Public embarrassment - never again

It was the worse treatment I have experienced in more than 30 years traveling around the world and staying all kinds of hotels. I was discriminated bc religion/ gender /mistreated, disrespected, humiliated in public at dinner not once but twice by the very rude impolite man named Muhammad who didn’t have the decency to talk with respect instead screaming around the dinner room out and laud that I walked out and I didn’t pay for the dinner the night before when I clearly communicated with the front desk before get there and was informed that it could be one pay at the restaurant or be send to my room. So as I walked into the room and was asked what is your room number I thought it was automatically sent to my room like manny hotels around the world. But no it wasn’t. Nobody called / text email me instead next night when I went back the rude man screaming right in front of the other man Abed who tried to make better by asking me to go take a walk I left the room and cried by the elevator bc the embarrassment.
After I talked with Raya from front desk who was nice. But they did have a chance to demand the Muhammad to apologize in person but didn’t. I don’t need to stay in this hotel I CHOSE IT but never again that’s for sure. Then the other man approached me
By the elevator and offered the “be quite gift” of free dinner. I don’t want free dinner I want to be treat with respect as a human first of all. I am grateful that I don’t belong to this kind of society. Good bye.

Comfortable stay with friendly staff and nice gym!

Great place to stay and great breakfast and I suggest getting dinner too since Jerusalem does not have a lot of dining options that might not fit your pallet if you’re not from there. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful and I love the gym they have here.

Up and downs

I did not like using two different elevators to go to breakfast, one goes 6 -up and the other goes 6 - down because they are on a slope. We waited for the gifts to to open at 8:30 and had our cab wait because we had 3 post cards to mail, at 8:45 they had not shown up and we had to leave. I was not happy! Otherwise it was the best hotel of the 3 we stayed at.

Geared to tours, but first-rate service and rooms

We were there in slow period right after Christmas. On check in they upgraded us to a room overlooking the old city from the top floor. All the service was courteous and helpful. Dinner is a large buffet operation. Pretty decent and large selection for about 150 shekels. This hotel is in a quiet neighborhood (Ammunition Hill) near university so there is no place nearby to eat if you come back before dinner. About 30-40shekel cab ride to gates of old city or walk 12 minutes to Ammunition Hill stop of light rail and ride 3 stops to the gate of old city. Most rooms have a nice balcony, but view depends on the floor and direction.

Overall you hear through the hotel load service people yelling loudly in Arabic for no reason.

They don't care about privacy and txt message you.

NO AC which made the stay in the room and sleeping there very hard!!

Avoid this hotel if you require AC. The room with the balcony had mainly a view of the ugly roof which I have no idea why management doesn't paint it with a Jerusalem theme or grass it.

Reception desk was cooperative.

Breakfast has a very large selection but the guy preparing the eggs doesn't speak English and the service people yelling in Arabic with their hands in the air is not so professional... the tables were never set properly or cleaned as needed.

I loved staying here for what was supposed to be 9 nights however there was some problem with the online booking with Expedia and I was supposed to stay for 9 nights but I was called by the hotel front desk asking when I was checking on on the 8th night! I showed them my booking and they said the booking was for 8 nights not 9 that was showing on my Expedia booking. I did not know what to do and they wanted to charge me $186 for 1 night after I had already spent $1,500 with them. The assistant manager Muhammad was condescending and unhelpful and threatened to charge me for a late checkout if I didn’t remove my belongings. I said the cost was not part of what I had intended before booking the hotel and that I would be forced to find another hotel last minute for 1 night. I ended up having to walk 40 minutes to the Ritz Hotel with all my bags..I had also booked other services that was offered inside the hotel so I had spent close to $2,000 and to suddenly be treated like a 2nd class citizen was shocking to say the least. I am still waiting for a response from the manager and would like some form of compensation for the treatment given.

Comfortable Executive rooms - v busy breakfasts

A trip to see family in the local area so very convenient for us but a way out of town for the sights of Jerusalem. The light railway is convenient and fast into downtown Jerusalem. The hotel’s executive rooms are very comfortable and well appointed with balconies overlooking Jerusalem. Worth investing in those as other rooms and corridors are quite tired and need refurbishment The Executive Lounge was very quiet but service was excellent particularly from Ariella. Breakfast in the dining room offers great choice and Abel helped my husband who needs gluten free options but the experience was spoilt by the overwhelming number of large tour groups who make it very difficult for the individual guests no matter what time you go down in the morning! Perhaps the Executive Lounge should offer a limited buffet for their guests who wish to have a relaxing start to the day as in most Lounges. However, a lovely stay and we will definitely return each time we visit our family.

Closest nice hotel to our children

This was the third time we have stayed at the Dan Jerusalem, which is the closest hotel to Neve Yaakov, where our children live - about a 13-minute drive. We have been satisfied with the hotel, its staff, the room and amenities, including a very nice breakfast buffet, on each of our stays. In addition, we had the dinner buffet on two nights of our stay, and found the variety, quality and tastiness of the food to be very good. It is likely that we will stay at the Dan Jerusalem again.

A hotel good for tours, but a questionable for oth

It is a good hotel for tour groups, but it only offers one very limited menu restaurant outside of the $50 dollar buffet at night. I ate pasta 3 for nights. It has no other restaurants within walking distance. Also, the outdoor pool was not open despite the 80+ weather which was one of the reasons we chose the hotel. It did have a great gym and a nice view. Make sure you buy extra water or be prepared to pay $6 a bottle.

