Top hotels in Old City

New Imperial Hotel
Great location but entrance is up an alleyway with difficult to see sign. The manager is first class, very helpful and friendly. Interesting history and character of the building. Breakfast is excellent. Good size room. Quite a bit of street noise at busy Jaffa Gate. Bed only a double not a queen ...
