King Solomon Review

The centerpiece of the lobby is a huge, spherical sculpture of Jerusalem by renowned sculptor Frank Meisler. A split-level atrium reveals shops half a floor down and the dining room a floor below that. The standard guest rooms are average-sized, but the more deluxe ones are quite large. The decor is attractive, with matching drapes and bedcovers, dark wood, translucent glass tabletops, and prints above the beds. The small pool (on an upper floor) offers a stunning view of southeast Jerusalem. The hotel has a large religious Jewish clientele, especially on Friday and Saturday and Jewish holidays. Over the weeks of Passover (spring) and Sukkoth (October), room rates soar, but regular rates are a good value.

    Avoid this hotel (at least until management changes). Despite a good location and nice rooms, the management of this hotel ruined our stay. We were treated with rudeness, indifference and extreme arrogance. We were overcharged. We will never go back to this hotel. If location and quality are a priority, I would spend a little more and go elsewhere.
