Jerusalem Panorama Hotel

My only criticism is that I could hear noise from the road below my window and calls to prayer from a nearby mosque but when I closed the windows and turned on the air conditioning (which worked well) the noise was much subdued, so I slept reasonably well. The only other problem was that as I stayed in an Arab hotel in an Arab district of Jerusalem, the Jewish owned Nesher Cherut taxis (shared taxis far cheaper than ordinary taxis) refused to collect me at the hotel on the day of my departure to take me to the airport. There is no equivalent cheap Arab taxi service. This meant I had the inconvenience of travelling to the airport by public transport first by tram, then changing to a bus, then changing to another bus. To have travelled by ordinary taxi would have been far more expensive. All this of course is not the fault of the hotel.

Reasonable hotel for the money. Friendly staff. Had difficulty getting TV station(s). View truly exceptional.

the first that you notice is the view-totally awesome overlooking the Kidron Valley. The room was simple, but very nice. I'm not one to spend time in my room other than for sleeping so it more than served my purpose. Having spent time in Jerusalem before, one thing that was noticeable was water pressure, it was great. Hotel staff were great as are all the people in east Jerusalem. Walking distance from the Old City. I recommend it to all who are going for the purpose of experiencing another culture.

Well - for a cheap hotel - you will be happy - the rooms are clean and beds comfortable - but a bit rough round the edges. The location has a great view - a 20NIS taxi ride from the city or 20 minute walk - 10 mins to mount of Olives site! So great location. Staff very friendly and obliging- car park very useful - especially if you have a car!

I enjoyed my stay at the Panorama; the staff were very nice and didn't even charge me when I needed to print off a few things for my travel (even though it was a large stack of paper). The free breakfast was decent and the hotel is within walking distance of the Old City.

The only nice thing about this hotel is the view of the old city, but you can get the same view from the seven arches hotel on mt olive. the tv did not work, the phone did not work. they did have a free wifi, though. the view from the breakfast hall is nice, and breakfast was nice as well. There is not much around the hotel, so you would have to take the taxi to get to the decent shops or to the old city, and the cab drivers will try to rip you off because they know you don't have a choice. I will not stay there again, I would choose some other hotel with same view into the Old city. there is a mosque next door, so I was woken up at 3am because it was announcement for the prayer, that was annoying being that I was exhausted. unless you want to be woken up for prayer, you wouldn't mind it at all

This hotel is in a good location for Old Jerusalem such that you can walk to where to want to go. Although the hotel is not in top condition the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff more than make up for it. You are not an anonymous person, rather a guest.

Good hotel with reasonable price. Staff are very friendly and helpfull. Within walking distance from the Al-Aqusa masjid.

This is a basic hotel room. They did not have a printed dinner menu only a verbal one, chicken, fish, lamb. Breakfast was more than adequate buffet. The neighborhood is on the Palestine side of Jerusalem, restaurants were few, I went to the pizza place around the corner and did takeout back to the hotel. The view from the breakfast room is amazing, you see the south and east walls of the Temple Mount and some of the Jewish cemetary. You can walk over to the Lion's Gate to enter the Old City if you do not have walking issues.

My wife and I stayed at the Jerusalem Panorama Hotel for two weeks in March of this year. We miss Israel and especially miss waking up to coffee and breakfast each morning on the 3rd floor overlooking the Kidron Valley, This place truly has a beautiful Panoramic view of the old City and more! Everyone who works in this Hotel is friendly and helpful, We loved the man on the third floor who would bring us our coffee and offer to make us an omelet or fried eggs each morning, He has such a good heart! We found the Old City, and all the way to Ben Yehuda to be a pleasant walk from the Hotel (mind you my wife and I are still in our 20's) not to mention Many Biblical places are just a couple blocks from the Hotel, Plus blocks from the Hotel there are many Taxis waiting to give rides anywhere you want to go, my wife and I swam in the Dead sea, hung out in Jericho, went to Bethlehem sometimes you can find a cab rite outside the Hotel. My Wife and I stopped everyday for snacks and soft-drinks at the mini-market right across the street. You can also get Falafel next door to the mini-market and there are fresh produce and honey vendors on the corner. My wife had a bit of a cold during the second week of our stay....and guess what? they have a drugstore rite next door to the Hotel! We will definitely be staying at the Jerusalem Panorama Hotel again!
