Golden Walls Hotel

We had a fantastic stay here last month. The Staff is top notch and very accommodating. The buffets for breakfast and dinner were fabulous with many tasty options. We felt very safe here. The beds and pillows were comfy and the shower had such great pressure. Excellent location to boot!

This HOTEL is in a wonderful location in OCCUPIED East Jerusalem within easy reach of The Holy Shrines in and around the city walls. Opposite Damascus Gate for entrance to OLD CITY good public transport nearby. Good food service fair price .

Perfect location, food, hospitality, ambience. Just a pity not allowed to play the nice piano at the corner of the living room. The bed was nice and also provided their own packaging of bath utitilties.

Room had good size. We had 4 beds that were very comfortable. The magnifying mirror in the bathroom was a bonus. The linen and the towels were white and clean. The towels were changed everyday. Breakfast was very good with a lot of choices - salads, cheese, eggs, juices, good coffee, tea, fruits. Everything that you could eat in the morning was there. The food was fresh and well presented. The hotel and reception are at the first floor. No elevator until there. You need to climb with your luggage up. The windows were keeping the noise out of the room. The mini bar was very small. The closet was very spacious. All the people working in the hotel were very nice and ready to help you any way you needed. The hotel has all the space nicely decorated. The terrace on the roof was very beautiful. We did not try the dinner but I think that matches the quality of breakfast. It cost about 150 NIS/person. The bus terminal is around the corner. For Mount of Olives - bus no 255/275 can be taken from there. You need to purchase an electronic wallet to put on it at least 30 NIS. The card cost 5 NIS and can be purchased from a store near by. You can use it on any means of public transport. We took the train from Ben Gourion until to Yitzhak Navon and it was perfect- 20 minutes ride. If you do not heavy luggage you can take tram 1. From Damascus gate to the hotel there are about 450 m. But now the tram lines are being built in the area and the side walks are a little bit dusty.

We stayed here in April 2023. for 1 week. This is an excellent modern hotel located very close to the Old City in between Herod's Gate and Damascus Gate. The walk to the Western Wall, Church of Holy Sepulchre and Al Aqsa mosque takes about 10-12 minutes. The buffet breakfast provides a wide variety of items and the rooms and public areas are very clean. They have double and triple rooms and for us managed to place a mattress in a triple room to make it a quad. The reception is on the first floor and has a large seating area as well as a non alcoholic bar. On the 3rd floor is a rooftop terrace with a glass enclosed dining area. Altogether an excellent and pleasant stay.

Don’t go there if: 1. You would like to have a quiet night. Both outside and inside is very noisy, with people playing on the corridor; 2. If you rent a car – getting there is very difficult and parking there not easy; 3. If you expect advice – it took me two months and several tries to have them answer my question (the answer was that they will do nothing); 4. If you would like to have dinner – restaurant is closed and there is no other option available in walking distance. And neighborhood is not friendly or safe. For this price you can have many better options in the city, so my sincere advice – avoid this place
