It’s a hostel. The area is awesome even though you will need earplugs if you are a light sleeper.

Always someone at the front desk ready to be helpful and answer tourist type questions. Basic breakfast of eggs, toast, tomatoes hummus, and coffee; served on the pleasant rooftop; chance to meet other travelers. Perfect location for visiting the Old City, seeing the modern museums and visiting other areas of Israel using public transportation. Conveniently on the tram line and on a busy shopping street, however that means it is a bit noisy.

The hotel is quite old, many areas would need an update. The Aircon is centralised so there is no way to turn it off but the staff can try to regulate the temperature. The staff was very nice and helpful! Also the location is great!

Convenient to the Light Rail Line. In the heart of West Jerusalem. Convenient to shops. If the hostel wants you to stay in the annex nearby JUST REFUSE. It is filthy, broken down furniture, poor door locks. YUCK. But the main building is good. Kitchen facilities lacking and uncared for my the staff. Breakfast is a joke dry bread and jam.

Everything good, just a few details. Bunk bed was to noisy, mattress was with the spirals like about to get out, shower soaked wet the whole bathroom, some energy plugs not working, no control for a/c or heater so room was too warm, lights in the hallway were all the time on and it was a very big gap between the room door and the floor, light was coming in to the room!

this hostel is absolutely beautiful. a little on the older side but it was exactly where i wanted to stay to get that jerusalem vibe. the balcony made it all worth it. only negative was it was not that clean. the sheets had stains and the bathroom had a gross smell. but for one night it was a good place to stay

The hostel location was good. All the staff were kind. but It was hard that there was no elevator, the staff helped us and I couldn't eat breakfast for three days because I was a traveler who started the morning early. I wish breakfast time was fast and I was confused on the first day because I was in a different location from my address. Anyway, thank you My best regards to Nina ~

Centrally located hostel. Very nice basic hostel with nice staff. I stayed in a single room - very good option if you want some privacy but still contact with other travellers in the common areas/kitchen. The rooms facing Jaffa street can be a little bit noisy - I think the hostel provided ear plugs.

I stayed here for a week, and overall, it's convenient and close to the Old City, restaurants, cafes and Machane Yehuda Market. Breakfast is decent - boiled eggs, veggies, hummus, yogurt, toast, dulce de leche, jelly, coffee and tea. Not your standard American breakfast but I was okay with toast because I brought peanut butter with me. Unfortunately, you do need to wash your own dishes. You have to ask daily to get your room clean. Also, you need to leave the A/C on when you're out because the room can get smelly from the bathroom sewer. If you have a room facing Jaffa St, expect some noises at night. Overall, I rate this hostel a 6.5/10. It was an affordable and convenient place to stay. That was my main two reasons why I chose this place.

People working there were helpful and friendly. The heat to the rooms was available 2 1/2 nights out of 5 and the room was very cold when the central heating is not on. Was given a extra blanket. Won’t stay again I don’t like to be cold with lukewarm showers during scheduled hot water time.

Workers were nice Facilities weren’t as clean as I would have liked. The heat is a central furnace and though it was cold it came on in my room 2 1/2 days out of 5. My window didn’t close properly. Will not stay here again.

Location is excellent. You are next to the light rail as well as the Old City and the market (Shuk) at Mahane Yehuda. That has its minuses, as it can get noisy, especially on Saturday night (after sabbath). Breakfast is quite substantial and you have access to a well equipped communal kitchen. Has a real backpackers feel to it, which is great if you want to run into interesting people from other countries. The facilities can do with some renovation. E.g. the water flow was pretty weak in my room and hot water in the shower was far from optimal, which can be a bit annoying in winter. Staff are friendly.

Excellent location and accessibility. It was not so bad but the property is certainly run down and service areas were in poor state. For decency and hygiene, would be advisable to improve the toilets and kitchen. It would also be better to upgrade the rooms, remove the carpets and repair broken locks.

Our room had no key, so the door was open all the time and many strangers used our bathroom and we found people in our room. Price in dollars is totally different than in shekels. The difference is 23.10 dollars, so I am overcharged :(

Great hostel with friendly people. They do a Shabbat meal on friday evening- very cheap for a lot of food, plus a great opportunity to experience traditional shabbat meal with an introduction to many of the customs. The toilet flush of our room was weak but otherwise nice little welcoming hostel!

The hostel is ok for backpackers but for those of us who booked private rooms (which are pretty costly!) as a couple this is not the ideal. Though most reception guys were helpful, one girl called Jessica kept judging us and our situation and kept leaping to conclusions, including calling us stupid! Other than that, the room was very small and cramped, the WiFi did not work, the breakfast was very very basic (read bread and butter). The only good thing was the great location on Zion square.
