  : This was our 4th time here , over 35 years. The location and general historic panache are very special. It feels like an honour to stay at KDH.
  : The foyer seemed to be continually taken over by function people and the dining facilities were not up to 5 Star standard. We stayed over Shavuot and then Shabbat and meals were basically limited to unappealing cold choices during those times. Many of the guests were clearly not Ultra-Orthodox and yet it was run on Orthodox lines. For example, over Shabbat, the lifts were set as Shabbat lifts. Some of the staff seemed to act as if we should be serving them.

Disappointing

  : It is very rare to write any feedback following a stay at a hotel, but unfortunately this time is warranted.I have just returned from Israel, and on reflection, I am deeply disappointed with the standard of the King David - especially with the hefty price tag that comes with it. I have stayed at some pretty impressive hotels all over the world - with some of them being half the price for a night that I paid at the King David. From the Ritz in London to La Mamounia in Marrakech- both of these hotels that Ive stayed in are similar prices to yours. And yet, the standard of the room here was the equivalent of a 3* hotel Im afraid.Last week marked my third time at the King David - which I have always associated with opulence and finery. However the room I was given was anything but that. With the price tag associated with that room I am quite frankly in disbelief that I paid so much for the standards.Its easier for me to list the issues I had as I dont want this to be an essay. Especially as writing reviews is an uncommon occurrence for me.By no particular order:- The TV was tiny - the sort of kind you can buy for $50 off Amazon. Was pretty shocking.- The TV remote didnt even work. I couldnt change the volume.- The bathroom was like a motel. It was incredibly basic. It was small and felt very outdated.- The electrical wiring hanging out of various places including above the mini bar.- The breakfast was very average. I dont understand why we were given 3 ginormous slices of smelly cheeses (that couldnt possibly be finished) - with everything else being a relatively small portion.- In addition, the bread we received was cold. Ive never been presented with cold bread with a room service breakfast in my life.- The gentleman who provided our room service insisted we pay there and then in our room. Was incredibly uncomfortable as he stood in the middle of our hotel room waiting for our card details.

  : Location of hotel and view from our room over city walls was excellent. Lovely pool. Good food in dairy restaurant with attentive chef, and very pleasant live music.
  : Very dated bathroom. Breakfast was rather formal and had far fewer choices than other hotels we visited in Israel.
