Stayed here a few nights for business and it was very good. The reception area is very helpful with anything you may need. Large remodeled & updated rooms that are very nice. Restaurant on site with a small market just across the street. On site parking available. Our group will stay there again.

Hotel vecchio e sporco, il materasso era vecchio e le lenzuola pessime! I asciugamani avevano un odore strano! I vetri mai stato lavati. La camera era piena di polvere. Il mangiare non era buona e c’era poca scelta! Lo sconsiglio vivamente!

I stayed here in October 2017 with a group of 50 people during my visit to the Holy Land and it was good, It is in the center of the market place with a grocery store across the street and another store just 2 to 3 mins round the corner where you get dry fruits and chocolates and much more. A very nice lobby area. We had all our meals in the Hotel as it was included in the package which was pretty decent. Overall decent Hotel in Bethlehem.

I stayed here in 2009 & 2014 and it was good, but now the hotel is remodeled and very, very nice. It is in the center of the market place with a grocery store right across the street. This hotel was completing its new renovation in January. It is very open & nice with two restaurants and two bars. A very nice lobby area to relax in. The rooms are updated with luxury bedding and very spacious. There is self parking next door. The staff is courteous, very helpful and professional. Hanna at the front desk was very helpful. He was able to arrange for anything we needed while staying there, taxi, tour of the city, directions etc., whether you are just a group of on or 100 you will enjoy you stay here at The Grand Hotel (the original one). I am staying there again.

The economic squeeze on Palestine continues to tighten (a law is even being promulgated which would ban visitors to Israel from staying a night in Palestine), so it's not fair to grade the Grand as though it were in Jerusalem or Tiberias; so I'll keep my criticisms to those things which could be rectified by management rather than cash. Firstly, the service is first-class: very friendly indeed, and caring of its customers. Main public facilities are excellent -- especially the large lobby area, the bar, the conference room, and third-floor restaurant. As everywhere in this region there is so much fresh fruit and veg that breakfast is a delight (although the hot offering -- sour beans and sausages -- won't be to everyone's liking). Oddly, the sixty-plus guests in the dining room served themselves coffee from a single jug on a warming plate -- it didn't last three minutes. Secondly, the location is ideal, right in the middle of the bustling narrow streets, and easy walking distance to the main tourist sights. The locals are immensely friendly. Thirdly, if you're a smoker (as I am) you'll be pleased to be able to get a smoking room and even to smoke in the lounge -- that won't sound like good news to non-smokers, but somehow the residual smell of tobacco doesn't linger (and most visitors go outside to smoke anyway). Given the pleasantness described above, my room was disappointing. On the plus-side It was a good size, with a very comfortable double bed; and there were electricity sockets aplenty. However, I had to physically move the TV to create a work-space; no bath plug, so no bath; an entrance door that wouldn't stay shut unless locked; coffee not replenished; the hot water took an unusually long time to come through. These are management lapses, not the consequence of diminished cashflow. However, all-in-all the establishment and its location were so charming that I'll be staying there again.…

Room Tip: The muezzin begins his daily round at 0415 -- make sure you've got double-glazing before you...

Wir waren im Rahmen einer Rundreise für 3 Nächte in diesem Hotel inclusive. Halbpension! Die Zimmer waren auf den ersten Blick ganz ansprechend, bei näherem Hinschauen allerdings eine einzige Kathastophe. FLeckiger Teppichboden,verschmierte Fenster, vom Zustand des Bades will ich gar nicht sprechen, sogar die Handtücher waren grau und muffig. Das Hotel liegt direkt an de Hauptstraße, der Verkehr fließt 24 Stunden, selbst bei geschlossenen Fenstern eine Zumutung. Der Blick aus dem Fenster direkt auf Müll. Das Frühstück und Abendessen eine einzige Katastrophe. Teller verschmiert, Essensqualität mangelhaft. Die Mitgäste kamen hauptsächlich aus Asien, Tischmanieren wie Schweine, dementsprechend sah der Speisesaal und das Büfett aus. NIcht einmal die Aufzüge funktionierten vernünftig, wir mußten daher das ebenfalls verdreckte Treppenhaus benutzen. WIr können dieses Haus wirklich nicht empfehlen.…

As founder of Hike the Holy Land I had a group of 24 active travelers doing a 9 day Israel -Palestine tour and we stayed a night at this property. We loved it! It's very well appointed, the staff were fun and fantastic (we even did a Palestinian cooking class there !) , and it's walking distance to Manger Square / Church of the Nativity. We felt very safe at this hotel and in Bethlehem, Palestine. No trip to the Holy Land is complete with a stop at Bethlehem, but don't rush it and just make it a day trip, stay at the Grand Hotel Bethlehem, relax and immerse into the area... and you won't be sorry.

This is one of the worst experiences of my life. Don't stay here under any circumstances. The rooms are filthy, it stinks of raw sewage coming from the bathroom into the bedroom, the mattress feel like its 20 years old, the carpets and walls are badly stained, the staff are cocky and unhelpful and the area is seedy. The noise coming in from the street is unbearable. Avoid avoid avoid!

Пробыли в этом отеле 5 ночей. Плюсы : 15 минут от Храма Рождества но идти нелегко, восточный базар у подножия отеля и великолепное доброжелательное обслуживание персонала. Минусы: центральный кондиционер дующий кипящим воздухом в лицо и включаемый с 7 вечера до 7 утра. В остальное время в номере холод (хорошо что не в августе приехали: ужарились бы). Вода в кране горячаяя по тому же странному графику. Завтрак и ужин не вкусные, холодные, утром только растворимый кофе без молока, холодные яйца, бумажная колбаса, грязные листья салата и несьедобные помидоры с умирающими огурцами. Номера простые и старенькие, но чистые и полотенца меняют. Отель не располагает к крепкому сну и отдыху после интенсивных экскурсионных дней. Тв махонький, есть русский новостной канал 24+. Вечером в лобби собираются местные курят и громко общаются. Но персонал чудесный: вежливые и готовые помочь приятные люди.…
