I liked the archaic nature of this hotel and, at the same time, the "Spartan" self-sufficiency of its equipment and comfort, the coziness and homely atmosphere, and the pleasant owner 🤗

Muito bem localizado. O ambiente é muito limpo. Todos os ambientes, camas com lençois limpos e colchões confortáveis. Nos hospedamos por 2 vezes durante essa viagem. Ficaria novamente e recomendo.

Ich war sehr zufrieden und habe mich rundherum wohlgefühlt. Von der Lage her, gibt es keine bessere. Leute es ist die David Straße in der old City von Jerusalem. Ein Traum in Gerüchen, Farben und Geräuchen welche auf einen einstürmt, wenn man die Haustür öffnet. Genauso verschwindet Lärm und negativer Geruch aber auch wenn man im Haus ist. Ok den Muezzin hört man, aber das ist nicht schlimm. Im Gegenteil es gehört dazu und ist sogar gut. Sami die gute Seele im Haus ist eine Perle. Ich ...

I was pleasantly surprised by the hostel. I simply wanted to stay overnight in Jerusalem, without a big hotel expense. The idea was not to hang out at the hotel, when there is so much to do in Jerusalem. Just sleep + shower there in something decent. My little room with the hostel fit this bill nicely. It was as plain as it gets - two single beds with a little aisle between, plus a fridge/table - but it was clean, and the mattresses were OK. Bathrooms and showers also were more than fine.

Excellent location in the center of Old Jerusalem. Very nice and helpful management. Not the most modern facilities, but it's in OLD Jerusalem, so expecting modernity is unreasonable. Clean, organized, authentic, and pleasant. Definitely recommend for budget-conscious, no-frills-necessary travellers. Would stay there again without a doubt.

Excellent location... approx 450 ms from Church of Holy Sepulchre...couldnt be better!!! Room windowless and small but clean and comfortable. Instructions in hostel clear and easy to follow. Nice welcoming touch with the free coffee, hot chocolate, tea and dates...etc The shared bathroom was close by and kept scrupulously clean. Lovely and quiet at night despite being so central. It's challenging with a big case due to but I wasn't the typical.hosteller,who tend to travel w lighter back...

If you plan to visit Jerusalem and want to stay right where it´s at, in the Old City, you should go to this cosy and inexpensive hostel. Its owner Sami is the most helpful and friendly host you´ll ever meet. I stayed there for six days and met Christians, Jews and Muslims at walking distance, living close together and peacefully.
