I stayed at Grand Court from May 18 to May 22nd, 2023, in terms of the pluses. It's spotless. The staff are professional and helpful. It's within walking distance to the old city. Many Bein Gurion Tours also pick up from here, and as a woman travelling alone, that made me feel more secure. I had a vast room and I was not expecting such a large space, and it was affordable. Their bottled water was delicious. I would definitely go back. The gift store in the hotel lists prices in USD which is gonna be convenient for some, but I was on Canadian dollars and just confused by their pricing, if it says $20, they mean 100 shekels. I feel like that should be clearer. Maybe put dual pricing. In terms of the negative. The breakfast and dinner buffets are very meh. It's edible, and some salads are good, but I wouldn't call it delicious, and dinner is VERY expensive. You are probably better off eating elsewhere and there are not a lot of diners nearby. It's also a zoo at the front desk when tours arrive. It seemed like a hotel that mostly caters to organized tours. Also, the pool, which was beautiful, never had a lifeguard on duty. They have a clear sign that says it's forbidden to swim without a lifeguard on duty. Never in my 5 days did I see a lifeguard or anyone in the pool? I have concluded the pool is basically for Instagram and not for swimming. Thus, if swimming is critical to your travel, plan to pick a different hotel. Otherwise, I had an amazing time. I'd consider going back.
