C Hotel Neve Illan

Few minute from the hustle and bustle of Jerusalem by car. Situated on a hill among the beautiful Jerusalem hills. 24 hour manned lobby. Excellent breakfasts included. Rooms are spacious and very clean. Great water pressure in the showers. Great service. Community pool shared with the homeowners of the nearby community.

We came for a Shabbat family Bar Mitzva which was very nice there. The grounds and lobby are very nice. The room we were given on the second floor was very small compared to everyone else’s and right across from the steps. We couldn’t get our suitcases past the bed and the fixed table to the wall. Our hosts paid thru Shabbat that ended at 8:30. We stayed over Saturday night since we were catching a flight back home to the US early next morning. We were charged 719.99NIS for a small room for a 12 hour stay. We also paid VAT, that as tourists we should not have paid.Breakfast Sunday morning was the exact dinner we had Saturday night and the entire dining room floor was very sticky. Hard to walk. The only nice person was a woman at the front desk, unfortunately I don’t remember her name. She tried to help get a reduction in the cost. She spoke to the manager in Arabic, and was told no, that that was the arrangement he made with the host of the bar-mitzva which is hard to believe as true. I have emailed the manager with questions about the cost and haven’t received an answer. Definitely not worth the money.

MONEY IS STEALING IN THIS HOTEL! Be vigilant, careful and do not leave money in the rooms!
