I booked into the hostel with a mate. Unfortunately they had no twin rooms so we ended up sharing a bed. As we were checking in we heard a couple complaining about bed bugs and sure enough the next morning we discovered some bites of our own. The views are great and there is something unique about hearing the mosque... More

Located in the heart of the Old City. When entering first, feels like having arrived in a cave, dark lobby and rooms, but then up on the roof having a wonderful view over the old city. Rooms are a bit overpriced, but hostel offers kitchen facilities, so what you spend more on the room is saved on dinner, which is... More

Our family went into this stay knowing full well that the Citadel was a youth hostel and thus had pretty low expectations. But if it wasn't for the amazing awe inspiring view from the roof top inside the gates of Jerusalem, where we slept on dirty 3in thick foam mattresses and sleeping bags, we would have been very disappointed. The... More

This place is a rabbit warren of corridors and steps, alcoves and rooms. Everywhere that can be rented out, is, so don;t be surprised to see people sleeping in each alcove and hall. Overall its clean enough, and the staff are really really helpful. Free wifi, and a great price for Jerusalem. I would definitely stay again.

We opted for the bungalow which is in fact a plastic shed on the roof. It is alot cheaper than a room and a little more expensive than sleeping on the roof. The room was big enough for both of us to sleep comfortably. It was quiet and the shed gave us the protection from the wind! The shed did... More

The hostel is unbeatably located in the very heart of the Old City of Jerusalem, and the staff is really friendly and helpful. But I guess that's it when it comes to the positives. Besides, it's got a specific feel to it which I personally disliked. It is meant to look like the ancient city all around, but that involves... More

Now, keep in mind that this is a youth HOSTEL. It is not a hotel, it is not a resort, it is a hostel. And a very fine one, if I may say so. The staff, particularly Adam, was incredibly helpful and the owner, Chris, is a wonderful resource. We stayed with a larger group that was a bit more... More

The building is amazing, the location is great, the decor of the loung area is lovely, and the free wireless is not to be taken for granted in Israel. Having said that, 36 euro for a single room that was literally a capsule (there wasn't enough space to put my backpack on the floor!) is a bit much even for... More

Nice communal areas with cool stone vaults. Staff are friendly, and there are communal kitchens for free use. Toilets are a bit butters. Rooms are pretty basic but fine - overall a good stay
