Our family stayed at the Sultan's Palace as part of our son's Bar Mitzvah trip. The location is great, quiet yet close to the main road for easy transportation (we had family staying at the Dan Boutique Hotel which was less than a minutes walk away). Inside was spotless clean & we had planty of room (10 in our party). The downstairs was great for all the kids & the 2 main bedrooms are simply delightful. The stone architecture & ancient beauty of the house is to be admired - we will certainly stay there again next time we stay in Jerusalem. Just a side note - the helper Alice is simply lovely & was a big help when we needed her.
Recommended for:Sightseeing, families with young children, families with teenagers.

We hosted a Bnai Mitzvah in Jerusalem this June. Being able to host several families from around the world in the same household comfortably--actually luxuriously--was terrific. We had parties in their huge dining room, which easily holds 16. Excellent value--the cost of us putting up 3 families was a fraction of the cost of putting people in hotel rooms and far more fun. Easy parking--you don't need a car Panoramic view of the old city is breathtaking. Their picture is good--but sunsets, and other parts of the day are a real treat and a constant reminder of what a special place Jerusalem and the Old City is. The Abu Tour area is convenient, quiet, safe and pretty. Easy 10-15 minute walk to the Old City. The Mount Zion Hotel 2 minutes away has probably the best swimming pool in the city, and the King David Hotel about a 15 minutes walk away is a treat for a drink or dinner, though dining in the nearby German Colony is even better. When we told our tour guide where we were staying--he said, let's meet at your house, the view to start is better than the place I usually start at. When the rabbi came to the house, he asked us for the owner's contact information, because he wanted to put up his family there when they come from the U.S. next year. The kitchen is clean, spacious and well suited for cooking and entertaining. On one night we brought in a caterer the owner recommended who made a gourment (kosher) Morroccan Feast. Other nights we cooked. The house is quite spacious and is the best of both worlds. Built over 200 years ago, there is a 1700's feel of stone, high ceilings, sense of history, combined with the modern amenities such as WiFi, mutli-zoned air conditioning, new kitchen appliances, good showers (they obviously put a lot into upgrades). There are two fine master bedrooms--they were both so nice we could not decide which one we wanted. Both have very high ceilings--almost 20 feet high in one, the other in the front with its own bathroom and larger. To our pleasant surprise there are two (basic) rooms bedrooms upstairs, one suitable for a couple another for one person with their own room. The downstairs is an impressive collection of queen, single and bunk beds which was suitable for the kids of all different ages which became their party room. In addition, the living room (also with high celings) has a 2 comfortable couches (one a fold out bed) which the kids also liked. All in all, a great experience--highly recommended
Recommended for:Sightseeing, tourists without a car, families with young children, girls getaway, families with teenagers, age 55+.
Outstanding Vacation in Jerusalem

The Sultan's palace is an absolutely wonderful place for a vacation. It is nicer than it looks on the website. I recently stayed here with friends for a week and had a great time. The view is outstanding! This architecturally significant house is beautiful, spacious and comfortable. Everthing inside is modern, clean and well maintained. The dining room and living rooms are outstanding. You'll find the kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms to all be satisfying and enjoyable. The location is ideal. It is in a nice neighborhood and is an easy walk to the old City (even for middle aged guys). The Sultan's palace is going to be my first choice on my next trip to Jerusalem!

Excellent location; the pictures on the site do not do the home justice. Easily sleeps 3 couples (2 nice sized BR on the first floor and a smaller loft) + however many people you feel like fitting into the cistern/basement beds. 3 Full baths + a half-bath. Dining Room and Living Room are beautiful. Easy access to all parts of Jerusalem and on street parking. Old City is about a 15 minute walk down and back up or about 25 minutes if walking on more level ground. Only problems we had were internet, which was quickly fixed, and the dryer, which died while we were there and needed replacing. The local management was very responsive. Security was not an issue. It really served as a great base for our extended family in Israel for a Bar Mitzvah. We had many wonderful meals around the dining room table, including an amazing catered Friday Night dinner by a woman recommended by the management personnel. Plentiful taxis, bus line nearby as is grocery shopping and restaurants. Highly recommended.
