The front desk staff was outstanding. The gentleman that was at the desk when we picked up our bags to head to the airport was so knowledgeable and proud of the property that I think he should be allowed time to provide tours - they would be excellent!
The staff in the lobby were super friendly and informative. Everything was really perfect.,highly recommend this magical and peaceful place for a restful break away.
Amazing staff with clean rooms. With issues in the region tourism is down but we didn’t experience any negative impact. Beautiful historic facilities and it’s always my favorite place to stay in Jerusalem!!!

I love the YMCA which is one of the most beautiful and convenient locations in Jerusalem but the restaurant was sadly closed when I was there and the promised breakfast was unavailable.
It would be nice if they served lunch and dinner also having a smart tv with internet would have made the stay even better it is nice that the rooms have fridges in them though
The grounds are beautiful and the hotel is an architectural gem. Everything was immaculate. Desk staff friendly and helpful. I travel to Jerusalem fairly often and this will definitely be my new go-to lodging.
The staff was great minus their 7am to 10 am breakfast. I cant eat somewhere if I show up and you tell me its going to be another 20 mins before you open. The YMCA gym is a great bonus. Just like a YMCA in US. Just add a smoothie snack bar. The location is great. The gym hours are odd. It would be nice if you could work out before the city got going. 10am to 10pm... granted people in israel work out late so i get it. But it is not cool if you are working an American schedule. But if you dont mind working out after your activities its a good deal. The elevator is a bit on the small side. The building is nice. If you are a practical person it checks a lot of boxes.
One of the best and affordable stays in West Jerusalem. Friendly and helpful staff, ample breakfast buffet and strategically located. A long history and with significant peace work amongst Israeli Jews, Muslims and Christians. Loved everything about my stay here.

Hotel is beautiful. the staff is excellent. The breakfast is great. The health club facilities are top notch--what more can I say
The best things about the hotel are the location and the staff. Francis was there whenever we needed anything. The rest of the staff was great as well.
Only negatives were that the A/C wasn’t available and the lights flickered at times.
Excellent location! Very cooperative staff. Room is comfort and everything in it worked as expected. Breakfast is good and includes everything one would expect, but somewhat basic. The hotel has a priavte parking which makes it very convenient if arriving with car. Very good value for price.
We stayed first 3 nights, and then 2 more because, lucky us, we were there the day of the attacks and the flights were cancelled. Hotel is nice, safe. Nicer than pictures would show you. Francis, Shehan (sorry about spelling) and manager were all very nice, helpful before and during the crisis. We were lucky to stay here during the rough time. Hotel is walking distance from the touristic part of Jerusalem (inside the walls)....10 minutes.

Chef Jarod's breakfasts were delicious (just wish it had been included in price of staying there), beautiful grounds, lovely and helpful staff, bell tower view is the best!
Wish the chairs for the "restaurant" had less holes and a better introduction to the place when checking in. Rooms hangers were a bit dusty and a musky smell in room (3rd floor I guess hasn't gotten the rennovation yet).
We found ourselves stranded in Jerusalem when the most recent war broke out. The YMCA offered great hospitality and security while we sheltered. The grounds are beautiful, peaceful, and clean. Service was helpful, friendly, compassionate, and very capable. It was a stressful time for sure, but the staff did everything it could to make our stay comfortable. We will forever be grateful.
Excellent property, but could still use some upgrading. We stayed 4 nights, and one night the air conditioning only felt like a fan, but besides that, all was good. The YMCA gym, pool, jacuzzi is a real bonus, first class facilities and can share with locals. Very convenient to walk to all. Very quiet, no traffic noise. Very quiet room. Lobby area is beautiful. Shout out to Pauline, she was a big help getting contact info for us.
