“Stay far away of this hotel!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 May 2011

people found this review helpful

We went to the Kikar Zion hotel to stay there for 3 nights. Our first impression was'nt so good, because even our taxi driver couldn't find the main entrance! Because there wasn't any!!! The only door was on the back next to a garage, and there was a small door which was locked. Finally we realized that there was a door bell that you should push to get in. After getting in you need to take an elevator to the "lobby" floor. When we reached there, there was no one there! Not a single person. After a while a guy came to the reception desk and asked us what we wanted.. He was really rude and tired to his life!
Well, finally we got into our room, and it was GROWSE! I mean really DISGUSTING!!! It was so dirty and dusty everywhere and there were stains on the floor carpet and on the sheets of the bed. We really didn't feel much sitting anywhere or touch anything. It felt like you could get fleas. :D
We left the hotel right away!
So please DO NOT BOTHER TO GO IN THIS "HOTEL"

“Really a shame”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 April 2011

This hotel was a horror. The common parts and the rooms are old and dirty, only one chaine of television working, the breakfast and the dining room are depressing. To avoid at all costs. Only the staff and the nearness of the old town could justify this hotel but it is expensively paid!

“Average really!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 February 2011

This hotel has the perfect location for Jerusalem. Literally everything is walking distance.

Only issue is the decor is a bit old fashioned, the sheets weren't very clean when we arrived and the reception staff are a bit rude.

Also on a Saturday night the clubs are nearby so it's hard to sleep with the music blaring out loud. The breakfast and dinner isn't really fantastic neither.

But it's a superb location, has free fast WiFi and the air con works!

If you can actually find other place to stay, please do.
Very old facility. Furnitures as well.
The radio attached with the bed's headboard made me reminisce the old times coz' those are the same thing my grandpa have from the days.

“A great location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2008

person found this review helpful

You chooose this hotel for the fantastic location. Ten minutes from the old city. You walk in one direction and you see dancing religious me from the 19th century.. Another direction and it is the twenty first century with hiphop and loud music. The contradiction of Jerusalem.
A disgusring breakfast with rotten eggs and old bread. But if you ask the Arab waiters for fresh bread, you get fresh bread. You ask for fresh eggs, you get fresh eggs. So a hotel for the seasoned traveller who is perhaps somewhat asserrtive.
Big rooms and a reasonable bathroom. The bottom line: reasonable price and the place to stay for seasoned travellers.
