The hotel

As well as the superb service, snazzy décor and tasteful touches you’d expect from a Waldorf Astoria, you may just agree that this hotel tops them all. It’s historic and classy. It’s timeless and relaxed. And even though you may be keen to explore the Old City and all that’s happening just outside, why not grab a fresh coffee first and take in its loveliness from the glass-roofed atrium. If you’re feeling peckish, the food is inspired, from huge breakfast buffets to tasty afternoon teas. In summer, head up to the leafy rooftop garden for al fresco tapas – the views from up here are something else.

Overall the hotel was good but for sure not worth the price. Read less

The hotel is located in the holy city of Jerusalem very close to the old city. The hotel staff are friendly and welcoming From check in to check out Breakfast is outstanding The only minor pitfall is the relatively high price

If I could add a few stars I would. I just returned from a 12-day stay. The service is 10 stars. They are all so helpful and kind that I feel like I am family with them every time I go back.

It was my third stay and it was magical. Ihab the manager was superb in every way, Jerry the dining room manager made sure I was taken care of daily, and Aaron was the best waiter every morning. Mamoun made sure I had the table and location just right for each meal over the holidays, All the concierge help including Matan were above and beyond, Yael a manager in housekeeping could not do enough for us, Achmad who did my daily room service was the nicest and so pleasant to work with. Adnan the doorman was so warm and helpful and always with a smile. The food was delicious, and the flowers in the hotel were stunning. Paul gave a wonderful hot stone massage. The views from my balcony were breathtaking. All in all, it was wonderful and I look forward to going back. Thank you all!! Read less

I just spent 4 nights at the Waldorf over Passover. This is the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in Israel and one of my faves ever in terms of comfort, decor, and service.

I just spent 4 nights at the Waldorf over Passover. This is the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in Israel and one of my faves ever in terms of comfort, decor, and service. Our room was beautiful and classy while modern. Bathrobes, slippers, feather duvets, bottle water and chocolates. The service at this hotel was incredible. They called just to make sure everything was ok and to wish us a good holiday. They randomly came up with snacks, chocolates and souvenirs. I highly recommend staying here - and it is across the street from the Mamilla mall and in walking distance to the old city. Read less

I’ve been staying at the Waldorf since it opened average twice a year. I Allways complemented hotel management for their great service however this last stay was not the regular Waldorf stay. On 10 Tevet a fasting day Arrangements were made instead of breakfast room service will send sandwiches after sundown however it took more then an hour and half to arrive. If they would have told me in advance that they are short staffed I would have made other arrangements to break my fast. No operator was reachable after 10.00 pm It took hours to have someone pickup my shoes for a shoe shine Slippers were not supplied in the room I requested and did not receive it No shoe horn brush etc. pen quality went down down The beautiful Waldorf shopping bag was not supplied. In general this was not Waldorf service at most like a 2 star hotel. I loved the hotel and sincerely hope they will make the WaldorfGreat again Read less
