Back to Crowne Plaza Hotel Jerusalem Unforgettable, Unique Experience The Crowne Plaza Jerusalem may not be the King David Hotel, but as international hotels, this one is fantastic, it's ultimate highlight being the peaceful, colorful view of the city of Jerusalem. I wouldn't live there, but the stay was pleasant. Cleanliness isn't entirely thrown to the wind, but it could use improvement, which is probably why they are renovating it, and overall cleanliness is fairly good as far as oversees amenities go. The bathrooms are different than standard western restrooms, but are clean and very functional, as well as pretty. If you are staying in Jerusalem, especially as a second-time visitor, and are looking for something unique, I suggest this hotel. Jerusalem in itself is a beautiful place; this hotel, bar none, has the most incredible view of a city I've ever seen in my life from a hotel balcony and is a jem in the Jewel City , Jerusalem. Shell out the 200 bucks just for the view, and make sure you get it. You won't be dissappointed.
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Nov 21 2009 A disappointing stay I have led 29 tours to Israel and stayed in many of the hotels. The most disappointing of them is the Crowne Plaza in Jerusalem. This is, at best, a 3 star hotel. Our people reported to me air conditioning systems that were inadequate, toilets that did not function properly, TV sets that were old with faded pictures, carpets in desperate need of cleaning - none of which I have experienced in other similarly-ranked hotels. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone, nor will I ever use it again in subsequent tours to Jerusalem.
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Oct 27 2009 wish we were there now eveything we love it there. Feels like home to us , would not stay anywhere else.The quality and variety of food was the best. Rooms are very clean. I like the little room where you can iron your clothes. Lobby area is spotless. Great location for Feast of Tabernacles. Polite and helpful staff.
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Jul 31 2006 Good mid-level choice Have just returned from 3 days in Jerusalem where we stayed at the Crowne Plaza (formerly Holiday Inn). The hotel is a 5 minute cab journey (£3) from the Old City so the location is ok, if not prime. We stayed in a superior room which was ok - cosy but clean, and with a nice bathroom. Hotel facilities good enough - food was ok, shabbat dinner a bit mad (too many people, too much noise!), swimming pool (retractable roof) was ok... You can see where i'm going with this. At $180 per room per night, I think the Crowne Plaza was a good mid-priced option, certainly better located that the Regency (miles outa town), and the Novatel (edge of East Jerusalem). For a little bit more, go for the Sheraton if you can, but if you're price sensitive, the CP will do just fine...

Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Dec 07 2004 service, comfort and luxury?CROWNE PLAZA JERUSALEM THAT WAS NOT MY CASE. I THOUGHT I WOULD FIND THAT. ACTUALLY, THE ONLY SERVICE THEY GOT TO OFFER ME AND MY FRIEND WAS CLEANING UP ME, LITERALLY, BY ROBBERING EVERYTHING!YEP. NO SECURITY CAMERAS WORKING. AFTER ALL THESE, THEY TREATED US REALLY BADLY, WERE VERY UNKIND, LACK OF RESPECT, IS NOT A GOOD ENOUGH EXPRESSION!. 5 DAYS AFTER THIS, THEY CLEANED UP ANOTHER ROOM, IN LESS THAN 15 MINUTES!!!, YEA! SURE. IT´S A NICE HOTEL, THOUGH NOTHING SPECIAL, SERVICE REALLY BAD, BUT REALLY BAD!, ITS LOCATION IS PERFECT, FOOD TASTE GOOD EXCEPT FOR SOME COCROACHES FOUNDED AT RESTAURANT. YES, IT´S CLOSE TO THE CITY CENTER IN CASE YOU HAVE TO RUN TO BUY NEW CLOTHING, AND THE VIEW IS GREAT, WHEN YOU HAVE NO MONEY TO GET OUT OF THERE, AND YOU ARE FAR AWAY FROM HOME, KIND OF DESPERATE, AT LEAST YOU CAN GO TO THE TOP FLOOR TO GET THE BEST PIC OF THE CITY!. IT´S UP TO YOU. I SUGGEST SLEEPING IN A YOUTH HOSTEL CAN TURN OUT TO BE A BETTER EXPERIENCE!TRUST ME!.
