First-class hotel with sizable rooms. Any amenity you need is available. Nice size window you can open, with great view. Close proximity to markets and restaurants. Breakfast buffet was delicious and so many healthy choices. Dina at front desk was especially welcoming and friendly and also very helpful. She contacted man who ran gift shop and let us know when he would return. We will return to this hotel.

The Prima Royale is a good hotel with a great location. Despite being adjacent to a major street, it is tucked away on a quiet side street in a very nice neighborhood. Access is a little tough at the moment due to construction for the light rail expansion. The Old City, First Station and the German Colony are within easy walking distance. The rooms are small but clean with some stained furniture. Views from the roof are incredible and you get almost a 360 view of Jerusalem. Breakfast was good with slight variations every day and seating in a nice outdoor courtyard was available. It was unclear as to why the Shabbat dinner was held in a lower basement rather than the same area as breakfast. Shabbat dinner was good yet somewhat pricy which I think was a reflection of having so many meat options. While the staff spoke English, I think more of an effort should have been made for overseas guests such as having the Shabbat flyer also available in English and having English newspapers in the lobby in addition to Hebrew ones. I would stay here again.

Prima is a solid place to stay in Jerusalem. Convenient to a lot of attractions and sites and a nice walk to the Old City. I really appreciate the breakfast buffet with its range of good food and Yusuf who greets and helps with service is great and really friendly! My only complaint with the place is they need to improve their WiFi.

Response from the property

Dear Daniel Goodman, Thank you for your positive feedback about Prima Royale. I'm glad you enjoyed our convenient location and the pleasant walk to the Old City. Our breakfast buffet is indeed a highlight, and I'll pass on your appreciation to Yusuf for his friendly and professional service. I apologize for the inconvenience with the WiFi, and we're already working on upgrading the system to ensure a better browsing experience in the future. We look forward to welcoming you back for a perfect stay. Eliran Sinai, Assistant General Manager

I will be forever grateful for the level of professionality and kindness at this hotel. The calm neighbourhood is also a seldom gift. A sudden booking here led us to this truly SECOND HOME for international travellers in this Kosher hotel. I leave with a big blessing and warmth in my heart.

Dina at the front desk is incredible; she is extremely warm and accommodating and has helped make our stay comfortable and memorable. She greets us every day with a smile and always asks if we need anything. She really goes above and beyond! Faris and Samir gave us the best dinner experience. The service is top notch and the food is incredible, way above our expectations. The service and food is 5 stars at Prima Royale! This hotel will be by new go-to hotel for all my future stays in Israel. Top notch service and the sweetest and the most accommodating staff!

Good value for the price. Room is very comfortable for one person, might be a little small for two. Well serviced. Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast good, very nicely presented. Enjoyed eating it outside on the pretty patio, and also enjoyed spending some time in the evenings on the rooftop plaza.
