    Stained towels, stain or rost in the sink (nothing aweful though, but still unpleasant), some dirt inside the fridge, you better don't look under your bed. Other things (like shower door, floor and mirrow) were very clean though. This said, I still loved to stay at Shani's, because other factors, except cleaning, are great. Fix that and you are 10 stars!

    Great and comfortable room, very friendly stuff, it is a real hotel with very good standards. Very comfortable bed with many pillows, great size of the room, awesome view of the city from the 6th floor, great value for money, city center. With windows closed there was no noise, very quite. The lobby is very welcoming, with coffee, cookies and great tea selection. I had overall a great night and felt peaceful and quite in the middle of the downtown. Thank you!

    The room does not have enough lighting in the room or the bathroom. The jacuzzi did not work and the tub is slippery. The sink faucet was loose. Being on the first floor facing the pedestrian walk way, it was very noisy until very late. We go to bed late, so it wasn't an issue, but for some, it might be. A table with 2 chairs would be a nice addition.

    The location is excellent. The staff is very attentive. The hotel and rooms are very clean. The breakfasts have a wide variety of options.

    Despite room and hotel was tastefully decorated, dirt was everywhere which defenitey lowers the rating of the hotel. It looks like bathroom tiles were never cleaned, similar to windows. Moreover apartment was cold and qute noisy (on March when temperature outside was 10 degree). There was no hair dryer in the room however it was possible to borrow it from the reception.

    Breakfast was very good, staff very kind, location is great, coffe in the hall is something unusual but perfect idea! Man on the reception was very helpful, agreed to check in earlier than we should, so we could go and visit City as soon as arrived to Jerusalem with no additional luggages.

    Pictures of rooms here at Booking simply do not match the reality. We stayed in room 207 - it needs a renovation. There is a mildew on walls and near the window, furniture is outdated with some items broken (the drawer by the bedside table did not close). The room was dark and dusty. We were unwilling to spend much time in our room especially because of our toddler (mildew and dust for him was bad for him especially) and overall had a sense of being misled by the photos of rooms. I wouldn’t pick this hotel should I see actual state of rooms.

    The hotel is very good located, walking distance from the old city, has a friendly staff - both at the reception and breakfast place. Coffee and biscuits at the reception desk were very nice addition.

    noise isolation is very bad, you can hear everything what your neighbours are doing. Air condition wasn’t working (we needed it for heating), so we were provided with electrical heaters. Hotel needs repairs and is very unclean. Receptionist guy wasn’t very friendly

    very spacious rooms, central location in a walking distance till old town, Mahaney Yehuda market and other objects. not bad dairy breakfast

    The noise from the room (because there is a pub and there is noise from that pub). The windows were not clean and the window was not closing properly and probably because of that also the noise was louder. The hotel looks older (at least the staircase).

    The location is very good, close to Mahane Yehuda market, close to Jaffa Street and Old City of Jerusalem. I liked the breakfast, multiple options to choose from, most of the food was the same everyday, but sometimes there were some new meals in the breakfast (e.g pancake). I liked the lobby, with sofa and that there was tea and coffe in the lobby

    You could hear noise from the busy street below

    Value for money, superb location close to jaffa street with easy commute to the old city. Before arrival, the hotel had made contact via WhatsApp 1 week before arrival and requested whether we had any special requirements. Was very impressed however when we arrived, the reception staff kept a straight face however checkin went smoothly. The room was clean, had 2 bottles of water, another plus. The breakfast was also a good spread. Plenty to choose from. The room was big and spacious too

    To be honest, i think the worse about this hotel was their whattsapp communication. Its just over too much. I have never experience like this and to be honest, its annoying. Messages after booking, asking for "faster online booking", messages after first night, second night, when you leave - and if you wrote that is over too much messages, they didnt even answer (only robot) :-) All that stuff could be done when you check in and check out. Please do something with that. Best regards, Jan

    Very nice location, breakfasts were amazing!

    Bed was uncomfortable, there was loud music outside. In the morning, a lady opened our door and enter to the room when we were sleeping. She was a guest as well. She was also suprised a lot. When I informed the reception, they didn't care and said only "it is weird".

    Lovely inexpensive hotel in the (sometimes loudly beating) heart of the city

    The area gets very noisy at night, especially on the side facing the pub! You're in the heart of the city. Also, the amenities in the rooms are inconsistent. We paid the same price for 3 rooms but only one had a bathtub. Only one had an easy chair. Not all had lamps. I wish the rooms had been more consistent, but overall, this was a great stay. I will add that this was the coldest part of the year and the rooms were heated by little radiators that left things feeling a little chilly at times.

    Amazing location, and the best price we could find in the heart of Jerusalem! I was pleasantly surprised by almost every aspect of this little hotel. Rooms were comfortable and we all had a few excellent nights' sleep. Those of us who had breakfast were astonished by the excellent quality. Would definitely stay here again! Staff were by and large quite friendly. And it's a lovely touch having hot drinks available 24/7 at the front entrance.

    Rooms could have been cleaner and better equiped. Really, really noisy outside and the windows are not isolating the sound at all - if you want to sleep good or are travelling with children, avoid this hotel.
