Hotel is in an excellent location, walking distance from the Old City of Jerusalem. The hotel staff were very helpful in recommending restaurants and activiities. The views were excellent. Breakfast buffet was also excellent with a large range of slads, hot dishes, pastries, and local dishes.

My wife and I booked it on a recommendation, we got upgraded to a suite when we got there. My wife did not want to leave after 3 days, she loved the decor, the staff were very helpful and we would definitely go there again.

Nice Hotel. Old style... fits Jerusalem and the old city

Genuine Expedia guest review

We were not aware that breakfast was not included, as all are other hotels did include breakfast. The charge for breakfast was $26.00 each even if we just had coffee. Unfortunitely there is no place near to go for breakfast. I would never stay at this hotel again.

For some reason when we wanted to extend our trip they said they were fully booked when clearly there were rooms available online

My family loved this hotel. It is five blocks from the Old City, so the location is terrific. You can walk to the Old City of Jerusalem from this hotel. It has a unique style, unlike the cookie cutter hotels we stay at in the U.S. The hotel staff was great, and booked several tours for us, both in advance of our arrival and during our trip. The breakfast […] buffet (included in the cost) was tasty and had plenty of variety, even for our children. I have stayed in hotels in over 20 countries, and this was one of the best I have tried.

Mt Zion Hotel is within walking distance to the Old City, parks and excellent restaurants on Emek Refiem. The view of the Old City at sunset is breathtaking. It makes you understand the meaning of Jerusalem the City of Gold.

Convenient location -- about a 10 - 15 minute walk to Jaffa Gate. Nice spa with Turkish bath to relax after a long day of sightseeing.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel was better than I expected. Front desk staff very helpful at all times. Always at least 3 clerks behind the desk, so no wait to get any question answered or have a taxi called. Location of hotel was excellent, a 10 minute walk to the Jaffa Gate of the Old City. Drug store conveniently 5 minute walk away and a good restaurant and movie theater […] within a 3 minute walk. Breakfast was good, with waffle and omelette station. Juices were too watery and there was no skim milk offered. Dining room staff very attentive. Bathroom was large, modern with excellent shower with strong water spray. Room itself better than average. I really have nothing negative to say about it. I found it a very good value. Stayed May 17-21, 2012. Read more

A wonderful hotel within walking distance to Old City. Great service and the best breakfast buffet.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel is located within walking distance of the Old City. The walk is great exercise down the hill and then up the hill to the Old City. We were within a 15 minute walk to the Western Wall. The views from several vantage points of the hotel are outstanding. The staff was very accomodating and provided nearly anything we asked. The breakfast buffet […] was very good and consistent every morning with a European feel to it with many fresh fruits and unusual choices for Americans. There are many good restaurants within a short distance of the hotel. The German Colony has several good reasonably priced and casual restaurants and of course being within walking distance of the Old City for dining is also a plus. Our room was comfortable not spectacular but we did not plan on spending much time in our room and with all the things to do and see in Israel it was a good call. The work out facilities are OK but the steam room was great. Pool and spa are good. Parking for our rental car was free across the street from the hotel. Occasionally the lot would get pretty full. We spent six nights at the hotel and plan to stay there again when we go back to Israel as six days and nights doesn't give you enough time to see all there is to see in Israel. We can't wait to come back to the Mt. Zion Hotel! My wife and I are in good shape and enjoyed the walk up to the Old City but for some who don't like to walk they may not enjoy the hotel as much as we did. Read more

This was a lovely boutique hotel in a beautiful neighborhood. The view from the lobby windows was spectacular. Morning meals were delicious and offered a very large selection of scrumptious food. The hotel staff could not have been more accomodating. There were not a lot of parking spaces. The hot tub also overlooked the spectacular view of Jerusal […] em. Beth Read more

The hotel was very nice, and I was flabbergasted by how large my room was. It is close to Emek Refaim and to the old city, which was my requirement, but when I walked out the door, I realized there's nothing really there! No restaurants or convenience stores or anything like that. It is, however, across the street from free public parking.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. First of all, the decor is exotic and beautiful - you feel like you're in the Near East, not in some chain hotel. Second, the breakfasts are fantastic - HUGE buffets with everything you could want (except meat - it's Kosher Dairy). Third, the staff was very professional and helpful. Fourth, it is a very quick […] walk (15 minutes) to the Jaffa gate, probably the best-known gate to get into the Old City. Fifth, the views of the Old City from the hotel are great - and even if your room doesn't face the Old City, you probably have a pomegranate tree and a palm tree outside your window. Do bring a swimsuit, they have a jacuzzi that you can sit in under the stars and have an unobstructed view of the Old City! Read more

This hotel is old and tired and needs to be refreshed. The pictures on their website re probably 20+ years old. Our room was really not fresh. Not worthy of 4 star rating. Also, they have major issues with their internet network that only works intermittantly. The breakfast buffet is reall nice.

A walking distance to the Old City and surrounding areas, this hotel is a converted 19-century hospital, with rooms and decor almost reminiscent of the Sex and the City II hotel accommodations. Rooms are big and clean. The staff is professional and courteous. A very good variety Israeli breakfast buffet - vegetable salads, cheeses, fruits, freshly squeezed […] juices, breads and pastry - everything is fresh and tasty. Read more

I stayed one night in August. It is super conveniently located near the old city. The room was very large with a comfortable bed. The bathroom was nice with a great shower. The breakfast is excellent. Overall the hotel is charming with a great garden/pool area in the back. I am a swimmer and was able to do about 30 minutes of laps in the pool after […] a hot day walking around the city. I travel a lot for business both in the USA and Europe and would highly recommend this hotel - very good value for money. Read more

Hotels.com called the hotel at the time of reservation and they waived the 3rd person charge. This convinced me to stay at this hotel. At check in, they reneged and charged us for the 3rd person anyway. They did not care.

