ザ デイビッド シタデル エルサレム(The David Citadel Jerusalem)

Hotel is in an excellent location next to the old city of Jerusalem. However, customer service and experience can be better.

Ridiculously overpriced. The little things - attention to detail was lacking. Bedroom lampshade was dusty, alarm clock not set to the right time. No mini bar. Had to request a turn down service - no chocolates. Could not watch a movie from the beginning. Spa closed for renovations. Pool bar closed during the week. I was their for one night and wanted to spoil myself - it was not worth it. However the staff and service were outstanding as is the position.

Shower drain didn't work, causing a nasty flood throughout the entire bathroom. A strong smoke smell the second night we were there.

The overall stay at David Citadel was average. I want to say that Israel is very expensive, and naturally we paid up for the hotel. The location was fantastic. Easy walking to the Old town, and I cannot complain. The hotel itself was a bit run down, and the service was really average. I have trouble with the hotel restaurant with NOT serving anything HOT on Sabbath, and its only cold fish and no meat. I understand its a custom, but other outside restaurants do. Anyway, I was quite disappointed with the menu, as after a long day, you would want to stay in the hotel and rest.

This hotel is very dated and needs updating other than rooms that have been other than air con and pillows.. The common areas are really dirty and unpleasant. Pool furniture badly ripped and stained. Filth on floor that is still there days later. Rooms were upgraded as air con was terrible in first rooms. Noisy still in suites, meaning impossible to sleep with it on. The pillows need throwing away. It is unacceptable how dirty the pool in particular was, though dirt in other areas remained too. Staff seem oblivious.

I was completly disspointed about this hotel, its supposed to be a five start hotel, is a pretty expensive hotel more than 550 per night. The rug was diry on mi arrival, the courtins had wholes on them, the bed was badly done, you cpould not turn of the light completly in the room, the AC stoped working in the middle of the night. I do not reccomend staying here, and more under that price.

The stay was terrible. The pictures on websites don’t correspond what actually provided. The rooms are dirty and badly maintained. When we arrived, the first room was provided and there was broken glass on floor that I injured my foot with. After we requested to switch room. Second room was very dirty as well. On top of that there was smell of peeing. That is the most disgusting stay. It definitely not 5 star hotel. Personal is very rude. Food was bad as well. I had orange juice with taste of soap, my husband had sandwich that tasted terribly.

I have stayed at this property many times over the years. I think that now all the common areas are looking very dated and worn and that all the furnishings in the common areas should be replaced and updated.

The staff,food and location of the Hotel are great.
