The King David is THE place to stay in Jerusalem. It is an exquisite hotel and perfectly situated. I booked the basic room through the Leading Hotels of the World website as it was difficult to book through Dan Hotels. When we checked in at 1:00PM we were astounded to see that they had upgraded us to a magnificent suite... more

If you want style, elegance, beauty and history stay here. The food was lovely, the location perfect, the view beautiful. We saw some politians and history in action. If you want all the above, stay here, I loved it and will stay here again. If you want a modern, perfectly renovated, designer label, anonymous place this is not the right... more

We stayed here for 5 days in August. The service was very nice, trying hard to accommodate--for example, they traded our two rooms for a quiet, corner suite (although, later, we realized that in doing so, we lost a bathroom). We found the hotel understaffed, especially for the 700+ dollars we were paying, nightly. More than once, the concierge disappeared... more

We were treated to a stay here for a family event, and while the KD is full of character, there are nicer places to stay for the same price. There is an abundance of staff ready to sidle up to you at every turn, managing to be both obsequious and patronising at the same time. Yet when we arrived to... more

As an Israeli I was sad to see how average and in bad shape the King David hotel has become. It is indeed an iconic hotel and it's days as a deluxe 5 star experience are gone. We went to Jerusalem since I wanted to treat my partner to a weekend in his favorite city, and Jerusalem is indeed amazing,... more

The King David is an iconic hotel, as it was the British Headquarters whilst Israel was under British administration, and I wanted to stay here principally for that reason. Apart from that, you would probably be better off at the Citadel (which was where Condoleeza Rice was staying while we visited) or one of the soon opening luxury hotels which... more

I had a pleasant stay at the King David -- not great, not terrible, just fine. The location can't be beat, and it feels very safe, but I think the glory days of this hotel have passed. My room had an amazing view of the Old City, but the decor was average and the bathroom was not updated recently. My... more

After reading some of the negative reviews, watching the pictures on the poor Dan Hotels Web site and a disappointing experience at the Dan Tel Aviv, I was a little apprehensive. I was wrong, since the stay at the King David was delightful. The hotel is in an upscale area close to all the major sites. Interesting and unique decoration:... more

When we arrived we explained that we were on honeymoon and asked for the nicest room in the price range of what we had booked (the cheapest room per night was $400). The room we were given was mediocre at best. So we asked if we could be changed to another room. They promised to get back to us and... more

A beautiful stately building, rich with history, great location. Rooms are nice. Big bathrooms. Great breakfast. Nothing negative to say except too expensive. For that price I expected more. THe david citadel is practically next door (I didn't go in but it looks nice from the outside.) more
