Location is unparalleled in old Jerusalem within the city walls just inside the Jaffa gate. Everything in the old city is just minutes away by foot. The breakfast was better than excellent.

Greg

United States of America

The location is excellent-at cross section to Jaffa Gate (old city/souk) and the new city. There is a wonderful ambiance in the hotel-old building (from the 1800's I believe), Middle Eastern, wonderfully decorated. Although it is paid parking it is a less than 5 minute walk and was worth it if you're traveling by car to Jerusalem. The rooms are simple but clean and the beds were very comfortable. I'm not sure if there is an elevator but if not then it could be a problem for someone who has to climb stairs. The reception is up a flight of stairs as well as some of the rooms. Worth asking before making a reservation if this is a concern.

The location was wonderful. Very unique. They also have a rooftop with a nice view and a sound and light show at night just across. The staff was friendly and helpful. There is a restaurant that sits just outside the front door. A place to get water just a few doors over and several good restaurants around the corner.

“The perfect place to explore/discover the old city. This hotel IS part of the old city.”
- • Leisure trip

This is an old Hotel, so this is not the place to stay if you want a boring soul-less modern hotel of which there are many nearby. Most of the rooms have no view but the view from the roof terrace more than makes up for that.
Just inside the Jaffa gate, this location means you are right in the heart of the old city.And its quirky interior make the hotel like a museum. A treasure in it's own right. Breakfast is superb and the bathrooms are perfectly adequate and work well.

Old, cheap, haphazardly decorated, fluorescent light in the room, bedsheets smelling like old dog, clean though but just not worth the price paid. The best rooms seems to be ok in photos, but the “cheaper” ones are pretty depressing, and I have the feeling I paid the price for a medium range ($216) and got the cheapest (they start at $110 or something), so make sure when you book your room that it matches the price you pay.
The location is really great. The staff at the desk is very nice and friendly.

No lift! We had to drag our luggages up the stairs and if they place you at the second floor, it is so difficult to bring large suitcases. The staff helped though but it’s a hassle. Quad rooms have inconvenient bathrooms, it’s upstairs and if you need to go you will have to go up flights of stairs. The stairs were also scary. If they can change this it would be perfect.
Location, breakfast, staff were so nice and helpful. We requested to move rooms because I had a minor accident and it was hard for me to get to the bathroom because it was upstairs. Rania was able to help us and move us right away to a better room. Excellent breakfast!
