AMAZING location, service, and memorable hotel

Amazing LOCATION & VERY GORGEOUS historic hotel. Great place to stay in the OLD CITY - steps from everything & easy to get to modern Jerusalem - mall/drug stores/chain hotels to meet tours/ .. Family run & owned- as a single female I felt safer than other hotels I stayed in Israel. Super polite, excellent service & helpful with whatever questions I had or breakfast food requests (For a nice surprise , the including breakfast was so fresh, delicious, and tons of choices). I stayed during Purim AND Ramadan -not planned, I was volunteering in North and had 4 days off —- it was incredibly LOUD at Jaffa gate , hence in my room—- ask to stay in interior rooms if busy weekend. I had a fabulous room overlooking Tower of David, but that’s where the all night Purim Disco was. DO NOT miss their rooftop. AMAZING views of Dome of the Rock & all old city ( incredible at night) .

Experience the Old City

This place had an eclectic Middle East feel to it with the decor to match. Cannot beat the location if you want to be in Old City Jerusalem. Within walking distance of the Israel Museum. Taxis right out front. Market right outside. Fantastic staff. Tons of stairs.

The staff at the property is nice. The gentleman at the front who checked me in and checked me out was so helpful. Helped me with my luggage because there is no lift. The breakfast is good too. The property itself needs improvement. Very old. The pipes had brown water coming out both sink and shower. I don’t usually complain but they said that was fine and to let it run. I couldn’t wait to check out. The lady who cleans the room was banging on my door since 9:30am to clean the room when checkout isn’t till 11am. I felt extremely rushed to leave. The location is great but would never stay here again.

Stop searching and book immediately!

The New Imperial Hotel is your best find for a proper stay in Old City Jerusalem. It's steps away from Jaffa Gate and the Holy Sepulchre. The hotel is easy for Gett and other taxi apps to locate / service and the value for what you receive at this hotel is incredible. The rooftop is a perfect spot for sunset sips and the included breakfast was beyond what I have received at most Marriotts and Hiltons.

A very beautiful place to stay...a little piece of heaven. Super nice staff. An excellent breakfast with so many options. The lemonade was sooo good.

Outstanding hotel with the most amazing views of all the area landmarks. It's like living inside the most historic museum with all the amenities of a modern hotel. The building itself is a historic structure that gives you the feel of time travel and the good vibes of middle eastern hospitality. The staff are extremely warm, helpful and welcoming. The generous and high quality breakfast was exactly what we needed after a busy day of travel. We will be back again for sure!

The room was simple, but spotless. When I first arrived, I was greeted by a receptionist with a smile that was filled with a genuine happiness that I made it. She made me feel like i was a member of the family visiting. What was awesome is that she wasn't the only member of the staff to treat my like that. Every staff member I came into contact with was genuine and glowed with happiness. My room was very simple, but spotless. You could eat off the floor. I was using a cane due to recovering from an injury, and the staff tried to help me. They did so not because they had to, but because they wanted to. I have stayed in many hotels before i retired and was quite impressed by this one. Thank you for everything

This is an old property with many upgrades. Unfortunately with the war, the collapse of tourism has taken its toll. Our room needed some maintenance attention that was handled immediately and they upgraded us for our inconvenience. The staff and owner were incredible. The access to Old Jerusalem made it worthwhile to be able to walk the markets and landmarks. Whe the balcony is nice, the sound from the Tower of David across the street made some nights unbearable. The staff and locals all complain but the venue continues to hold late night rock concerts. I would recommend to couples that can handle the active scene.

The Imperial was a great place to stay, I’d book it again without hesitation. Rania and the team of staff are great hosts. The building is quite unique and location perfect for exploring the old city…. Just 10 mins walk to the Western Wall, rampart walks both 1 min away, taxi rank opposite hotel, Roots and Nafoura are great dining options.
