Comfortable place with nice staff and good location.
United States of AmericaMy fav. thing about the Cinema Hostel is the staff, so friendly and helpful! Love the capsules. Also, love the air conditioning and the clean fresh white linens & fluffy duvet. Also do a very good breakfast! And, they provide a washing machine, soap powder and drying racks for a small fee, very convenient. Good shared kitchen & common chill spaces. And last but not least location, location, location! Great location!
United States of AmericaThis is THE BEST place to stay in Jerusalem. LITERALLY THE BEST. You will have everything: clean rooms, towels, breakfast and dinner, amazing people and great location. Don’t go anywhere else :)
UkraineThe location is unbeatable and the theme of the hostel is very cool. Lots of events going on.
CanadaVery nice environment and vibe. Georgeous breakfest.
SlovakiaThe double bed capsule room was not really a capsule but a small packed room where you could stand inside so was much more comfortable than expected. The breakfast is good including pancakes shakshuka toasts and cereal. There was coffee although the machine was making very short coffees. There's reception but you can also enter anytime with a code.
SpainAmazing location near the Ben yehudah pedestrian shopping/cafe/bar area! The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, and the hostel in general has a very friendly community vibe— which means you’ll hear the sounds of others around you, but the provided ear plugs at the front desk are amazing (heavy duty construction style, much better than the kind we brought)— so we didn’t have any issues sleeping.
United States of AmericaPeople was very nice, the rooms have natural light and the beds are very comfy. The places to share are great!
SpainOne of the best hostels I ever stayed in. It was rebuilt from the old cinema house and has a great atmosphere and a character. The design, common spaces, rooftop, everything is perfect. Everything is always clean. I will definitely recommend it.
RussiaSuperb breakfast especially the shakshouka. The ambiance felt like home.
