It's okay, fair value, good place for my first stop. Loved it. Very grateful.
Pros:

My first visit in Jerusalem, this was the first place I stayed.
They made a few sandwiches for Sabbath, that was kind.
They were willing to open the door even though there was late arrival (01:00), that was nice.
I had very good rest here. I loved that they have a Bible in the room! Hidden in the drawer, that was a great great surprise!
The reception seemed
I was very grateful to Jerusalem overall because/and I loved Israel.

Cons:

It's in muslim neighborhood.
The breakfast is basic.
The staff smokes. I don't like that but up to them.

It’s okay. Ok.
Pros:

It was a first decent stay in Jerusalem. My first sabbath was so peaceful. Kitchen staff was kind to help with a sandwich. Located in the muslim quarter not the most safe to me. Some rooms need serious renovation. Not sure if staff was Christian or not.

Cons:

Not kosher. Sababa.

Ideal um die Altstadt zu Fuss zu erkunden. Oase der Ruhe.
Pros:

Sehr freundliches Personal. Nahe Altstadt und trotzdem sehr ruhig. Eigener Parkplatz, auf dem das Auto auch noch nach dem checkout stehen durfte. Sehr sauber. Sehr gute Betten.

Cons:

Sehr kleines Bad.
Für ein 4-Zimmer zu klein für einen längeren Aufenthalt.
Frühstück eher einfach gehalten.

Hidden gem for extended, budget-aware visit.
Pros:

Hidden gem for extended, budget-aware visit. Quiet location, very close to shops, tram, buses & Old City. Free, secure parking! (their excellent tip; waze app for driving). Ensuite room had everything needed: very simple & somewhat tired fitout but Spotless. Excellent, helpful staff. Would definitely stay again.
