    Noise from outside well past midnight, cats on terrace where breakfast is served, same breakfast, very old building and everything very badly needs upgrading. No elevators. Have to climb stairs to walk and take your luggage. Rooms very small. Old cots and beds. No TV or phones.

    Location.

    Nothing. I actually thought we would only sleep here and that's all, but it turned out that here it is much better than I expected.

    It was really awesome to stay here. I was here together with parents for 3 nights. The staff, Muhammad (I hope I wrote his name correctly) gave me information how to get to Tel Aviv without using taxi and where to take very in detail during jewish new year's period. Some people mentioned the facility is a bit old , but our room was perfect. I like the mattress, it was cozy and bed sheets were clean. And breakfast was another plus. We could drink capsule coffee! Kitchen was nice. I made simple sandwiches before our trip in the kitchen and there were 3 dinner tables. People cooked and ate there. You can get hot and cold water here. Terrace was nice 👍 Very near to the tram stop. Also reception worked till late so we managed to check in around 11 30 pm. Normally I don't leave reviews but I would like to, since now I'm on the shared taxi to go to Tel aviv I wish your business goes well and if I have any chance to visit Jerusalem I will definitely book here again Thank you 🙏

    Far too noisy. There is no sound isolation, so if your room is in the street side impossible to rest.

    Location near to attraction and facilities.

    The very small bathroom and the smell from the toilet, but it was okay and doable.

    Lovely boutique hotel/ hostel. We had our private room with balcony at the street side. So we could sit in the sun and have our view on the square. Good breakfast, lovely staff (gave us good advice).

    I came to Jerusalem to meet my family and friends during Biblical holidays. After The holidays ended we've seen a big homosexual flag on the rooftop of the hostel. Great disappointment for people who came to Israel to worship the living God.

    It was exactly what I needed in Jerusalem.

    The stairs were a challenge but I had been informed that I would need to climb flights of stairs. It would have been good to have some milk in the fridge for use in the evening. There were not enough mugs in the kitchen!

    It was very central on Jaffa Street with the Light-Rail convenient to travel towards the Old City and to the other stops even went as far as Mount Hertzl . Room was Okay and most of the others were friendly. Breakfast was good on the roof area.

    Laid-back hostel at a great location

    The boiled eggs and hot water could have been warm that last day. The other days were fine.

    It is in a great location on Jaffa road and you can use the light rail for most sight seeing. All the complaints I read have some truth in them but all-in-all if you are looking for a no-frills, low-key, budget place, it is great. It is a bit run down but the rooms are clean, it is a bit noisy but it is fun to hear the musicians play in the square, the bathroom is tiny, but adequate, and the breakfast is a bit sparse and sometimes cold, but also adequate. We were there twice and would go again.

    Nothing ...just keep it up 😉

    Very responsive and courteous staff. Location was just near the tram hence commuting from the airport was quick and economical. The room was very clean, I had opted for 2 double beds and a bunk bed. Very clean set up and the sheets and blankets all have white coverings and that is very impressive and hygienic and that impressed us the most. Best of all the shared kitchen is accessible 24/7 as we can cook as we go.

    All perfect.

    We had a great stay at Jerusalem hostel, we had a room for 4 with 1 double bed and one bunk bed and a beautiful balcony. Breakfast is served at the roof top and was delicious with pita bread, hummus, eggs, cucumber, tomatoes, jam, cereals. Location is close to the Old Town. Would definitely recommend staying there!

    Locations was great. Light rail was right there. Location was not "touristy"!

    Overall the room was a bit small and the shower cramped. I'm just saying a little updating would be invaluable. I was not told the parking was pay only.....I was told in an email there was parking but they neglected to say it was a block away and was a pay lot. This would not have prevented me from staying but the info would have been more helpful for expectations.

    For the most part, the staff were very helpful. Most couples in their 70's like us are picky but realizing the location in the newer part of Jerusalem makes the stay a lot more unique for its culture.

    It was our second stay at the hostel. Considering it was cheap compared to other places in town, it was as expected. Staff was nice and helpful. If you're on a budget, it's worth it.
