Stayed here for 2 nights. Though the building is old with no elevator, it is bang on Jaffa Gate, where everything begins in town. One can just walk to any sights in the historic town. Shops and restaurants are at the street level right below. All walking tours start at Jaffa. Room was basic and quite small, but clean and met my needs during the stay. Lots of variety at breakfast and quite filling even for my vegan requirement. Taxi stand was right across when we needed. Adi at the reception desk was of great help on whatever questions I had, soft-spoken and even printed me vegan options in town.

It's hard to beat the location of the New Imperial Hotel! There are few options in Old Jerusalem. The hotel is just inside Jaffa Gate. The room was large, mostly because I got the triple room for one person as it was the only empty room. The staff were very kind. They bent over backwards to make me comfortable. The hotel is a bit funky. For example, they don't use duvet covers. I have severe allergies so I couldn't use the blankets so it was a little cold. The price was fair for the room.

We stayed with family teo nights at end of 2022. Location is top, few meters from Gaza gate. However the hotel is old, nit or poorly renovated. Windows are old and not soundproof, lots of shops activities early morning make impossible to sleep. Also air conditioning not properly working, rooms very cold. Toilet really basic and poor quality. Good breakfast service and variety. Extremely expensive for the low quality of the rooms.

What a wonderful experience. We visited the weekend of the Eastern Orthodox Holy Week. I cannot convey the joy and warmth this hotel exudes . Situated inside the Old City near Jaffa gate the Christian orthodox hotel is a cosy welcome space inside the city wall next to David’s tower. I felt encapsulated in the joy of the Easter celebrations and carried along by the traditions of the Orthodox Church. Can’t recommend this hotel more highly, for its warmth and generosity of Spirit.

We stayed at the New Imperial Hotel for three nights while visiting Jerusalem. We booked the hotel directly through the web site which offered a better price than the discount site we checked. We called to request a first floor because of a fairly recent knee surgery. The manager was very kind and advised that getting to the lobby and first floor requires going up a flight of stairs and there is no elevator in the hotel. He urged to do what was best for us and not to worry if we decided to cancel because of the stairs. This is a family run hotel and it was obvious that was the case throughout our stay. We arrived early in the morning; our bags were stored for us and we were offered to have breakfast in the dining room which was very much appreciated. The dining room staff were always friendly there were many choices on the buffet each day, salads, yogurt, fruit, pasty, cereal including a couple of hot dishes. Our room was very spacious with two beds and a shower as well as a coffee maker, a fridge and a tv. There is a 24 hour coffee machine by the front desk with options for Americano, cappuccino etc. There is a beautiful view from the rooftop and as mentioned a restaurant next door. The location was excellent for touring the old city, just across the Tower of David Museum, the Visitor Center is just steps away from the hotel and the staff were very warm and friendly. If stairs are an issue be advised that the hotel lobby and the first floor of rooms require going up a substantial flight of stairs and there is no elevator in the hotel. Otherwise this is a great choice when visiting the old city in Jerusalem.

Excellent hotel, friendly and helpful staff, rooms small but clean, showers hot, beds comfortable. Tea and coffee available in rooms and at reception, buffet breakfast perfectly adequate, restaurants nearby. Right by the Jaffa Gate and entrance to the parapet walk. Easy walk to light train stop (10 mins), Tower of David Light show etc. Top location.

Unbelievable hotel! The greatest staff I have come across, everyone greets you with a smile and is ever so respectful. I am a Muslim and I believe this hotel is a Christian hotel but I’ve never felt so respected and cared for. Keep doing what you guys are doing. Shoutout to Leonardo for his great help and attitude! Even the boss got out of his seat and greeted me with a smile. Jaffa gate, close to everything, less than 10 mins walk to Al Aqsa!

This hotel should be rated anywhere between 2 and 5 depending on your priorities. My high rating relates to the practicalities of visiting Old Jerusalem. The place, for sure, is full of staggering things to see, but all around there is endless haggling, aggression and frankly dodgy behaviour. The hotel is a safe-haven of utterly civilised interaction between guest and host. Nothing is too much trouble for the Dajani family (hats off to Adi and Rania who are utterly brilliant). The hotel has a whiff of 1930's -1940's British Palestine and I loved the sense of times past. It simply overwhelms withe a sense of those times. The location is simply SUPERB. The hotel is located in the wall of Old Jerusalem at the Jaffa Gate (not a terrorist hotspot). Everything you want to see is within twenty minutes walk of the hotel. The roof has a splendid view of the major attractions (you're 30 metres from the Tower of David!) More a hotel for those who want to explore Old Jerusalem than those who want a sexy honeymoon. It is a hotel that has my huge respect. Things like WIFI and breakfast are beyond reproach. Jerusalem is not (in my opinion) a culinary hotspot but there is a decent restaurant just round the corner (but book). Let the hotel arrange your trips where I found their help outstanding. I love this hotel but if luxury close to Old Jersusalem is your priority then go to the Waldorf, but you will miss a great experience.

Very comfortable and welcoming. I was there as part of a group of fifteen and we were very well looked after and catered for. Roof terrace is a lovely place to spend an evening. Good value for money.

This hotel was simple yet functional. I was traveling solo, so my room was enough space for one person. The location is just priceless! inside the walls, Jaffa gate, so you can literally be at the main attractions of the old city in a couple of minutes. Staff attention was great. They made me feel welcomed. The hotel is an old building (of course) so you get the feeling of being in the old Jerusalem of back in the days...
