    I wish the outdoor space was more welcoming (and shady) during the day.

    it’s in old castle, very comfortable redone. Issa, who keeps things running, was wonderfully helpful and informative.

    I recommend not trying to drive inside the city, traffic is terrible, and to get to the property you need to drive very narrow one way roads.

    Our hosts were very welcoming and helped us getting to know the area. The location was excellent, and the property has a lot of history

    The location is excellent, a very short stroll from Manger square. At the same time it is also very quiet and has a garden to relax in. Breakfast was plentiful and good. The hotel is a renovated palace and every room is covered with original paintings, making this place special. Staff were very friendly, in particular Ahmed !

    Everything was fine

    Best accomodation on our trip through Israel and Palestine. Everyone there is so friendly and warm, you just feel fine when you enter. Highly recommended to stay at Ma'an lil-Hayat Boutique Hotel when in Bethlehem. Five minutes to Manger Square, located right in the center. Breakfast was rich and very satisfying. The whole house and the rooms are bright and beautifully decorated. By the way, the house is an old palace. Very beautiful!

    I would recommend them to make Paypal as an option of payment.

    I can only talk about the accomodation in superlatives. First of all, the staff was very welcoming, friendly, intelligent and really helpful. The room was beautiful with comfortable beds, nice and clean bathroom, plrasant temperature, lovely decoration. I especially loved that outside at the end of the corridor there was a balcony from where you could see the other side of Betlehem valley and at the same time listen to the morning call of the Muezzin. Its location is amazing as it is really close to the centre and it is really easy to reach everything. The breakfast area is beautiful and their breakfast was outstanding. We loved their Arabic coffee and Ahmed's tutorial of how to make Hummus 😁 Above all, it is a good feeling to stay in a place where they support such a good cause as L'Arche. We would love to return here and would recommend everyone to pick this hotel for their stay in Betlehem.🥰
