החדר היה מאכזב ודורש שדרוג - השטיח במצב מזעזע והמזרון מאד .לא נוח

Go someplace else.

We have stayed at this location in the past and the last time was disappointing - however, we hoped that the management would do something based on their responses to us.

They did nothing.

the mattresses should have been replaced a few years ago - it was difficult, if not near impossible to fall asleep and was most assuredly not a restful night.

The air conditioning was set at arctic levels. The thermostat seems to be just a decoration on the wall. You an control the fan speed and the on-off switch but the temperature dial does nothing. It was uncomfortably frigid such that we ended up turning the AC off completely. That was an improvement - but since all the other rooms are probably in the same situation, it was still cold such that in August we had to ask for extra blankets!!

We have gold level membership with Hotels.com -- this gives us an upgrade and some other perks -- the receptionist insisted that the room we got was an upgrade because it is on a higher floor. I did not feel that there was any upgrade - the room is still small with an insufficient number of outlets and the furniture is shabby.

We were supposed to receive a bottle of wine. The hotel decided that a small fruit plate was a better choice -- not in my mind.

The staff was pleasant but clearly the management wants to drain this property and avoid repairs, improvements and needed maintenance.

We will not be giving them another chance and will suggest that everyone else stays away too.

no double beds- only two single

Overall, It's a nice hotel, a little old, but nice due, and close to the cinematheque (We Were there a lot cause of the film festival). The main problem we had is that we orded a room with double bed and we got two single beds that was held together in a sheet that was supposed to unite them, but we still felt the line that separates the beds we suffer from back problems so it wasn't good for our health... They tried to help us, and to give us a diffrent room but the other rooms had the same problems: all of them had only two single beds.

Not as comfortable as in the past

Having stayed here before we were sure we knew what to expect.
Check in was prompt and okay -- we have Gold level at Hotels.com and the hotel had already upgraded our room.
Cleanliness was okay, but nothing special.
Current regulations require the hotel to insure that all guests have a \"green\" passport for Covid - either vaccinated, recovered or recently tested negative. We were never asked to show this documentation.

There was no visible attempt to make sure that everyone in public spaces was masked.

We were supposed to receive a complimentary bottle of wine -- it took two trips to the reception desk to get that to happen.

Sadly, the two biggest problems were the bed which was so uncomfortable as to seriously affect our sleep -- I felt like I was sleeping on a sheet of plywood.

And the AC could not be controlled. There is a thermostat in the room but I am convinced that it is there only for show. No matter what temp we set it for - it blew at a frigid level. So that we either had an arctic blast or no AC at all.

These two issues will force us to consider future plans and look for someplace else in Jerusalem for the next time. Additionally as a tourism professional, I will have to reconsider future recommendations.

Comfortable and well located.

The room was very clean and reasonably comfortable - the furniture is quite well worn and you can see chips and nicks in the wood, some peeling plaster around the windows, etc. -- needs to be re-vamped.

The biggest problem was the airconditioning - it was impossible to set it at a comfortable temperature - it was either not cool or it was freezing and so we had frigid temps in the room all night which even the blanket wasn't enough for.

The beds were okay but rather small. An extra blanket in the closet would have been much more useful than an array of pillows.

Parking is on a space available basis - and we got there early enough to get parking in the underground garage but whoever designed that garage was just not thinking - the access is very tight - it is almost impossible to maneuver both to get in and to get out - we took the first parking spot and it took almost five minutes of back and forth inching our way to get out of the spot in order to then leave.

I have no problem returning to this property but I will park on the street - the garage is just not worth the effort.

The attentiveness of many staff was lacking as was service with a smile. Only a few staff went out of their way to ensure you were made to feel welcome and that they actually wanted you there. A smile can also go a long way. Food/breakfast was a little lacklustre and there didn't seem to be any set-up to keep the food warm. Rooms were okay but overpriced for the size of them. Location was good and a 15 minute walk to the Old City which I suppose accounts for the cost.

Not satisfactory for a 4 star hotel

Location is ideal, only about 15 mins walk to the old town. However, apart from this I would not recommend based on the price paid and being a 4 star. Half of the staff are not friendly and completely unattentive, and not helpful. The hotel has a serious problem with lack of sound proofing in the rooms, I was there 3 nights and was awoken every night. There was banging and drilling during the day as well, and no prior notice. And lastly I paid for a deluxe room, but what I got was very basic to be honest. I did query this, and was told there isn't much difference between the standard and deluxe rooms, main difference is the deluxe rooms are on higher floors. Housekeeping was fairly poor as well, items not properly stocked after cleaning, and parts of the room weren't that clean. Overall it was adequate, but I wouldn't recommend this for paying over nearly £170 a night. Oh, and the breakfast wasn't great either.

Avoid the Prima Royale!

The Prima Royale is a 50 year-old hotel, 60 years overdue for a makeover. Fortunately, they were remodeling when I was there - In the room right above me. I asked the manager about it that evening, and he said it wouldn't happen the next day. No kidding! It was Shabbat, so no one's working, but they were hard at it by 7 AM the next day. Management was unapologetic, but I'd imagine they get sorry for apologizing for a hotel that frankly, smells like a dirty ashtray with service that's reflective of a place where people just don't give a crap.

The buffet is lackluster at best, and only slightly less crappy than the piano player belting out show tunes during your meal.

And don't even think about communicating with the outside world, as the wifi only works from a 10 x 10 square foot spot in the lobby, and even if you do manage to find it, it doesn't work all that well.

When you come and go, be sure to say hi to the surly front staff who begrudgingly open the door for you while barely looking over their phones.

On the plus side, the bed was comfortable.

So when your tour bus pulls up in front of this dump, tell them to keep going to the end of the block to the Dan Panorama. You'll be happy you did.
