Central Boutique Hotel

Fantastic stay, excellent location,in the center of everything & still managed to be low key!!!!

The owner of the Hotel - Gabriel made the visit spectacular- helping us with tours, phones, dining and general questions - always available. The hotel is located close to Jaffa gate - and in a very nice square with incredible dining and things to see. The hotel is basic - but clean, up to date, well Looked after and an excellent deal for the location. Highly recommend!!!!

This was a great find for me as a lone traveller wanting a couple of nights in Jerusalem. The room was petite but that was fine. A kettle provided which I always find handy (though I didn't find such a handy socket for its short flex). comfortable bed. Ensuite. The shop runs the check in and that's handy since it's an all night shop (including Shabbat). The hotel itself is right next to the Jaffa Road and in a night life spot which was great. It's literally 5 or 10 minutes walk to the Jaffa gate and you can get the tram (light rail) to the central station (make sure you have moveit or a rav kav card!). I could go exploring and then have a break back in my room before round 2 or before dinner since the room was basically in exactly the right place! Friday night is super quiet in Jerusalem old city and downtown. But not outside my hotel unfortunately. Car horns even until 4 am. Not the hotels fault but the second night with normal bar noise was much better! Honestly, if you're looking for a pretty cheap but private option for exploring the old city and downtown, and can cope with some night noise (if you choose not to join in - you should join in, it's a good life!) then this is pretty good!

Absolutely great place to stay if you are using this as a place to sleep and not as a resort. The room we had was quiet small on the street level. Just the basics: clean room, double bed, cable TV, nice shower and small refrigerator. The hotel seems to be part of a 24/7 convenience store in the front since you check in there. This is nice if you want a snack or you happen to be there on the Sabbath when a lot of places are closed. The location is fabulous, about 50 steps off of Jaffa street, the main street that is closed to cars. Only the L1 line street cars (trains) are allowed. You are literally a 10 minute walk to the old city. The train stop (Central) is 5 blocks away if you want to walk a little less. Landing in Tel Aviv, we took the high speed train to the main station in Jerusalem, walked outside, purchased a ticket in the machine and boarded the L1 train. Four stops later, we were at the Central stop, exited, walked down the little hill about 5 blocks and looked down a street to the left and saw the Super Market sign. We went into the market, checked in, walked a few steps around the corner to the entrance and that was it. We were there three nights. Since we were leaving on Saturday (Sabbath), the manager told us to stop in on Friday at the market and he would schedule a local shuttle bus ($17) to the airport since public transportation is shut down. Anyway, a good place to stay in a GREAT location. And a lot of restaurants on this street were open on the Sabbath!
