United KingdomGreat communication. Arranged a driver to pick me up at the airport. Location in the vibrant Getsemani neighbourhood was walking distance to Walled City and Walking and Bus Tours. Food prepared by chef was excellent. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Absolutely no complaints! I really enjoyed my stay 👍👍👍

United States of AmericaVery Clean. nice rooms. privacy curtains. friendly staff.
United States of AmericaI was lucky that I was the only person occupying the 4-beds space most of the time, so I cannot comment on what other people said about the rooms being 'cramped'. The staff is amazing, everybody is very friendly and helpful. The bathrooms/showers were pretty small but okay overall. The AC in the rooms worked very well, the WiFi was great. The whole building including the rooftop area is very clean, nice and cozy. I definitely recommend staying here. It is pricey, but you can't get this quality at this location for less.
NetherlandsAll the staff were amazing, super friendly and professional. The breakfast was super tasty and the rooftop was awesome!
Austriawe loved our stay at Life is good. the hospitality was amazing. the facilities were very nice. felt like more of a boutique hotel than a hostel. the location was perfect for walking to the Walled City and around Getsemani
