Being away from home for over a week working, you must do it at the King David. I felt at home. Please know that Hany the Dining Manager knew how I took my coffee and when I fell ill with a cold, his remembrance and attention were so comforting. King David is a magical place and anyone would feel like a king or queen here.

The stay at the hotel was a unique experience - Its design really captures the essence of Jerusalem, and the facilities are of high quality. The breakfast is excellent as well. Also, we highly recommend the historic tour in the area by Dr. Haim. It is offered for free by the hotel, as part of the stay
