    While not unusual in Israel, some of the staff weren't exactly friendly. Not rude either, just not very welcoming. Some were very helpful and kind.

    The complimentary, Mediterranean-style breakfast was GREAT. A lot of variety and healthy options, like hummus, pickled veggies, wheat rolls, eggs, olives, salsa, potatoes, coffee, milk, and cereal. It definitely helped to start us off on a positive note each day. The views from our room to the Old City of Jerusalem were stellar. The Jerusalem lightrail train passes nearby, and there is a prominent stop within relatively easy walking distance. Also, a number of buses pass by on a main thoroughfare. (We were told this main street used to be the partition line between East and West Jerusalem. The hotel is on the east side in a mixed Christian and Muslim neighborhood. The opposite side of the street is mostly Jewish neighborhoods.) The room was plain, but clean and met our requirements for having a decent-enough place to stay during our week-long trip. An interesting fact about the property is that it hosts a beautiful chapel. It's super-close to the Garden Tomb site, and it's about a 5-10 minute walk, depending on how fast you're going, to reach the Damascus Gate of the Old City of Jerusalem. As a side note, a rocket attack from Gaza started during our stay. Rocket alarms sounded in our neighborhood. The stairwell of the hotel offered a solid place to shelter, but there isn't a dedicated bomb shelter.

    I booked last minute so maybe my room was facing the street. It was a little noisy with horns. But it did not impact my sleep. Was just something I noticed. I would stay here again.

    I liked the location, right by the garden tomb and near the Damascus gate. The breakfast was really amazing and the people working there were very kind. The room was very clean.

    The breakfast was a bit too early. From 7 to 9am only so I didn't get to go to any. Would be nice to extend it to 9:30 or 10am, however according to my brother it was a very nice and tasty food and nothing was missing.

    The staff was extremely nice and helpful. The room was very clean and spacious enough for 2 as we had one with 3 single beds. The cleaning lady was very nice and did a great job each time she checked our room. The location was very close to Nablus terminal bus station and 10mn walk to Jerusalem old city and Damascus gate bus station where you could catch the bus to Tel aviv (35 shekels), Bethlehem (24 shekels) or Hebron (25 shekels). The guesthouse IS the church of Saint Thomas , they are 2 parts the left side is the guesthouse and the right side is the church. Overall we like the place and even extended our stay per 1 night.

    There was some miscommunication about cleaning the room, because the local cleaning staff did barely speak English.

    The location near the Damascus Gate and the Garden Tomb is phenomenal. The views from the roof is exceptional.

    The building is nice on the outside, but the interior doesn't reflect this aspect. There was a visible and removable stain on the nightìstand, also the bathroom door and glasses were quite dirty. Unfortunately all of this is enchanced by the overall oldness of the building.

    Staff was helpful when needed, also they changed the towels and made up the room every day. Bed was a bit soft but never had too much trouble sleeping.

    I was a bit disappointed by the the desk which was very small and it did not have a proper chair. The housekeeping staff didn't speak English, which caused some miscommunication about cleaning the room.

    The location, so near the Damascus Gate, is great. In just 5 minutes, one will be in the Old City. I loved the magnificent views from the rooftop in all directions.

    Above the door to the room is a small window so at night, if someone has a light on in the corridor, it shines into the room. The staff were helpful and stuck a piece of cardboard to the window to leases the brightness.

    Excellent location just a few minutes walk from Damascus Gate. The room is basic but clean.
