New Imperial Hotel Jerusalem

I stayed here for 5 days in a single room only meant for one person and it was great.||The building is located right next to the Jaffa Gate which I believe is the only gate where taxis can drop you off at. It is a about:||- 8-12 minute walk to Masjid Al Aqsa|- 7-10 minute walk to the Western Wall|- 7-10 minute walk to the Holy Church of Sepulchre||The hotel entrance is down alley that's under the hotel. Not on a street. Just look for an opening that has 3 bars in the ground. Or just ask a shopkeeper, they are nice and will know.||The accommodations are nice, but rustic. It's an older building in the old city, so just set your expectations lower than say a hotel in Europe or the States.||However the hotel staff charm and knowledge is unbeatable. They are so nice and have resources (taxis, local guides, where to eat, etc) all ready for you if need be. And it feels personal, as if they used all these services themselves.||The rooftop is nice and perhaps nicer when it's not summer with the sun blazing out. I would suggest if they could get like a cover so people could sit, that would be great.||They only offered breakfast when I was there and it was very nice. Very Mediterranean, but they had some dishes like asian fried rice, pasta, etc that were also not so traditional. In my opinion, very good for the area as it was light, fresh, and good for the weather.||It is a busy area so expect the classics of living in a city, but nothing unbearable in my honest assessment.||Remember you are going to be out most of the day seeing sites, eating, and enjoying the city that all you will really want is a nice cozy room for you to rest and reenergize in the morning.||Pro tip for all travelers: Bring a water bottle and fill at the station before you leave. It will save you some cash and keep you from being dehydrated while venturing the old city.

This period hotel was an amazing find, in the Old City of Jerusalem. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The rooms are excellently presented. Spotlessly clean and very good for the single traveller or couples (with double rooms). The free breakfast is exceptional both hot and cold meals. |Check in and out was seamless. I will definitely stay here again. Price very competitive and great value.

Where to begin...so many things to like about this hotel! Location CAN NOT be beat as you are literally steps inside the Yaffe Gate, able to watch to comings and goings of thousands of people all day long. From outside you may question this hotel as its exterior walls are hundreds of years old but once inside, it is a sea of tranquility. Very comfortable, well appointed, coffee and water available, super friendly and helpful front desk staff. I had a great room with a balcony facing the Jaffe Gate...excellent hot water pressure, clean...comfortable and yes, very quiet...even though I faced the street. Hotel has wonderful roof deck with great views and breakfast was included and well received! Thank you!||Short walk to the Western Wall and right near the Arab market, plenty to do in this area. At the time of writing of this review, tensions are relatively high in the Old City but I didn't seem nor hear any trouble over a couple of days there. As one guide told me "right now, there are more guns than tourists in Jerusalem"... Still an amazing, marvelous journey thru history not to be missed.||The New Imprerial Hotel is a great starting point...and prices are GREAT! Shalom!

Location. Location. Plus service and cleanliness. This hotel checks so many boxes for the visitor wanting easy access to the most visited sites in Jerusalem: The Old City (this hotel sits WITHIN the walls), the Western Wall (5-minute walk), and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher (3-minute walk). The staff is helpful with luggage, restaurants, tourist sites, and any questions about the room itself. The rooms are pristine and fully equipped with amenities. The beds are extremely comfortable. The complimentary breakfast is a feast!

If you like unique travel lodging, this is the place for you. It is beautifully decorated and the staff were very friendly - especially Audi (not sure about the name spelling). The rooms are not fancy, but the common areas are wonderful! The a/c worked great and the room was quiet overnight - but the location is in the heart of the activity right by the Jaffa Gate. If you want to stay in the Old City, Jerusalem, this is a great option!

Location is awesome! Receptionist Leonardo was very helpful and friendly....decent breakfast spread included but wish the eggs were warmer. The hotel offers a good menu at the restaurant downstairs. The hotel ambience consists of interesting artifacts collected over many years. The rooms are dated...needs good touch up and some good housekeeping. Would recommend it as it is right near Jaffa Gate with an awesome view from the roof top! Good value for money

Other than the squeaky bed, the room was ok, but the street noise is terrible! There isn't a lot the hotel can do about it. Another person, who stayed in another room also complained. I asked to be moved to a quieter room and they said they are all noisy like that. Some nights are worse than others. | Our first night there, after getting almost no sleep on the airplane the previous night, the street cleaner started at 2:30 am. It was very loud, along with people shouting back and forth over the noise of the machine. That lasted 1 hour. Then at 4:30 am deliveries started with the beeping noise of vehicles and loud voices and that lasted 1 hour. Then at 6:30 am there was more shouting and noise as people started to move around on the street. | It is a good location if you want to see the Old City, as it is just inside the Jaffa Gate, but if noise bothers you it would be better to stay somewhere else. | The New Imperial isn't cheap. The breakfast is ok, but not great compared to 4 and 5 star hotels I've stayed at in Jerusalem. Be aware, there is no elevator and there are no street level rooms. | The roof top view is ok, but if you want to see the Dome of the Rock you need to look between a building and a smokestack. | Some of the receptionists are good with advice and some are not. I got poor advice on 2 occasions and great advice on 2 occasions.

Interesting hotel, No elevator, mores of steep stairs, It is in a great location, just beside the Jaffa gate The rooms pictured here are not the rooms you will get unless you pay a lot more. The regular rooms reminded me of a youth hostel when I backpacked around Europe in the 90's. The breakfast buffet is amazing and with a great selection, the staff are cool too...
