Orient by Isrotel exclusive
Hotel was pretty good but noise and cleanliness were affected by light rail construction in the street, not their fault, and of course, personell presence might have been affected by war-time absences. This is still our favorite hotel in Jerusalem. Food is still the best. Rooms are the most comfortable ...
