Staying at the Ritz Jerusalem was a very nice experience. The rooms are great for a 3-star superior and the staff is fantastic, with special attention from the restaurant personnel, lead by Jamal. Front desk is attentive and pleasant. Location is great to access the Old City, being close to both Damascus and Herodes Gates, a short walk from the hotel. Located in the Arab side of Jerusalem, local businesses are great as the prices are for the locals, not tourists. Food at the Ritz is also very good and we enjoyed both breakfast and dinner buffets!

We stayed in room 120. Its a small hotel, but it is cozy, clean and provide basic amenities in the room. Size of the room is small but there is an indoor balcony as a sitting area where we can put our big bags there. Walking distance to the places of interest and worship such as Al-Aqsa and Omar mosque, Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Western Wall. Also shops selling souvenirs and local delicacies. It also provides a wide variety of menus for its buffet breakfast and dinner. A must to drop by the rooftop coffee house for a panoramic view of the city of Jerusalem.

Room Tip:Use the stairs to go down as the lift is quite small and slow. Love the bath soap provided.

Very well located, quiet and close to the Damascus Gate, with very attentive staff in the restaurant. The rooms, without being very large, were quite complete, but they lacked plugs in the bathroom, the hairdryer was in the room itself and there were no plugs next to the headboards of the bed. Very appropriate if you want to stroll through the Old City of Jerusalem.

Very comfortable place to stay if you want to be near Jerusalem. You can simply walk everywhere and location cannot be beat. The food is excellent and without a doubt the best coffee. The room is comfortable with a great balcony you can enjoy all night.

Hotel is outside the Old City in a nice Arab neighborhood,but within 10 minutes walking into the Old City through the Herod Gate. We had group, communal meals that were very good. Only 2 drawbacks were the telephone booth shower and no A/c to cool off a very hot room. Room had an outdoor balcony, and we had to leave the door open to get cool air into the room, but we got street noise as a result. We were a bit concerned about safety while sleeping as a result, but all was fine.

Really enjoying our stay. Described as a 3 star hotel, can I say we have stayed in far worse 4 star ones recently in Jordan and Israel. Room is utilitarian but we do have a nice balcony. What we really love is the exceptional service in the dining room. Nail and Yasser in particular are among the best I’ve ever seen - and I’m including a lot of 5 star establishments there. Intuitive on many occasions and hard working.

Not the most modern hotel, but the staff were fantastic, we were so well looked after, the rooms were clean and the food was beautiful. Hugely appreciated their care with my food allergy. Would highly recommend it as a place to stay if you are visiting Jerusalem.

My sister and I booked a room for one night! Amazing Location, 7min walk from Damascus Gate! We arrived at noon and had the surprise to have her room ready, Keys prepared, everything ready for Us (Efficient and express Check in) The agent at the front deak was very friendly and helpful. Warm welcome from all the staff from the hotel... After an interesting day exploring Jerusalem, we came back to the hotel and had dinner. It was a buffet and Cost $20, a large selection of vegetables, salads, cheese + dessert! Same here the staff at the restaurant were very welcoming and attentive. Breakfast was great: buffet + snacks that we could take away! A huge thank you for all the team. specially Mahr for his kindness and hospitality! We felt like home! We will come back!!!!

I arrived at this hotel, which was booked through my travel agent and found the whole place locked up and dark. As I was wondering what to do a man in very dirty work clothes told me that the hotel was closed and I would be taken to another hotel by taxi. I'd never heard of this other hotel and the man could not tell me why the hotel was closed. He insisted that I get into a taxi and go to the other hotel, I felt very uncomfortable as there was no one else around and I had no idea who this person was. I decided to leave and booked myself into another hotel of my choice.
