This place is awesome! The decor and ambiance are one of a kind and perfect for Old Jerusalem. The location is outstanding; right on one of the few open areas in Old Jerusalem, views of the Tower of David and Jaffa Gate, easy walking to all of the sites. Even the breakfast is huge and excellent. The food in the immediate area is overpriced low quality tourist fare, but it is very quick and easy to walk through the Jaffa Gate and up Jaffa Street into the newer part of the city, where there are plenty of fine places to eat.

“Fabulous location in the Old Town”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 4 nights
A bit of enthusiasm from the staff would have really helped. Maybe some assistance with bags.
Incredible location just inside the jaffa gate - up what looks like a narrow alleyway to the left after the tourist info desk so you need to keep an eye out for it. Lots of stairs. Like many places in Israel, the staff aren't overly friendly or bubbly. Breakfast was excellent. Our room was a great size, lovely bathroom. It was noisy at night at times with people yelling outside. Close to the market for supplies and Jaffa gate is the meet up point for many of the walking tours which made it easy as well.

Unfortunately, the place is quite neglected. Equipment in the rooms is very old, corridors are dirty and breakfast was quite disappointing. The place has a great potential but it needs someone, who will take care of it.
The hotel is located in the heart of Jerusalem and I have to admit that it has a great potential because of its unique traditional design that you cannot find everywhere.

The location of this hotel is excellent, immediately inside the Jaffa Gate, in the old city of Jerusalem. Walking distance to all the holly sites. The interior of the hotel like stepping back into the history, full of ancient artefacts just like a museum. The view if the old city from the rooftop is amazing. The buffet breakfast is also excellent. Staff were helpful. Highly recommend as a base to explore Jerusalem

Be aware that the entrance is hidden. Look for a small sign in an alley on the side of the building. The entrance is not near the sign; instead go through the big arch in the center of the side of the building facing the square and look for a glass door on the left.

Hot water was temperamental. 1 mm on mixer between scolding hot and cold in shower. I had lots of hot water but wife didn’t have a shower as it was cold. Mine also went cold during the shower. We stayed with friends who had a room at the other side on a different floor of the hotel and they experienced the same.
Amazing location. Food good. Warm Room. Amazing historic building. Clean. Perfect for a few days seeing the sites.

No bellboy to help with the suitcases (there are a lot of stairs) No Shampoo
Hotel located in the old city , close to everything. There is no parking and due to security you can't accesses. the hotel with a car unless you call a head of time and only to drop the suitcases. Parking nearby can be expensive. there is no elevator at the hotel and even to reach to the reception you need to climb stairs !! No bellboy to help you with suitcases. Some of the room are small but have everything you needed to stay.
