    We were staying here as a transition night from Petra, Jordan visit and return to Jerusalem. Location was very near central bus station and easy walk. Due to early departure we were not able to take advantage of common kitchen facilities on site...

    The hostel was very clean and the staff was great. The room was also very clean and the AC worked great (crucial after a long day in the sun!) For a short weekend getaway, it was exactly what we needed :)

    There’s nothing to complain about in this hostel. The bathrooms are kept super clean at all time. The rooms are spacious, have lockers and each bed a socket to charge your electronics. The Wifi works very well. There’s a kitchen with all that is...

    The staff upon arrival were very kind and accommodating. The room, despiser being 6 beds, was comfortable. The patio and deck were lovely. The location was a nice short stroll to the beach which I loved.