Dated, overpriced hotel

On the surface the hotel looks great - lovely reception and pool area but the rooms are in a terrible state. I was staying on the 1st floor - my room had holes in the ceiling, shoddy workmanship everywhere and to top it all off, got an electric shock on plugging in the TV. Room was not as pictured at all! Poor chambermaid service - quick bed make and thats it.
Also, make your complimentary bottle of water last your whole stay - it is not replaced. There is also no minibar or room service despite the description. Maybe Israel is just very expensive but for the price paid (over £160 per night) I expect a lot more - have stayed in far better Travelodge hotels!
The staff at check-in were rude and on trying to check out, had to wake the night staff up (sleeping on the job)!
Stay somewhere else or expect a shabby room.

They were having some air conditioning issues and we went through about five rooms before we found a room with air conditioning that worked. I had requested a high floor room which they did not give us despite the fact that I had ordered a suite and spent a little extra to get something nice.

This didnt live up to the promotional material !

This was a family pool holiday with young children so the pool was really important. However, the photo was deceiving and the pool was not as grand or as nice as the photo made it look. Also the pool was in need of repair with the tiles in the pool coming away and for some reason they had not grouted the titles properly so they were sharp on your feet and very uncomfortable. The Life Guards were really overzealous with laying down the law with rules that were not published. This made it a very unwelcoming experience and put a damper on the main holiday activity. I had to complain. The food for a 5* hotel was average. The room although the beds were made was left untidy. Also the hotel is way out from the main centre so taxis were expensive for trips although we eventually found out there was a tram nearby and that made trip much more reasonable. 2 days before we left they decided to close the cafe and lounge area and rip up the carpet which was strange. The next issue was leaving and asking reception to book us a return taxi to the airport. The hotel instead of providing a service to their guest wanted to rip them off by adding on a 100-shekel admin fee to the taxi fare which I complained about and they eventually retracted. We have stay in a number of hotels in Israel and this is meant to be a 5* hotel - really it is a low 4* and only gets their star rating because they provide facilities - however are the facilities up to the standard of a 5* hotel not in my opinion.

The management was very apologetic and very eager to please
I sure this was a complete unfortunate situation butt hey we're very helpful
If possible Try to upgrade to an executive room. The slight increase in fee is well worth it

A pampering place outside of the Old City

Dan Jerusalem has been an excellent home base for our travels in Israel. To get to the Old City you can drive, ask the hotel to call a cab or take a short walk to access the light rail. The light rail is only 3 stops to Jaffa Gate.If you're driving, it is easy to connect to highways to explore northern and southern Israel. The staff is friendly, rooms are clean with many offering wonderful views of the Old City. Since we live in a busy city, it was nice to be away from the crowds. Want to relax?

Spent what I thought was a lot to stay in what I thought would be a first class hotel. I was disappointed from the first interaction. Several weeks before I arrived I was told not to worry about making reservations for dinner there (holiday eve) and could do it upon check in. When I arrived I was told there was no room at dinner and I shoukd have done it weeks ago. When I explained that I tried, I was dismissed. After talking to 2 other people someone helped us \"squeeze\" into a $80 per person dinner, which was bountiful but lacked quality. Once there we were told it did not include regular wine (sweet Magen David type wine was provided in a small bottle).
The facilities are in need of renovation. The rooms are dated and dingy. There was one reachable electric outlet. Dust was on all surfaces, and the blow dryer was broken. At checkin we were told we were upgraded to a room we had actually ordered ?!?

Hallways were cluttered with trash throughout our stay. The grounds themselves (pool/lawn/spa) were tidy but not in the best condition - grass patchy, pool w old tiles, and spa looked like a1980s gym. Towels we're thin and bare. I was not expecting the David Tower but for over $400 a night I was expecting better accommodations.
On a positive note - the wait staff was kind and helpful in the dining too. Will not be recommending or returning.

A little far away, kind of rude, and a rip off

Certain members of the staff were somewhat rude and off putting but not all. The location is kind of far from the old city but is close to the highway. The food prices are way too high considering that the food was just mediocre.

Nice hotel but rooms need updating.

Overall, very pleasant stay. Location is in east Jerusalem around the corner from Mount Scopus but very far from everything else. Dinner buffet was fantastic one night and very mediocre the next. Breakfast excellent every day. Rooms need updating.

needs to be renovated

Hotel decoration is a bit old needs to be renewed.
In swimming pool area lots of thrown empty plastic bottles or glasses, on children play area little peaces of broken glass...is staff only cleaning in the evening? A bit surprising for a hotel of this category. Enjoyed very much our stay in jerusalem but a bit disappointed by the hotel.

the location is not very good, not in the center. the room was old and not big enough for a family. the pool and tha breakfast are great. the kids loved it, but i think that the hotel is not good enough to be a5 stars hotel.

Great place in Jerusalem- excellent Value

Great hotel neat Hebrew University. It's in a residential area but within walking distance of grocery and coffee shops, and there is a falafel stand a few steps away. It's also only a short cab ride to the Old City. Hotel includes free parking and lavish breakfast. I was in an economy room and did not find the bed super comfy as in other rooms I've stayed in before. Great pool and exercise room.

Disappointed stay

I wrote to the Chairman Michael Federmann. I told him my experience at the hotel. If you can do something for me I will tell you in detail what happened, otherwise I won't tell you.

Nice comfortable stay

Nice comfortable stay. A bit out of the way to all city has to offer. Service was terrific, very spacious room, always clean and made up early. Phenomenal breakfast with super variety of delicacies.
