I am a tour guide and the last time I was at King Solomon in Jerusalem was November-December 2007. The hotel is spacious, big rooms, wide beds, large hall etc. But everything seems like an old empire. It is obvious that this hotel had its best moments many years ago. The price is OK, the food is nice. A lot... more

This hotel's best feature is its location. A fifteen minute walk to the city centre or the Old City and close to many restaurants, shops and other facilities. The views from the deluxe superior room balconies are wonderful and make up for other shortcomings of the hotel. We booked 2 of these rooms which were very reasonable in terms of... more

Traveled with a group and stayed here for 4 nights, 1 over Shabbat. The food was good, the location was great, but the hotel is outdated. I have to agree that there is a stinky smell throughout, and while we stayed on the non-smoking floor, cigarette smoke came into our room periodically. We happened to have a room with a... more

Very large room. 2 double beds in room and balcony. Excellent location. Walking distance to shopping and Old City. Average hotel. We chose all 1st class hotel category, but not 1st class by USA standards . All of the hotels we stayed at in Israel were just average. Adequate for our budget, but not excellent. Room was for 3 persons.... more

Quantity rather than quality sums up this hotel. The rooms and beds are enormous and the location is great - slap bang between the New and Old Cities. It's also very cheap. My massive room cost a mere $80 per night. Sounds too good to be true? Well that's because King Solomon has seen better days. The rooms, while well... more

The King Solomon Hotel, Jerusalem, is located within an easy walk to the Old City, Montefiore's windmill and Ben Yehuda Street. It is well priced and clean, but needs a bit of an overhaul. The negatives: on a busy street - traffic can be heard all night long; the fountain in the lobby has water that smells a bit stagnant;... more

My husband and I stayed the King Solomon on 2 occasions, both during the high holidays. Our room was beautiful with a wonderful view of the Old City. The hotel was clean & provided excellent kosher service during a holiday time.The onsite synagogue was well attended. The staff was very helpful, going out of their way to accomodate us. We... more

We spent three nights at the hotel and despite what we read in earlier reviews, we found it to be clean and well run. The breakfasts were typically Israeli style buffets with an abundant supply of salads, cheeses, rolls and eggs. We also partook of an evening dinner buffet which was excellent. We booked our 'super deluxe room' with a... more

This is DEFINATELY NOT a 5 star hotel, it is unclean and smells horrible( abit of sewage and an old age home). Everything is very old. The staff is unhelpful- they could not even give us advise on any tours in Jerusalem!! The only good thing about the hotel was it's location and we had a good view from our... more
