“an oasis in a fascinating place”
Very atmospheric, comfortable, beautiful gardens, a real oasis in an interesting part of Jerusalem,very convient to the old city,much nicer than the huge hotels on King David street
“An Oasis in Jerusalem”
Peaceful, beautiful, comfortable, stunningly landscaped and well-located for visits to the Old City. The restaurants are superb, the bar is comfortable, large and popular, and the breakfast as good as any European hotel's breakfast. Three caveats: (1) the hotel is near a mosque, which broadcasts loud and long (10 -15 min) recorded calls to prayer several times a day. You may want to ask for a room that doesn't face in that direction. (2) the hotel is in East Jerusalem; some people are uncomfortable about that, though the area is perfectly safe and the staff is courteous to a fault. (3) standard single rooms, though nicely appointed, are on the small side; standard doubles are quite ample. The outdoor pool is excellently serviced and a pleasure to use after a day's sightseeing.
“proche de la vieille ville-ideal pour excursions pedestres”
service souriant-un des meilleurs restaurants du pays
“Amazing experience”
Stayed at the American Colony on our first trip to Jersualem. Upgraded to a Jr. Suite at no charge. Beautiful, comfortable room. Service was outstanding and dinner in the Restuarant was amazing. Only complaint: hot dishes for bkfst buffet were a bit on the cold side. Wouldn't stay anywhere else in Jerusalem after this wonderful experience.
“Nice escape”
This is an exceptionally nice, clean property that is located within a 10 minute walk to the walled city. On-site restaurant is outstanding and has a very quiet, romantic enclosed garden. The staff is very courteous and helpful. We will definitely stay in this hotel on return trips. We have lived overseas for the past 10 years and have traveled extensively - this is one of the nicest hotels in which we have stayed.
“hotel un peu loin du mur mais le charme etst la”
tres bon hotel pour visiter avec emotion jerusalem
“An exceptional Hotel”
Whilst on business recently in Israel, I had an overnight visit to Jerusalem, and had an amazing experience at the American Colony Hotel. I had heard so much about this hotel, that I was excited to finally have the opportunity to stay. The furniture, and ambience all seem to relate to the buildings Ottoman history. The service was excellent, from the warm and friendly Reception staff (with a lovely drink to welcome me), to the restaurant staff, who seemed to go out of their way to make sure that I was happy with my meal. In the evening, it was lovely to sit in the Summer Garden sipping cocktails. Even though the Hotel is a former Pashas Palace (built in the 19C, according to the very nice General Manager who I met in the Summer Garden,), it has all the mod cons you would expect from a 5 star hotel (including free broadband internet all over the hotel). The rate seemed very reasonable compared to similar standard Hotels in Jerusalem. My only complaint, was that my room was slightly small. I booked a standard single room. Next time (and I can assure there will be a next time) I plan on upgrading to a superior or even one of the Classic Pasha rooms. The difference in price is not that much, but the rooms are much larger.
“American Colony - A Lovely Gem”
We enjoyed our stay. On arrival, we were greeted with a glass of champagne at the front desk. The hotel is filled with flowers in bloom and has a stately, charming air. Our room was lovely. The included breakfast the hotel offered was excellent. The Italian restaurant is also nice, but doesn't give you any feel for where you are -- better to go out. The staff were friendly and accomodating. Parking is easy and as I recall, free of charge. The hotel is in East Jerusalem -- a short walk to the Old City. If it's important to you to be near all the big hotels like the King David, this is not the right choice, but if you like boutique hotels with plenty of ambience -- as opposed to cookie cutter luxury -- this is the place for you.
“Wonderful stay in an exceptional hotel”
We really enjoyed the hotel, dining experience and grounds of the American Colony Hotel. I would certainly return for another visit and know it would be a highlight of seeing Jerusalem again.
“I will stay at this hotel the next time I go to Jerusalem.”
The hotel was great! Highly recommend! Will go back to this holtel if I go back to Jerusalem!
