Charming vintage rustic feel with a clean touch. Easy access to hotel from airport. There is a pharmacy, a small convenience store and restaurant built into the first floor. Owner and staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Perfect location to all old city attractions and buses to Bethlehem right outside the Jaffa gate. There is a nice modern outdoor strip mall outside gate next to hotel as well with restaurants and shops.

Friendly staff but hotel room was very dirty incluiding the sheets. Made the beds sloppy did not throw away garbage the last two days of my stay. I won’t be staying there when i return to israel. Gave a two star because some staff was very friendly besides that the hotel stay wasn’t nice especially for the price i paid.

Great location but entrance is up an alleyway with difficult to see sign.
The manager is first class, very helpful and friendly.
Interesting history and character of the building.
Breakfast is excellent.
Good size room.
Quite a bit of street noise at busy Jaffa Gate.
Bed only a double not a queen and hard. Top sheet was for a smaller bed.
Lots of stairs and only a luggage elevator for first level.

I have now stayed in the New Imperial Hotel twice for a total of eighteen nights, all in room #8. It is my home away from home. The Dajani family is one of the five most prominent families in Jerusalem, and their management of the New Imperial is flawless. The rooms are well-appointed, service is prompt and professional, the daily breakfast is delicious, and the family goes out of their way to make guests feel at home. I love it. I miss it! I'll be back.

The hotel is in a great location for the main points of interest in the old town. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It’s an old property and has some quirks and unique features which is part of the charm. Would stay again.

The breakfast was very different than a typical American breakfast. Everything fresh, lots of vegetables and healthy food. The staff was wonderful and it was conveniently located inside the old city. Great restaurant just around the corner called The Oak. Lots of shopping around and the roof top is wonderful for views and time together. Most of the staff are family and were some of the nicest people we met during our stay. Also listen to Amir the man running the place. He can get you tours and taxis a lot cheaper than you on your own.

This was my second time staying - last year’s week before Sukkot also. Kind and generous hospitality and friendliness at every turn. Great location. Wonderful rooftop. Delicious breakfast every day. Water and coffee 24/7
In the Old City - short walk to Kotel, Mamilla and Ben Yehuda. Taxis near by. Train from airport to CBD and then light rail to City Hall stop and walk to Jaffa gate. Well done dear friends!
