Jerusalem Panorama Hotel

Loved the view here. We enjoyed our stay of four days. Very close to old city. Parking convenient for this area.

This is an older hotel, built perhaps in the 1920s but with subsequent upgrades -- most importantly including AC. Situated on the east side of the Kidron Valley, the hotel boats a fantastic view of the Temple Mount and the Old City. My room was clean, safe, and very reasonably priced. They safely stored my car overnight and the sumptuous breakfast buffet on the top floor allowed us to see the morning sun rise on the Temple Mount and Old City. We were within walking distance of entering the Old City and thus did not have to hassle with moving our car. I would stay here again. If you can tolerate older carpet and color schemes, this could be a very nice stay for you.

The view from Jerusalem Panorama is incredible and only a short walk to Lions Gate. My room was clean and the staff very polite. The hotel is in East Jerusalem and this may not be suitable for all.

Breakfast buffet was great, but not kosher (many vegetarian items). Day clerk was very nice and helpful. Night clerk refused to give or sell us bottled water, even though he could have (I was told so in morning by their manager). We came back around midnight, and to my surprise there was not a single convenience store around the place. No vending machines in the hotel. There was a locked cooler on the 6th floor. The night clerk had the keys all the time, but only in the morning sold us a couple bottles. The hotel is right across from the Kotel, but it takes about 30 minutes walk to go around the cemetery. When we tried to cut across, arab kids threw a few stones at us. Toilet seat in the restroom is extremely inconvenient makes your knees face bathtub, and if you are over 5'5", it's hard to manage. Parking is fairly safe. Nothing happened to our car or any others in the lot. Summary: budget stay, fairly safe if you use cab, and quality comparable to $40 motel rooms in usa.

The personal is really nice, but the hotel gross. It´s hard to locate the hotel because don´t apperar on the gps.

The nite desk manager was professional, courteous and very helpful. Likewise the breakfast buffet manager worked hard for you to enjoy the fairly basic offering (there were fried and hard boiled eggs and an assortment of cheap cold cuts, cheeses and salads). The view of the old city from the breakfast floor was truely fantastic. The rooms have not be renovated since the '60s with threadbare once green (I think) indoor outdoor carpet splotched with numerous old stains. The beds, probably from the 80s were made of cotton batting reminisant of military cots. The walls were cracked and had been quickly coated in white paint. Shower and toilet old but predictable.

Great location with superb views of the old city. Staff was very helpful and pleasant to deal with. The rooms were very acceptable for the price and stayed 7 days and have no major complaints.

ADEQUATE HOTEL WITH GOOD VIEWS OF OLD CITY. GOOD BREAKFAST BUFFET. NEXT TO MOSQUE SO YOU WILL HEAR CALLS AT 3 AM. LOCATION NOT GREAT. CLOSE TO BUS BUT THEY COME EVERY 30 MINUTES. ROOMS NEED UPKEEP AS PATIO DOOR COULD NOT BE CLOSED. BATHROOM VERY TINY WITH HALF TUB AND SINK RIGHT OPPOSITE TOILET WHICH IS 6 INCHES FROM WALL.

Stayed there with family for a week in Nov. 2012. got out 8:30 every morning, returning after 21:00. Safe, friendly & not expencive hotel. Panorama of the old city seen from canteen is realy fantastic! Check room locks may not work properly. Location: on the Mount of Olives, 15 min by feet from two of old Jerusalim gates. Food: poor Room: clean enough, all necessary staff exists (except freezer which is not necessary if you are walking a lot)))

* Reasonable Rates * Good Service * Amazing View * Good Option for a Short Stay
