The architecture and staff manners were excellent. We lived our room very much and enjoyed the swimming pool. The only comment I can think of is that we thought breakfast was included given the rate we paid. This may have not been the fault of the hotel though.

The property felt like a private residence more than a soulless hotel. It is a unique property with very helpful and friendly staff with a lovely internal courtyard restaurant and an additional bar/restaurant in the grounds. The old town of Jerusalem is around 10mins away on foot.

Live life in the style of times gone by and enjoy a piece of the luxurious past in this stunning slice of "temps perdu" from another era. From the ambiance to the service, from the rooms to the food, this is a unique boutique hotel.

Its good but not WOW!

The hotel is an institution and thats where it ends. All else are very mediocre. Cant believe it still manages to keep the Leading Hotels of the World plaque up at the main entrance.

Unique. Like staying in a museum but with first class service.

Superbly refurbished buildings with large and comfortable rooms. Pool area is not large but is secluded and well maintained. Good choice of food and beverages between the two restaurants with casual indoor and outdoor dining. Situated within the Arab quarter so surrounding area leaves a lot to be desired. However, the hotel is like an oasis of tranquillity and is only a 10 minute walk from the Damascus Gate leading into the Old City. Only real downside is the proximity of a mosque which broadcasts regular 15 minute calls to prayer through loudspeakers.

Preis Leistung hält sich nicht Waage. Das Personal war bis auf zwei Personen distanziert und kühl. Der Rest war gut, jedoch nicht den üblichen 5 Sterne Standard entsprechend. Die vom Hotel organisierten Taxis arbeiten mit überteuerten Pauschalen ohne Taxameter, das war unangenehm.

2 Tage in Jerusalem. Das American Colony ist meiner Meinung nach das beste Hotel in Israel, weil es Stil hat (selten dort) und weltoffener ist als das King David

Das Highligt unserer Israel-Reise

Alles war perfekt! Das Réception-Team war genauso wie das Service-Team sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, das Frühstücksbuffet mehr als reichhaltig und auch das Abendessen ein Hit. Die wunderschöne Einrichtung und das authentische Gebäude haben das alles noch abgerundet. Wir haben uns sehr sehr wohl gefühlt.

Kurztrip in Israel

Pros: Freundlichkeit des Personales Ambience des um 1880 erbauten Hauses ist einmalig Pool sehr sauber und schön
Cons: Vielleicht die Feinheit der Menues. Kann man lernen
Location: Zu Fuss 15 Min. von der Altstadt entfernt
Mit Auto ist das Hotel schwierg zu finden, Verkehr ist enorm. Da ist Zürich ein Dorf dagegen. Perfekte Strassen und Autobahnen im ganzen Land, mit Mietwagen kein Problem. Die Altstadtnähe ist sehr gut...zu Fuss in 15 Min. am Damaskustor. Frühstück ist super. Abendessen auch korrekt, obwohl manchmal die Wahl der Zutaten nicht optimal ist.
