In the centre of Jerusalem a perfect place to stay. Very friendly personnel. Clean, but not very comfortable, because with 8 people in a small room is not very nice. But because you only are sleeping, is it not a problem.

We stayed in a private double room with balcony. I am not sure if they all face Jaffa st, but the noise at night was very loud as it sit right on the busy intersection. Perhaps it was because it was Thursday night, but I had trouble sleeping and blocking out all the noise.. so bring ear plugs just in... More

The location is excellent, with lively Jaffa St. right outside. Lots of food options mean that the rather dingy kitchen needn't be used and frequented too much. The breakfast here is a nasty joke and you'd be betteroff heading to one of the nearby bakeries. The falafel place opposite is also good and cheap. I don't know why people insist... More

Hostel is a good location, close to the old town. The Jaffa Gate is about 15 minutes walk from the hostel. When the schabbat Square directly beneath the windows meet people and have fun until the morning, if you like to party, you can join. The hotel itself is clean and not too long ago is dilapidated. Dirty kitchen and... More

From here its only a 10 minute walk to the old city, and also a 10 minute walk in the other direction to Mechana Yehuda market.. There... More

Localisation of the Jerusalem Hostel is really awesome - pretty close to the Old town and all attractions. Very good feature of this place is also possibility to take a tram exactly from under the window to get to Herzl Mountain where Yad Vashem is sitauated. We had private double bedroom just above the main entrance and - because of... More

Had stayed once before in their 'Little Hotel', which was at-least recently-renovated and reasonably clean. This time, I opted for the original building, after being told that it was on the same standard, but with a/c-heat and TV in the rooms. They 'upgraded' me (what a bad joke) to a larger room--supposedly more-expensive than what I paid for. Only room... More

We arrived to find that there were no towels in our room. I discovered this as I was having a shower so my wife went downstairs to get some towels. When she returned she had only been given one towel. As there was two of us, we needed another towel. Later I went down to reception and asked for a... More

We stayed at this hostel for four nights and it was a really convenient hub for our activities in Jerusalem. We didn't have to use public transport at all while we there as we found everything to be within walking distance (though the less adventurous may struggle walking out to further sights such as the Mount of Olives). Our room... More

We spent our last 4 nights in the country at this centrally located hostel in the new Jewish part of Jerusalem. The building does not lack charm but it obviously lived better moments. Rooms are correct and not too noisy at night but on weekends right after Shabbat. There are lots of places to go out at night after the... More
