"My first time staying here. It is by far the best hotel. Classy but not stuffy. There is a large lobby with several restaurants to chose from. Will stay again."

"This is a very nice hotel. Probably the cleanest and the friendliest and the prettiest of the many hotels we've stayed at this trip in Israel. The balcony in our room was large and generous, and I could see the Temple Mount complex from it. This is Jerusalem, joe. The level of dress and composure is far more respectful then you might find in tel Aviv. One thing I wish I'd known about this hotel was that it does seem to cater to a religious crowd. There is a synagogue in the hotel itself, and very large synagogue just down the block. On my next trip to Jerusalem I would not hesitate to stay here again. It's in walking distance to essentially all the old traditional sites in the city."

"Staying at Hashemi Hotel was truly one of the highlights of my time in Jerusalem. Located just a few steps from the vibrant Damascus Gate and within walking distance to all major holy sites – the Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and Al-Aqsa Mosque – it offers the perfect base for exploring the Old City. The rooftop terrace is absolutely stunning. Whether you’re enjoying breakfast with a panoramic view or watching the sunset over the golden dome and ancient rooftops, it’s a moment of peace and beauty that stays with you. The hotel staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful – always ready with a smile, and full of local recommendations.. "

"Absolutely stunning hotel! Even more beautiful in person than in the photos. I loved the stone architecture and the Orthodox Christian icons displayed throughout the hallways—they added such a unique and peaceful touch. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the buffet breakfast and dinner were both delicious. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from Jaffa Gate, Mamilla shops, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the Old City. Unfortunately the war broke out while there but the staff were extremely helpful and provided is with meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I will definitely be back. "
