Je recommande malgré quelques points négatifs
Belle établissement mais pas de restauration possible le midi et le soir. Seul un bar d ouvert jusque tard le soir. Toutes les activités sont fermés sauf la piscine dont le mobilier est vétuste. Personnel très agréable et bâtiment très beau avec une histoire.

Poorly maintained
Historic building with great facilities but not well maintained or cleaned. I was disappointed with the stay and it did not represent value for money. Would not recommend.

Holiday in Bethlehem
Fabulous stay in a shabby, sheek hotel with an amazing pool! Stayed for a week. Visited the Dead Sea, Old Jerusalem, Manger Square, Holocaust Museum, the Walled Off Hotel (Banksy Hotel), the Wall to see the art. Lots of lazy time by the pool.

Understandably a bit faded at the edges. Good location and now more geared to groups and local weddings.

The hotel and staff were very nice. The hotel needs a bit of repair, but overall is was good. It had a very nice gym; which we do not find in many hotels in Middle East or Europe.

Long stay fo business
The buildings are amazing and it is fine for a one or two night stay. However if you are staying for two or three weeks it is not so great. The breakfast is almost the same every day with no fresh fruit other than the occasional water melon. I got very tired of tinned pineapple!
Also the dinner options were limited. The tent restaurant was advertised as 'Grillin and Chillin' but the grilled foods only included deep fried French fries with no alternative.
The area also was not ideal due to the proximity to the Wall where there were some protests particularly on Fridays.

Not Recommended
I recently booked a seven-night stay through Hotels.com at the Jacir Palace Hotel in Bethlehem in March of 2017. I ended up canceling the last night due to the fact that my traveling companion had to rearrange her round trip air itinerary because El Al Israel Airlines refused to let her board the flight. We notified the hotel desk in advance and they agreed to refund the credit card for one night's stay in the amount of $120. After multiple emails over the period of the last 10 weeks, most of which have gone unanswered, the hotel has still not refunded the $120. When Hotels.com called Jacir Palace, to inquire about the status of the impending refund, they were advised that there is no record of a refund request on file.
Although I have no complaints about the condition of the hotel or the staff I can’t recommend the Jacir Palace Hotel because they are not responsive at all to email communications and have not followed thru re the cancellation/refund that they agreed to.
I was advised by Hotels.com that there was nothing that they could do to assist me. They suggested that I dispute the charge with the credit card company. It's disappointing that Hotels.com does not hold their partner hotels accountable.

Booked 14 nights, left after first night, VERY BAD
Bullet point Summary
1. We emailed before our trip to see if hotel supplied power adapters, they said they do, they lied, and our phones were dead that night after long day flying.
2. Would not take Pound Sterling despite saying they do.
3. Told us they can exchange sterling to shekel but when I got to counter they said they cant. Then changed to say they can but will have to give us a poor rate and we are better going elsewhere? WHY? We are your guest so be fair.
4. Room was very dirty, floor not hoovered and mini fridge had blown up and was nothing but a shell. Duvets and pillow cases had holes in them.
5. Breakfast included, if you like mash potato and insect coated stale bread
6. Website states pool is open in Spring and it wasn't. Although we went in late April during 30'c heat.
7. They did nothing when we complained about adaptor and room cleanliness.
8. When we decided to leave the next day, I refused to pay the massive $120 a night fee based on the fact they had not supplied what they should have and I demanded a discount. The response was to call security.
Jacir Palace almost ruined our holiday. As it is they badly let us down as I was really looking forward to days lounging by the pool and swimming with my 2 yr old daughter. We were lucky enough to find another hotel with room for us as it was easter weekend which is a busy time.
I strongly advise anyone to AVOID this place.
