We just returned home from a 7-night stay at the King David Hotel. Wow! It was awesome. It's a historic hotel with a stately, old world, classic feel the minute you enter the front door. The lobby is gorgeous, the pool and outdoor area is stunning and everyone was friendly and lovely. The location was ideal. You can walk to the Mamilla shopping center (lots of stores and restaurants), walk to the old city through the Jaffa Gate, walk to First Station (restaurants and shops in a repurposed old railway station) and many other restaurants in both directions out the front door. We booked the king room with old city view and it did not disappoint. Honestly the photos don't do it justice at all. The view was much more breathtaking than it appears in my pics. I definitely think it's worth the extra money. We had the buffet breakfast included each morning and it was wonderful. There are so many interesting and delicious local foods, and they'll also do eggs to order if you want an omelet, etc. You'll find that they eat things for breakfast that American wouldn't necessarily think of as breakfast food (like Israeli salad, which is tomatoes and cucumbers chopped up) but somehow I got addicted to eating salad for breakfast. The dates, figs and halvah were all amazing. There's smoked salmon, herring, homemade granola, fresh yogurt, house made croissants (regular and chocolate), chocolate babka, basque cheesecake and so much more. The service was also great. We had the same waiter, Karim, just about every day and he became like a friend to us. He knew what we wanted as soon as we sat down. The bed was great, nice bed sheets and duvet blanket. There's a Nespresso machine with original pods in the room as well as an electric hot water kettle and tea bags. They provide bottled water every day in the room and a few complimentary sodas on the mini fridge. Housekeeping was friendly and they did a great job keeping our room clean and providing everything we needed. The only area for constructive criticism would be the room service. On our first night we tried to order a grilled cheese sandwich from the room service menu on our desk but we we were told that the menu had changed although they hadn't updated the menus in the rooms yet and that they no longer had grilled cheese sandwiches. (Kind of strange since it's pretty easy to whip up a grilled cheese sandwich.) We went ahead and ordered something else instead. Then on our last night we tried to order two burgers and we were told there were no burgers because the restaurant/kitchen that makes them was already closed. It wasn't even 8pm yet on a Tuesday night. Seemed like a burger should be a pretty basic item to be able to provide. Anyway, I asked if they had grilled cheese sandwiches instead and he said yes! Something's clearly a little off with room service. The man on the phone (possibly the same man both times) was not friendly or accommodating at all. He was the only staff member during our entire sta
