I've stayed here twice before and this was my first choice for my visit again this year. Unfortunately, they're fully booked this year and I thought it was time for me to post a review about my previous stays. When I went to Jerusalem a couple of years ago, I looked for a place to stay in Jerusalem that was... More

Impossible to over-emphasize the pefect location....425 meter walk NW (entirely through a park) to the #1 pedestrian street area (Beh Yehuda St.) with the many shops and sidewalk cafes and street musicians, a 1 km walk east (use a good street map) to the Old City's Jaffa Gate. The setting (and museum-like exhibits and peaceful, spacious grounds) were ideal; good... More

We very much enjoyed our stay here! Jerusalem is an amazingly vibrant, busy and fairly noisy city, it really was a joy to be able to come back to such a peaceful and sheltered dwelling at the end of every day to relax and sleep well before the next days adventure! The guest house is part of a large convent... More

There is no better location for viewing the Old City of Jerusalem and its surrounding communities. It is located in a substantial gated property that is beautifully maintained. Our rooms were clean, comfortable, and basic: No phones or television. Since we use our accommodations for sleeping and are not interested in lounging around it served our purposes. The staff, laymen... More

Pros Best parking in Jerusalem, close to the Old City and very secure Wonderful value Perfect for Christian pilgrims needing a peaceful and relatively cheap place to stay The sisters are friendly and helpful Breakfast is simple, but delicious Things to consider You must be respectful of the peace, because this guesthouse is also a convent. There is a curfew... More

Excellently placed just outside to Old City (10 mins walk) - it was great to go back there from the hussle and bussle of the cily to peace and quiet. Sr Pascal and Dimitri on reception - were kindness itself during our stay of 8 days. They organised tours and booked a sherut to collect us and take us back... More

we spent two nights at the Convent and maybe we were unluky because we were assigned a very stark room. Very spacious, but far from being cosy (furniture was old, there was only a neon light). Everything was clean, from the bedsheets to the toilet. I did not like the atmosphere of that place at all. I didn't feel comfortable... More

I arrived in Jerusalem alone and stayed at the convent for 1 week. The convent is quiet very spiritual and its architecture and surrounding grounds are absolutely magnificient. Dimitry is a delighful host, warm, caring and a true gentleman whose manners belong to a bygone era. In addition, his knowledge of this spectacular ancient city is truly phenomenal and he... More

It's a peaceful oasis after a hurried day. It was nice to have tea in the garden after busy day trips and exploring Jerusalem. The sisters are wonderful and very kind. Location is excellent, very close to the old city, shopping, transportation and restaurants.

This convent/hostel was one of the 15-20 cheap options recommended by my school, if you needed to stay in Jerusalem longer than the 5 week course I was taking. I stayed for 4 nights at the Rosary Sisters Convent prior to the start of my school. No frills... if you want to stay somewhere cheap, then by all means stay... More
