The hotel

An oasis in one of the most celebrated cities, the David Citadel puts you right in the core of Jerusalem. Sophisticated dining, a serene spa, and a heated pool overlooking yellow-stone rooftops — relaxation may just be high on your agenda here. It’s not all about down-time though. Step out of the grand entrance and be taken back to Old City living. Wander through streets of fascinating culture, and end up at some of the oldest historic sites known to man.

Great hotel, really made us feel like special guests. Highlight was the breakfast and Said the best waiter in Jerusalem (maybe Israel!). Said made sure to get us anything we wanted and even memorized our drink preferences so he could have it ready for us before we got there. We felt like royalty! Thanks Said!

I spent a week at the Citadel in early June for work. I had an alcove deluxe room on the 1oth floor with an Old City view. The room was spacious and very comfortable and the closet space was great. It was nice to have a sofa and a balcony to sit on after dinner. I had breakfast on the terrace facing the Old City most mornings. The breakfast buffet has everything you could possibly want and the omelet station is a really nice addition. Ada is a wonderful waiter and I always make sure to sit in his station. Samir makes really good iced coffee and cappuccino! They make your morning something special. We had access to the lounge which was nice to be able to pop into in the afternoon for a snack and something cold to drink. The pool is a nice plus in the warm months and the hotel location is great. It is easy to walk to a lot of places from there. All the staff at the Citadel are all very helpful and nice. Check in was seamless and they are very helpful when you need a cab. This was my 6th or 7th time staying there. You can't go wrong by staying at the Citadel. Read less
