A huge shout out to the King David Hotel and the complimentary tours they offer. Friday morning 11 am - Old City Tour > ORLY is amazing. She is the super knowledgeable local guide who is classy and smart - she brought us on a walk from the hotel and through the old neighborhoods, giving us the history and back stories. She showed us how to get around and orient ourselves and "find our way back to the hotel". We made it back in time for the 2:30 HOTEL TOUR. The hotel itself is a history book and Orly even showed us the Presidential Suites where Clinton and Putin stayed and the list of names goes on...she brought us up to the rooftop for an amazing view and showed us the iconic pieces of furniture and stories within the walls of the King David. It doesnt end there..the Saturday Tour leaving the KD at 11 am of the Old City and the four walls within was also amazing. Thank you Orly - you made our stay at the King David and the Holy City of Jerusalem better than we could have imagined. The unique history and stories, facts and insider knowledge are a gift that you shared with us. Stay at the King David and before you book any tours, start with their complimentary tour hosted by Orly on Fridays and Saturdays. It will set the stage for Jerusalem. All the best, your friends from Vancouver Jacquie, Jon and Jaxon ! Read less

The King David’s reputation is well deserved. The location couldn’t be better. The accommodations, and service were excellent, and the breakfast buffet in the dining room was epic. I particularly loved the signed tiles on the main floor; seeing the notables who had stayed there was like walking thru history.

Not only is this hotel historic, it is beautiful, well-located and has amazing service. This is my new favourite Jerusalem hotel. The architecture is stunning, as is the pool. I also enjoyed the responsiveness of the breakfast staff... and the shakshuka.

The King David is in a prime central location in Jerusalem; Just a short 5 minute walk to Malmilla mall, and then 5 more minutes to Jaffa Gate to enter the Old City.

The King David is in a prime central location in Jerusalem; Just a short 5 minute walk to Malmilla mall, and then 5 more minutes to Jaffa Gate to enter the Old City. The hotel offers a free two hour tour of old city on Fridays and Saturdays with archeologist Dr. Haim Cohen which was thoroughly educational and fascinating. As other reviewers have noted, the breakfast buffet is extraordinary, and the Shabbat meal service is top-notch. The pool and garden area behind the hotel is an oasis of green and calm, a great place to relax in the midst of the city of Jerusalem. So many excellent staff members. Hanny, Isaac, Ali, and more in the restaurant. Charles and Basel at the front desk/lobby. Yes, the king David costs more but it’s definitely worth it! Beautiful architecture, excellent staff, and prime location. Will return. Read less
