Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a convenient location near Herod Gate making it easy to explore the Old City of Jerusalem. The rooms, while basic, could use some updating and are quite cramped, particularly the small bathrooms. The service was friendly and helpful, though communication about additional amenities could be improved. Dining options were satisfactory and provided good value. The hotel's proximity to attractions like the Garden Tomb adds to its appeal.
The hotel is located conveniently near the Muslim quarters of Jerusalem, providing easy access to key attractions. While the rooms are a bit dim and not the cleanest, the staff is friendly. However, the hotel is old and has a noticeable smell. The dining options are simple with a mix of Middle Eastern and continental dishes.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean but had extremely thin walls, making it hard to enjoy the shower comfortably. The staff was friendly and helpful, but some service incidents left me a bit unsettled. The location was convenient for accessing the Muslim quarters of Jerusalem, but the area needs updating. The dining options were a mix of delicious Middle Eastern specialties, but I found some aspects lacking. Overall, it was an average stay with both positive and negative aspects to consider.
The hotel has reasonable-size rooms that are very clean and comfortable, although they could use a small renovation for cosmetic faults. The service is friendly and responsive. The location is ideal, close to the old city and with easy access to transportation. The dining options offer a good selection, but the focus seems to be more on economy than quality.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were a bit small and old, but surprisingly quiet considering they shared the same area. The service was excellent, with extremely helpful and courteous staff who went above and beyond to accommodate us. The location, though not the best, was convenient with just a 10-minute walk to the Herod Gate. The dining experience was abundant and tasty, exceeding my expectations. However, it became a bit monotonous after a few days.
