My wife and I stayed in the King David for one week, in May. Our experience far exceeded our best expectations. Our room was very comfortable. Nice touch of bottled water, chocolates, fruits, and cakes. Mini bar stocked. Bedding was very comfortable. Bathroom was fine. We found the service at the breakfast room, poolside and front desk to be excellent.... More

Our trip to Israel was a last minute decision. We once again depended on our travel agent to pick the hotel and tour guide. The hotel king David in Jerusalem was a very pleasant surprise. The check in service was friendly and efficient. The room are large and very comfortable with a spacious bathroom. The early morning concierge was not... More

I'm not sure there has ever been a more disappointing hotel. The location is stunning, the history epic, the views legendary; everything else… oi gevalt! Things started badly from the get-go: the flippant valet to park our car (who moved every single adjustable part of my driver's seat), the complimentary drink that did not include 'sparkling wine', the bottle of...

Dear Bochan Traveller, Your extended and remarkably creative composition enjoyed an unprecedented number of readers at the hotel, as by all means it is amusing, enlightening and mostly, original. At the end of your review, we simply had to question wether indeed you had reviewed the right hotel; with our utmost effort, we could hardly recognize ourselves. Constructive feedback is... More

After our stay at the Ramada-which I couldn't leave quick enough! walking into the King David was pure pleasure and a breath of fresh air! the service, the rooms, the staff and the history were amazing- it is also within walking distance to a nice little shopping mall called the malmilla. The King David is a must stay while in... More

We had the pleasure of staying recently at what can only be described as the iconic King David Hotel, whose history is inextricably linked with the city and indeed country. The sense of history hits you as soon as you enter the foyer. We had booked a deluxe top floor Old City room, and the view is indeed breathtaking at... More

A wonderful hotel that has been host to many famous guests for years. The lobby is a wonderful place to watch people. The rooms are charming and the service is excellent. I stayed here in 2002 and it is the most perfect hotel.

We enjoyed our visit to this historic hotel. Our room overlooking the Old City was spacious and of a very high standard, we loved the original deco features and appreciated the 'turn-down' service. An extensive breakfast started the day well, the choice was amazing. the desk staff were very helpful. The restaurant was less impressive; the food was pedestrian and... More

As soon as the decision to visit was decided so was the choice of hotel. You know going in it is expensive and you alone have to weigh the pros and cons of this choice. For us, as first time visitors and a love of historic hotels this made the decision very easy. We are still here at the half-way... More