Positive: Great location, very clean and luxurious, and has spectacular views. Walking distance to old Jerusalem sites. Overall A+ experience. Negative: Not a lot of negatives, but one to note: not all rooms are accessible by elevator alone - we had to use elevator plus a flight of stairs. Not an issue if you give a generous tip for the bell servi […] ce. Read more

We enjoyed our stay and found the hotel to be perfectly located to accessing the Old City and all of the wonderful sights of Jerusalem. We had an amazing time.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The Mt Zion is located conveniently near the Jaffa Gate to the Old City, and although any walk in Jerusalem can be rather strenuous given the hills, the walk from the Mt. Zion to the Jaffa Gate is doable. The same cannot be said for other area hotels. Staff was friendly, room was fine, buffet breakfast was fantastic. We've decided that when we return […] to Jerusalem, we will stay there again. Read more

Don't stay here if at all sensitive to scent. Walked into a room that had been so heavily sprayed with perfume that it made me feel ill. After 24 hours with windows wide open, it became barely tolerable. Rooms plain; breakfast only fair for Israel; dining hall staff rather rude. I will not stay here again. Also didn't like their wifi policy. I had two […] wifi devices with me and would have had to pay double to use both, even if not simultaneously. Thus I had to shut off the wifi on my iPhone.

Mount Zion Hotel has one of the most beautiful locations in the world. Views from each window of the large windows are absolutely stunning looking out into the Old City and other views of Jerusalem. The lobby is very nicely furnished with Morroccan furniture and tile floors with big windows. The hotel has a gorgeous garden and a very interesting long […] history. Buffet Israeli breakfast is good in a very nice dining room. Rooms are nicely furnished, but the double or queen size bed is made up of two narrow beds moved together which tend to separate. The rooms could also use a desk. Read more

We like to stay here - there's no view in Jerusalem quite like the one from this hotel, and it is handsome and comfortable on the inside too, though not knock-your-socks-off luxurious. The breakfast is outstanding. But, be forewarned: WiFi on your laptop and on your iPhone will run you two days of extra connection charges ($30) per day, and I found […] it disappointing, and, frankly, petty, that the manager preferred to pocket a few dollars and not adjust the bill to satisfy a customer.

we stayed for a wedding... breakfast was really good compared to many other stops in Israel. a/c in the room was finicky and the bathroom sink was stopped up upon arrival, but both were repaired after notification. nice pool, turkish spa was nice but not overwhelming, other spa pay services seemed reasonably priced. $15/day for internet access was a […] bummer.

Great Views of the Old city Walls especialy from the outdoor jacuzzi. We loved the hotel furniture and the Hamam.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I was disappointed with my stay at the hotel. The hotel staff where not at all friendly and when asked a specific question would answer with "over there" or "that way" and the room itself for the money in which I paid was not at all of the standard that I would have expected. The food though was very good and well presented.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel is close to the walled city of Jerusalem and has a history that makes it more interesting. The hotel was originally a hospital and was critical to getting supplies into the old city during the 1920's blockade. We walked from the hotel to the old city everyday during our stay. Now, it's a luxury hotel with many features and comforts. The staff […] was most friendly and welcoming and the towels! The towels are thick and huge - makes a shower feel wonderful! The beds are comfortable and clean. We stayed for six nights in November 2012. Because of the season, the heating was on and air conditioning was not available. We found the rooms too hot, but the staff quickly found a floor fan for us to use. Read more

We paid for an upgrading room, and paid quite a lot more for this, however, very disappointed with the room that we received. Although this had a balcony which was a bonus, it was a very basic room and not very large. The room was not deluxe which we were expecting and certainly not worth the extra money that was paid. The room was not very clean and […] furniture needed updating. The breakfast was excellent and far exceeded my expectations. Having walked to the other side of the hotel to the right of the entrance door, the foyer and communal areas were far superior to the left hand side of the hotel, were our side was drab and by the service lift, with an old painted piano stuck at the top of the stairs. The staff were helpful and the bar snacks very good. Read more

Perched on a picturesque hill close to the Jaffa Gate (10 mins walk), the Mount Zion hotel is in a gorgeous location. Rooms are fairly spacious, reasonably up-to-date, though bath fairly small. Breakfast was not the most extensive (compared to other Israeli breakfasts), but really no complaints - and excellent breads, homemade marmalade, lovely cheeses […] and eggs made to order. Staff at the front desk were helpful and well-informed and made our stay just that little bit smoother as well. No hesitation to recommend. Read more

The hotel tself is lovely, the rooms are disappointingly small considering their rather grandiose descriptions. Location is superb

Genuine Expedia guest review

The location and architecture of this hotel is really lovely. All the shared area's of the hotel are wonderful. The flowers around the pool area are beautiful. The rooms are very dated however, this may be a style choice; we commonly referred to it as 'Grandma`s house'. The double bed was two twin's as opposed to be a double, an occasional leg was lost […] down the gap as can happen, for this reason alone I gave 3 points for comfort but my girlfriend was very happy with her bed. I did not find the staff particularly friendly, I would have liked some information on the area, which I asked for and was given but there was no understanding of the needs of new visitors, as an example I would have liked them to mention where the nice hotels where, how to get through the old town and what time you need to get up to join the queue for the temple mount #very early BTW#, none was offered and from an expensive hotel it’s not unreasonable to expect this. Also internet was not included and the business centre was not working so we could not check our flights without paying for a whole day. Tellingly I did not feel comfortable asking the front desk staff if they could check for us. For this reason a +4 rating does not seem justifiable. Read more
