Great location. Amazing views. Excellent service at breakfast buffet which is impressive. Atta added his special touch in his personalized service at breakfast. Rooms are well appointed and nice in size. We walked to the old city and just soaked about Jerusalem so easily from this location. We look forward to returning.
Danny, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We absolutely loved the David Citadel in Jerusalem! We highly recommend staying there because it’s the best location for shopping, restaurants and sightseeing. The staff went out of their way to spoil us, as it was our wedding anniversary, especially Sasha and Sonya. The breakfast each morning was superb, as was our room with a view of the swimming pool and the Old City.
Jim, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was extremely polite. We had a late flight out and they gave us an extended late checkout as a courtesy which they didn’t have to do. The staff was also very attentive to elderly guests at breakfast, anticipating their every need. Was very special to see.
Iris, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

I have stayed at this property many times over the years. I think that now all the common areas are looking very dated and worn and that all the furnishings in the common areas should be replaced and updated.
Mark, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We wanted the light in our room to be shut off but it was a difficult task since the light was set to Shabbat mode. Unfortunately, we had the light on the whole evening and we couldn't sleep. We went and complained to the reception desk. As a courtesy, Yazen Atrash offered our family lunch which was an incredible experience. He also offered to give us a discount when we're ready to book another reservation. We are So Happy with the incredible service that Yazan offered us. We will definitely come again!

Très beau séjour dans cet hôtel magnifique à deux pas du mur des lamentations. Le personnel de la réception est accueillant mais celui de la piscine est à revoir.
Yonathan, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Pas au niveau d'un hotel de ce standing.

Après de bonnes expériences dans des hôtels à Tel-aviv et Herziliya, j'espérais finir mon séjour dans un hotel qui est censé être l'un des meilleurs de Jerusalem. Malheureusement c'est un échec, rien ne va au David Citadel que ça soit la propreté, le service et l'aspect commercial. Car oui, quand vous allez vous plaindre on ose vous répondre que c'est parceque l'hôtel est plein. Donc vous en tant que client vous devez accepter de payer plus cher (offre et la demande) et si l'hôtel n'a pas les capacité de gérer vous devez accepté sans rechigner. A la sortie on ne vous demande même pas comment ça s'est passé, normal vu le mécontentement global des clients. Et si vous partez dans la nuit (pour prendre votre vol) débrouillez vous avec vos valises, il n'y a plus personne à l'accueil.
Norman, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Belle emplacement mais c’est tout.

Quand vous séjournez dans un hôtel 5 étoiles à un prix à la nuitée des plus chers de la ville vous attendez un certain service et une propreté irréprochable. Au David Citadelle, vous n’aurez ni l’un ni l’autre. Le service est inexistant à la piscine, au petit déjeuner ou pire encore au repas de Vendredi soir (pourtant à 150$ sans boisson). Lorsqu’on vous installe au petit déjeuner vous attendez 15 minutes qu’on vous dresse la table et qu’on vous la nettoie. Lorsqu’un enfant vomi à la piscine, que vous le signalez, on vous rigole au nez et le vomi reste toute la journée au bord de la piscine. Ce qui est terrible c’est que c’était ma première fois dans cet hôtel, mais des habitués m’ont confié qu’il ne retourneraient jamais dans cet hôtel malgré sa localisation. L’hotel semble laissé à l’abandon. Je pense que l’hôtel a conscience du niveau qu’il affiche car au Check-out personne n’ose vous demander comment ça s’est passé. Pire, on continue avec une discussion peu commerciale à la sortie où le manager n’accepte pas qu’un client poussé à bout hausse le ton quand il y a un manque de respect flagrant. On ne retournera plus là-bas.
Norman, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Hôtel à fuir - catastrophique.

Certainement pas un 5*, ni un 4. Dès l’arrivée, le balcon de la chambre est très sale : poussiéreux, mégot au sol, mobilier noir de poussière (attention aux vêtements blancs). À la piscine, même négligence : matelas souillés, fientes d’oiseaux non nettoyées, vous signalez du VOMI d’enfant, on vous demande d’aller chercher quelqu’un .. qui laisse le vomi jusqu’à la fermeture ! Serviettes souvent introuvables et aucun service sur place. Le petit-déjeuner se prend sur des tables non débarrassées ni nettoyées et on vous fait patienter 15 minutes avant que quelqu’un daigne la nettoyer à moitié. Point culminant : le repas du vendredi soir à 550 ₪/personne (150 $). Qualité médiocre, assiettes non débarrassées, absence d’eau fraîche (on ouvre des cartons de 6 bouteilles à température ambiante devant vous), demandes simples (sel, pain) ignorées, plus rapide de se servir directement sur la table voisine. Et quand on le signale au manager, la seule réponse est : « c’est comme ça ». D’ailleurs, au check-out, on attend toujours la traditionnelle question « comment s’est passé votre séjour ? » qui n’arrive jamais .. certainement que tous les clients comme nous étaient excédés d’un tel niveau d’hôtellerie… à 700$ la nuit quand même. Ah et pour finir ce séjour en beauté, si vous partez à 2h du matin pour un vol de nuit, débrouillez-vous tout seul avec vos valises, personne ne sera là pour vous aider. A la hauteur du respect apporté au client. Le David Citadelle c’est PLUS JAMAIS.

Another Wonderful Stay at the David Citadel

We have stayed at this hotel many times and we have never been disappointed. When you arrive they say “Welcome Home” and they are right. The service is excellent and everyone cannot do enough to make your stay comfortable including Sami in the morning doing artwork in the cappuccino foam. We have rarely made a request even at the last minute that they could not accommodate. I would urge anyone coming to Jerusalem for the first or 20th time to stay here.
