic and rooms are shabby/dirty;
2. Bathrooms are neglected;
3. No elevator - narrow, steep stairs and no help with your luggage;
4. Very noisy at night, every night, until the early hours;
5. Wi Fi doesn't work in rooms and is often down;
6. Nowhere to store your luggage - which is left in an open area if you want to check-out and explore; and
7. Staff are not very helpful - except when it comes to recommending their \"friends\" over-priced taxi/tours/guide services.

I'm not staying here again - it's only one step from a dump.
