Mid-to-upscale hotel on King David Street between the YMCA and Mamilla.
The Eldan Hotel is a mid-to-upscale property at 24 King David Street in Jerusalem, Israel, positioned between the YMCA tower and the Mamilla district. The street is one of the most convenient in the city for visitors, because the Mamilla shopping promenade leads directly down to Jaffa Gate and the Old City on foot in about ten to fifteen minutes, and the light rail and many bus routes run close by. The King David Hotel is a short distance along the same street, and the Rehavia district and the Israel Museum are reachable by taxi or bus. The building is a practical modern hotel rather than a heritage landmark, with a straightforward, comfortable style aimed at tourists and business visitors who want a good location without the highest prices. Rooms are offered as Standard, Superior and Family categories, and the family rooms are a useful option for parents travelling with children. Amenities include a restaurant, a fitness centre, free wifi and a buffet breakfast that is a main selling point, usually with salads, cheeses, eggs, fish, pastries and fresh bread in the Israeli style. The kitchen follows kosher rules, which shapes the menu at all meals. The service character is friendly and efficient, with a front desk that can arrange tours, airport transfers and restaurant bookings. The hotel does not advertise a pool or spa, so guests looking for those facilities usually choose a larger property nearby. Rates of roughly 700 to 1,500 ILS per night place it below the luxury hotels on the same street while keeping the same central address. It is a sensible choice for first-time visitors who plan to spend most of their time in the Old City, Mamilla and the downtown area, and for families who need a larger room without paying luxury prices.
