8/10 Very good
Oct 30, 2022
This was a great find for me as a lone traveller wanting a couple of nights in Jerusalem. The room was petite but that was fine. A kettle provided which I always find handy (though I didn't find such a handy socket for its short flex). comfortable bed. Ensuite.
The shop runs the check in and that's handy since it's an all night shop (including Shabbat). The hotel itself is right next to the Jaffa Road and in a night life spot which was great. It's literally 5 or 10 minutes walk to the Jaffa gate and you can get the tram (light rail) to the central station (make sure you have moveit or a rav kav card!). I could go exploring and then have a break back in my room before round 2 or before dinner since the room was basically in exactly the right place!
Friday night is super quiet in Jerusalem old city and downtown. But not outside my hotel unfortunately. Car horns even until 4 am. Not the hotels fault but the second night with normal bar noise was much better!
Honestly, if you're looking for a pretty cheap but private option for exploring the old city and downtown, and can cope with some night noise (if you choose not to join in - you should join in, it's a good life!) then this is pretty good!
