“Amazing location- but that's it!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 July 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Stayed here with a group- hotel was old- looking and smelled from the outside. The rooms are small and the TVs didn't work. It's difficult to get up and down in the hotel due to old, small elevators. The food was fine, but by no means delicious. The staff was helpful, but not overly so. The best (possibly only) great thing about this hotel is the location- smack in the center of town. If location is what's important to you, and your hotel is just a place to sleep for a few hours and leave your stuff, this is a fine place to stay on a budget. More hostel status than hotel.

Room Tip: Lower floors are probably slightly nicer

“Awful”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 June 2011

This is the worst hotel ever, and it rates more as a motel. I was bitten by mosquitoes each night and had ten bites on each leg. The decor is from the 1970s and the rooms have dirty sheets. The only plus is the location, but I would avoid this place at all costs.

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

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”

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!
