Photos perfectly convey antiquity and the exotic. Staff bends backwards for your comfort. Do not expect sleek modernity. Rooms, beds, bathrooms are very comfortable, and clean. The buffet serves delicious local cuisine. If your from the west, please don’t be a Snob by complaining there’s not an omelette station. Your here for the history.
There are many photo worthy corners in the lobby. The bar serves great cocktails and wine. Wine from Israel is excellent. Be a good guest. Observe the golden rules. People and groups visiting from all over the world are fascinating. Please be open to socialize. Steel yourself with pushy cabbies and vendors. Don’t respond, just ignore. Easy walk from Jaffa Gate and everything you could hope for is walking distance. Wife and I will stay at the Gloria on our return to Jerusalem.
