Disliked: Cleanliness
The staff were wonderful- the manager Pauline (?) very accommodating. But overall the property was disappointing, although a great location on Old City, nowhere to park car or even un load car! We had to park 20 minutes walk and walk all of our luggage in on foot. They said no taxis could enter. This was a huge problem. Also the rooms had garbage on floor, and the brekkie seemed like it wasn’t made that morning. The beds were decent, the showers fine. Just overall not my favorite accommodation and prob not one I would return to.

Pros: location, location, location. Rooms and property are clean. Staff at breakfast very friendly and helpful. Cons: poor air conditioning in one of our rooms. Even thought we brought it to the front desk attention twice upon check in nothing was done and when we came back at 11pm we were offered to move, we were too tired to move so fan was given. Thru our 4 night stay the AC in our room worked well only for 1 day. We were told that it’s the case in every room which isn’t true as our friends stayed in the room next to us and their AC worked well. Electricity in the entire property went out daily from an hour to up to 3 hours. Nothing was ever announced or told to the guests about it. Assistance from the front desk was very average, we weren’t really listened too before the answers were provide (obviously incorrectly)

Our experience at The Sephardic House Hotel was nothing short of exceptional. Nestled just steps away from the Zion Gate in the Jewish Quarter, this beautifully restored building offers the rare opportunity to stay inside Jerusalem’s Old City while enjoying modern comforts and warm, attentive hospitality. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the elegance and charm of the historic architecture. The interior courtyard, with its stone arches and serene ambiance, evokes the rich cultural heritage of the Sephardic community while providing a peaceful retreat from the city’s energy. The rooms are tastefully decorated, immaculately clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The location is truly unbeatable. Within minutes, we could walk to the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and countless other holy and historical sites. Being able to explore the Old City early in the morning and late in the evening, when it’s quieter and more atmospheric, was a unique privilege.

Location is hard to beat. In the ancient Jerusalem the Jewish Quarter. The A/c in the room was not helpful. It was keeping the room at about 26 degrees while outside were 35. In the evening we would open the windows. Even though it was 16 degrees outside and the room would cool down some, as soon as we would start the a/c it would rush back up.to 26 which made sleeping difficult. Staff couldn't help. The breakfast on Friday was outrageous. Half the size of the previous days and all the warm dishes were cold. But the staff cooked some dishes over again upon request so it was ok. Probably best to stay there during cooler months since the location is top.

I liked that the location is 5 min walk to the Western Wall. The breakfast was really great and the staff was nice and helpful. The Shabbat dinner was very special (but that is extra - not included in price). The only thing I didn’t like was that the central air conditioning made it very cold for me and there was no solution for it other than extra blankets and pillows. Also there is no laundry which can be a problem for a longer stay. Otherwise everything was great.

Staff at breakfast is kind of rude, they just get the food out of the kitchen and that’s it, nothing warm,nothing prepare for guests, and you can see them eating while guests are still having breakfast the breakfast hotel hours. Property is ok but not for the price of a 4star hotel.the entry door is even broken you have to push it really hard to getting bc the security guard that’s sitting there i guess is for decoration, bc he doesnt even ask if you are a hotel guest so i guess anybody can get in. Reception staff is ok, but they are not kind ehen we check in they didn’t even bother to explain the location of the hotel in the area, neither any eating or attractions suggestions. The bed is comfortable. Elevator was always an issue we were in the 5th floor and elevator often only made it to 4. Definitely not a 4star.
