Housekeeping lacked attention to detail. Toilet kept running after flush in middle of night. Called front desk and maintenance stopped the water. Next morning toilet would not flush. Spa opened late and did not return my text as the front desk said. Woman at spa desk surly and rude. No appts available. At check out some confusion on payment as I had never used this app before. Settled. My error but could have been handled better by hotel staff.

History and old world charm

This amazing opulant hotel is steeped in history. Many world leaders & famous celebrities have stayed here over the years. The interior lounge and dinig areas are beautiful, the rooms luxurious, & the amenities are of a very high standard.
Wonderful buffet breakfast, sumotuous, served by friendly professional staff.
I would like to Helda & Nizar for their cheerful pleasant manner & helpful service.
A wonderful experience.

I had a wonderful stay at the King David Hotel. The hotel is a perfect mix of classic elegance and modern comfort. The pool area is a true highlight—beautifully landscaped, with plenty of loungers and a crystal-clear pool that’s hard to leave.

I hate leaving a bad review, but if you are sabbath observant, look elsewhere. The staff turned off the lights in our room, despite the Shabbat sign on the door. This ruined a nice evening when I had to go back down the stair and locate a someone to fix the problem. I never received an apology from the management, This is not the quality one expects from a \"5-Star\" hotel. try the Orient or the Citadel instead.

Old world history

One week stay in the king David was a pleasurable experience. The staff was exceptional and helpful. The hotel has old world charm and an unbelievable history. Just walking though the halls shows the history of Israel and the different diplomats that stayed throughout the years. Would definitely stay there again!

King David November 2023

Spent four night there. There was a small war going on down south, in Gaza, however, not an impact at this fine property. Safety never a concern at the King David.

There is an extremely outrageous thing going on in Israel . Non citizens Tourists don’t pay taxes but if they meet an israelie girl and she sleep in the same room , now you have to pay the taxes. Many hotels ignore the Israelis to avoid the outrageous TAX but king David receptionist insisted to charge me th VAT That’s almost theft . The PR guy came and saves the situation .

Historic backdrop and location is a given.
Garden Room with view of old city walls was nice.
Room amenities were very poor. A small outdated LG TV with poor connection and limited channels. Small old refrigerator that did not cool well. Limited electric sockets in room and none in bathroom. Free mini bar was insulting. Check-in was chaotic, time consuming. We had come to property a day prior March 18, 2023, to confirm an early check in for March 19th as it was our wedding day at 5:30 pm on March 19th. . Reception confirmed early check in for 2:00 pm. however the room was not read until after 3:00 pm. I the bride had no time to shower nor do my hair in time for wedding photos, videography; In fact, we were late for our own wedding!. There were many employees but no attention was given to the fact that we are newlyweds. We were offered water or grapefruit juice only. Breakfast was way below expectations in comparison to other 3-4 star hotels in Jerusalem with hovering wait staff. Room service average and food was below expectations. The gym was an afterthought. In short, we wasted four nights, 20,000 NIS and honeymoon days that we can never get back. Overall oppression environment. I will never recommend the king David hotel in Jerusalem. Glad to have relocated our honeymoon at a true luxury Resort Hotel in the south of Israel.

The build is beautiful. However, the stay is not what it used to be. Breakfast is a fraction of what it was pre-covid. We booked what we thought was a room with breakfast. We went to breakfast every day and no one ever asked for our room # until the last day. When we checked out, they said we had breakfast one day and there was a charge of $64 for that. We said \"but we had breakfast every day and no one ever said there was an extra charge\". So they charged us $387 for breakfast for six days which we assumed was included. Don't hotels tell you when you are incurring an extra charge (e.g., ordering a drink in the lobby or getting a spa treatment)? Several times, we called the guest services for something missing in our room. It took multiple reminders before we got it. The minibar (now \"complimentary\") was never replenished in the six days we were there. Next time, we'd try another of Jerusalem's luxury hotels.

Extremely Pleasant Stay, Very Hospitable.

It was extremely pleasant and enjoying hospitality, wonderful welcoming at the reception particularly whereby you can sit down and you are offered a beverage and a choice of sweets. Had been attended by very professional and welcoming. Karawi, who showed me to the room and the facilities was excellent. The service, cleanliness, facilities and all personnel are all there is attendance and do a very good job.

Consistently at the top in Jerusalem

The King David remains best of the best in Jerusalem. Excellent service. Rooms were clean and all hotel staff was professional, attentive and helpful. Friday night dinner was just ok but our server Maher went out of his way to accommodate us with off the menu items. Israeli breakfasts are usually good and the King David does not disappoint. Our server Isaac did a terrific job. Front desk was also very helpful and accommodating.

Poor and overpriced experience

There is a prestige atmosphere to the hotel, but nothing that you can't get in a 5min visit in the lobby.
The room is old (for better and worse) - we had a broken tap, water didn't flush, and the shower temperature changed randomly from freezing cold to burning hot.
We asked to switch rooms but were told nothing was available- shameful.
For breakfast, friday was really good, but there was no reference in the booking that the same variety we had on friday won't be available for Saturday.

Disappointed 5 Star hotel

This was supposed to be a five star hotel however I would say it is way overpriced for what I expected. We sat outdoor terrace to have coffee and small meal the server never came back after our food was brought. They lost our luggage we waited for 3 hours in our room for our luggage and my husband had to go down to reception to ask about it therefore we were unable to freshen up and waisted several hours that we could have been site seeing. This hotel seems designed more for business type meetings than tourist coming to explore the area. Would not stay here again if visiting Jerusalem.

Wonderful tradition in Jerusalem

This is a beautiful and historic hotel. We were upgraded to a suite with balconies overlooking the Old City. Phenomenal room and fantastic views. The staff was very pleasant but had a few service hiccups. After waiting for over an hour for our luggage and being unable to call the lobby, I retrieved our suitcases. Also, when entertaining guests on the outdoor deck we all ordered white wine and received red wine. Not a big deal but just a lack of attention to detail. I loved the experience and will stay here again.

Amazing Hotel

I had the best time at this iconic hotel. The staff were overall impeccable-they emailed ahead with questions to make the stay fantastic, the front desk was so polite, we got an upgrade, the gym and pool were wonderful (we used them both daily), and the breakfast was impressive. Again the staff were friendly and helpful. The location is great, the lobby is breathtaking as are the views of the hotel from the city and the city from the hotel.
My only small issue was I had to ask daily for coffee to be refilled and it usually took two calls to do it. It was never an issue as I’m totally spellbound by this place but it is worth mentioning. I usually judge a hotel based on whether I’d come back. For me Jerusalem means Hotel David and I will never even look at another hotel objection when I’m near Jerusalem.

Historic hotel near Old City

Overall, we had a pleasant stay at King David Hotel. The breakfast spread was very nice except on Saturday (Sabbath, hence no fresh bread, fresh juice or toaster). It was easy to arrange day trips to various must see and must do sites. The concierge is well-informed and helpful. We did a private tour to Madasa and the Dead Sea and a small group tour to Bethlehem and the Old City. Cabs were readily available but we had to ask most of the drivers to turn on the meter or asked how much they wanted for the trip. There are some good eats in Jerusalem.
