I stayed at the Grand Court Hotel in January of this year. The move in was remarkably fast. True, I had to change the room several times due to the fact that the windows in the first two rooms were not airtight enough (in summer this would be a plus, but in winter in Jerusalem this is fraught with problems with howling wind and blowing). As a result, they gave a luxurious 2-room suite instead of the standard one!
However, the anomalous weather for Jerusalem made itself felt. At night, the wind, whistling with strong gusts, beat against the glass, the windows trembled as if in a fever. In addition, continuous, intense rain fell in Jerusalem for several days in a row. Because of this, water seeped through the glass in the room and flooded the carpet under the windows. In the morning, hotel employees walked around the floors, asking which one of the windows was flooded and how much. But this did not overshadow the rest at all, because I was in JERUSALEM !!!
In general, the atmosphere in the hotel is very homely, laid-back and warm. The food at the Grand Court is delicious. The dishes are beautifully presented and create a sense of celebration. One day, a group of tourists from China were having a merry and too noisy dinner in a restaurant. But not for long - a photo session of the bride began on the ornate staircase, at which they stared, held their breath and - quieted down...

The distance to the walls of the Old Town is not at all large - about 15-20 minutes on foot (and even then, this is along with stops for photos). It was interesting to go to the Old City through the orthodox area located in the neighborhood - through Mea Shearim. This is not a place for tourists to walk, because. deeply religious Jews live there. But I have never seen Jerusalem like this before. . .
You can use the free shuttle service from Grand Court to the Old City according to the schedule, which can be consulted at the reception. It is convenient to return to the hotel by tram - 10 minutes... And if someone arrives in a rented car, then a PLEASANT surprise awaits him - parking at the hotel is free!
My conclusion after visiting the Grand Court is a very worthy hotel to stay in Jerusalem!
