I stayed there in May 2012. The main advantage of this place is location - within walking distance to the Old City and just few steps away from the nightlife of West Jerusalem, and you’ve also got buses going to Tel Aviv just around the corner. I moved here from the hostel in the Old City an must tell you... More

This hostel provides a very central location with easy access and walking distance to central Jerusalem.

The room was spacious but not as... More

This hostel is located in a prime spot 10 minute walk from the old city , 10 minutes from Muchanai Yehuda Market, opposite King George Street, and Nachlat Sheva. Shopping tourism and food and coffee seconds away. Take a room not a dorm if quality sleep is important because of the snores and bunk bed tremors. There is a kitchen.... More
