The Leonardo Plaza Jerusalem welcomes you to the heart of historic, iconic Jerusalem with five-star hospitality just walking distance from the Western Wall and Old City. Thanks to an enviable central location, this luxurious, family-friendly hotel ably fulfills any need, whether your visit is for business, pleasure, or spiritual reasons. All of the hotel's 255 rooms and suites showcase magnificent views of the surrounding cityscape, as well as beautiful furnishings and décor. Each room is outfitted with conveniences such as A/C and free Wi-Fi, while parents traveling with small children are encouraged to use the hotel's Welcome Baby service for optimal hassle-free relaxation.

We had a totally solid experience at this hotel.

When we originally booked it, we got it because it was less than half the price of where other relatives were staying at David Citadel for 600$ a night, and still a short walk there and to everywhere.

We had an awesome experience.

When we checked in Zed the front desk person was wonderfully welcoming and got us setup in an amazing room with a balcony on the 21st floor with incredible views.

Elevators work quick and reliable, room was a little bit dated (needs new carpet and also bathroom needs a shower curtain), but water pressure was awesome and great hot water and it was clean and comfortable and spacious.

The breakfast buffet was AMAZING and free.

Good security in evening.

The hotel is right on a lovely park, perfect for morning walks and so close to other local hotels and the old city.

Save some money and stay at this old diamond in the rough.

We stayed four nights and enjoyed our time here. Great location as it is a 15 minute walk to the Jaffa gate to enter the Old City and 10-15 minute walk to Ben Yehuda street, Mamilla mall, and Mehane Yehuda market. Rooms were spacious.Breakfast was outstanding with made to order omelets, and fresh array of cheeses, breads, fruit, hot entrees, pastries, roasted vegetables and more. But best of all was our view of the Old City. We had rooms with balconies and the views were breathtaking. Staff was very helpful and responsive.

Best parts: the wait and cooking staff during breakfast is top both hot and attentive. Beautiful options.

The rooms are horrific for a hotel and acceptable if staying with elderly people who don’t need to fix everything or change the decor. Water raining out of the ceiling in my bathroom - they stopped it but didn’t move my room. It sounded like a rainstorm through the wall - that’s how much water was coming out. Towels so old they were surely from when my grandmother got married.

Time for ownership to take all the money this hotel has made over the years and provide a major upgrade on the rooms. It’s so old the decor is literally decades - 2 to 3 generations behind the times.

The number one reason I will not stay here again is the housekeeping which almost doesn’t exist after staying here for 3 years straight. Towels and washcloths taken but not replaced, beds made with shorted sheets, broken sinks with water in them that weren’t fixed the entire day.

Lots of memories over the years but this isn’t my grandmothers house and I expect a certain level of comfort and cleanliness when I travel.

If you're not orthodox with a family, this is not the place for you. The place looks run down, from outside and inside. rooms look nothing like the hotel's professional pictures. The carpet is old and moldy and gave us terrible allergies. The furniture was dirty, especially the bed's headboard. Service was terrible and rude. It took room service 20 minutes to call me back because they did not have anyone to take the order. Once the food arrived, they served it on a cafeteria-style tray and tossed it on the table. There is no minibar and when I asked the waiter for 2 Coca Colas, he replied that I should go downstairs to the lobby to buy those from the shop or vending machine. I was appalled. The service at the food hall (note, not a restaurant) was also bad. When I asked for hot water for tea, they told me I should go serve myself from a stand that had the hot water. The room was dirty, with dirty tables with dirty plates, food spilled all over the floor and other guests at the buffet would touch the food and put it back, for example the bread and fruit, which I found disgusting.
Lastly, I left behind in the closet a jacket and a pair of pants. I called the hotel's lost and found for 3 straight days and they could not find it. They finally found it "in the laundry", after I engaged Ronit, the client relations manager. She is the only saving grace at that hotel. She is incredibly nice, helpful and was very apologetic. She should be working at a better hotel.

