"Quiet European elegance, comfort, and affordability meet in the Jerusalem Gold Hotel,to create a hidden sanctuary amid the overwhelming blaze of history, diversity,and faith that is Jerusalem."
So far, so good, quoted from the hotel's folder; the hotel may once have been an elegant and comfortable house; after some refurbishments all what is left are friendly staff, good food and an unchanged, not so central location as anticipated. A brisk walk of at least 35 minutes may bring you to the Old Town, but better take a taxi!
The hotel-rooms are small, smaller, the smallest- a double bed taking most of the space, giving you hard problems to host your suitcase (and that's not an exception, it refers to most of the rooms!)
Amenities like minibar or coffee-making-machines are unknown. But the worst thing of everything you are going to encounter is the "restaurant":, situated in the second basement: a rather small room hosts about 350 (!) seats at long,extremely narrow tables (you might erroniously take your vis a vis plate for yours). It is that cramped, that it is nearly impossible to find your way from the rich buffet back to your table (hosting 8-10 people) .
In contrast to the above the food is near to very good,the staff friendly and helpful. So you'll have to decide: I for myself would rather take another hotel, all in all !
Unique Qualities: see above !
Friendly receptionists and staff, not everywhere met in Israel !
