New Imperial Hotel Jerusalem

We arrived at The New Imperial Hotel in Jerusalem with low expectations. Four couples of friends traveled to a concert at Sultan Auditorium and decided to choose a hotel nearby and the experience turned out to be far beyond what we expected. The hotel is simple but the experience is powerful and unique. It is housed in an old family-run building that beyond its distinctive architecture is full of history and life. The moment you enter you immediately feel the family heritage and the generations that have cared for it. The ceilings are high, the floors are spacious and each level has a different character. Every detail tells a story. The staff is literally the family running the hotel dressed casually warm and welcoming making us feel as if we had arrived at a relative’s home. Coffee and tea are available 24 hours a day and the rooftop offers a stunning view where you can sit relax and enjoy a cold drink while overlooking the city below. Breakfast is an experience in itself. The managers and staff went out of their way preparing and bringing us items that were not even on the menu cutting and arranging everything personally. It made us feel valued and cared for as if we were guests in their own home. The rooms although old and authentic are clean and well maintained and the corridors are spotless. Every small detail from the cleanliness to the staff’s smiles makes the stay special. The hotel offers a blend of authenticity warmth and genuine care making it more than just a place to stay. It is a place to connect relax and truly feel at home in the heart of Jerusalem.

A wonderful old hotel perfectly located at the Old City, just steps to Mamilla Mall, and across from the Tower of David. A large rooftop terrace to view Jerusalem that is lovely with tables and chairs and umbrellas …comfy beds and rooms cleaned every day; a breakfast with many tempting dishes, coffee, cereals, eggs made to order if you like; but mostly, the family that runs this hotel is very hospitable, anxious and happy to help in any way, and make you feel at home. Everyone is most kind and welcoming! All in all, a very comfortable stay. There is even a hairdresser just outside of the entrance, and he is very good!

What an amazing hotel! Colonial style old building with a perfect fit to the Old Jerusalem. Best possible location and amazing friendliness. Very clean and with fantastic local healthy anf plentiful breakfast. Remember to go to the rooftop for a great view over old Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives. Just by the entrace to the hotel in the courtyard there is an equally fantastic restaurant. Try the lamb chops!

Honestly the best hotel I've ever stayed at. The family that owns this place is extremely hospital and will treat you like family. The.food is always on point. And the rooms are spacious. I can't say enough good things about this place

Historic authentic hotel. Managed by the Christian Patriachy. Fair prices for a great location. Light breakfast, owners adjust and add according to wishes. Parking is available in the near Mamila mall. Spacious public space for guests to relax and mingle.

The New Imperial Hotel is the best hotel in the Old City. The staff are welcoming and friendly, showing the typical Palestinian hospitality. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is old style and beautiful. It's like travelling into the past. I'd definitely stay here again.

It's historical, small but affordable. Staff awesome, room great, first night here, everything went to plan. No elevators but mild stairs.

Where to begin...so many things to like about this hotel! Location CAN NOT be beat as you are literally steps inside the Yaffe Gate, able to watch to comings and goings of thousands of people all day long. From outside you may question this hotel as its exterior walls are hundreds of years old but once inside, it is a sea of tranquility. Very comfortable, well appointed, coffee and water available, super friendly and helpful front desk staff. I had a great room with a balcony facing the Jaffe Gate...excellent hot water pressure, clean...comfortable and yes, very quiet...even though I faced the street. Hotel has wonderful roof deck with great views and breakfast was included and well received! Thank you!||Short walk to the Western Wall and right near the Arab market, plenty to do in this area. At the time of writing of this review, tensions are relatively high in the Old City but I didn't seem nor hear any trouble over a couple of days there. As one guide told me "right now, there are more guns than tourists in Jerusalem"... Still an amazing, marvelous journey thru history not to be missed.||The New Imprerial Hotel is a great starting point...and prices are GREAT! Shalom!