(Leonardo Plaza on King George Street) We arrived late afternoon with a tour group (planned for months) only to be told our rooms would not be ready "for a few hours". We were told the reason for this was that it was Shabat and current guests were staying later. We did not get our room until 9 pm, and some in the group did not get their rooms until 10pm. when we got our room, it was obvious the carpet had not been vacuumed as we could see hair, food particles, and bits of paper. The sheets looked as if they only been straightened an did not smell as if they had been washed. Exhausted, we waited until morning to report this. We were assured it would be taken care of. They changed the sheets, but still did not vacuum the floor. We reported it again. No resolution. After reporting it 3 times, the carpet was finally vacuumed. Towels and facecloths were inconsistently replaced. The building in general is run down, with the cracks in the tiling and tub. Every interaction we had with the staff was pleasant; they were very nice and polite, but did not follow through with our requests. The staff in the dining room were also very friendly. The food left a lot to be desired with some dishes looking like they had been heated up again from the night before. Considering this is a 5 star hotel, I was disappointed to say the least.

This place is like an out of date 3 star motel. Let's start with the one good thing - the location is good, just 10 minute walk to the Old City and a 10 minute walk to shops and restaurants.

However the staff are rude and unhelpful. The concierge was never there (if they have one at all). The rooms are in poor condition with old, scratched fittings - my air conditioning barely worked even after I called maintenance, light bulbs needed changing, the shower over the bath drained slowly. One of my friends had furniture and fittings in her room held together with masking tape. Another of my friends had a power socket come off in their hands.

The pool attendant sat on his phone and you had to get your own towels from the spa or your room. The pool closed at 6 pm - most inconvenient when you return from a long day touring at about that time. The pool chairs were dirty. The pool bar was never attended and you could not even get a drink of cold water next to the pool. There are no irons in the room and the ironing room had a cover on the board with large holes, exposing the foam underneath. The breakfast was like a cafeteria, with low quality food, and the staff, except for one man, serving coffee, surly. An unhappy unfriendly place, which should be either completely renovated or better still, demolished. We were there five nights and have told the tour company which booked us there, never to use this hotel again.

We are checking out soon, after 3 nights, a couple with a 9 year old and a 1.4 year old. Unfortunately, I can't say anything but ok about this hotel. The hotel is huge and not modern at all. Rooms are nice and big, but not clean!!! We moved from one room to another because of noise fom the construction outside,open electricity spots a bathroom that didn't work,and the master bed was two seperated mattresses. Felt like they tried their luck with us on that room. So we got a bigger room with a nice view, but also not clean enough. They came to clean the room at 3pm, when the kids were resting, so we asked them to come later. Until check out, we are still waiting for them to clean the room... Another thing- the hotel sepoused to be a family friendly hotel, but the facilities are not. The pool is very deep, even on the shallow part, the lifeguard played with his phone, even though smoking is prohibited, people were smoking... our boy was pretty disappointed. Breakfast is good, staff is mostly nice and helpful. Location is great. No oarking at the hotel! The parking lot gets full very fast and there's not a lot of parking at the area, so for a family, its not very easy. And one more thing- watch out for the hidden light switches in the bed. One of us moved at night and all the lights in the room suddenly went on. So, our Jerusalem family vacation was lots of fun, but probably could be better in another hotel for this price.

I had MANY significant problems with my stay causing me to never want to come back:
1) there was a line of many people to check in and only 1 person working check in.
2) the room smelled of terrible chemichal cleaning products, I had to open all of the windows
3) when making the reservation I said I required a minifridge in the room for medication. I was told I would have one. I did not. After waiting an hour, I was brought a dirty fridge with no shelves. After at least 30 min someone came to clean it. I was told no fridges came with shelves (which it not true).
4) my had a blanket but no sheets.
5) the TV turned on but all the channels were fuzzy.
6) the breakfast was ok. But the guy making the omlets wasn't wearing a mask over his nose and was sneezing into the eggs.
7) The dinner was good.
8) When I asked for a wine opener, it took 45 mintures for someone to come and then he wouldn't let me do it. He opened it with the bottle between his legs!

There were things that I didn't appreciate about my experience.
1) I tried to book online, the website wasn't working so I couldn't get the discounted price offered for online booking.
2) When I spoke to a representative she was very pushy about singing up for their member club. I now have an unncessary memberhip as I won't be staying here agaon.

This hotel placed us in a room with a mold covered shower head (photo attached). We had to call the front desk 3 times to get them to fix it. After we were repeatedly ignored, we went in person and the receptionist offered to switch us to two rooms- both of which had mold in the bathrooms (more photos attached). They refused to show us a room without mold in the bathroom. Finally they agreed to replace the shower head but it took 2 more calls for someone to actually fix it. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else- for the amount we paid, I am extremely disappointed at the experience. The hotel also made me sick- probably because I was breathing in black mold.
