best value for purpose
Pros:

Its best value for purpose, St. Thomas hits every one of them.
First with a unique and wonderful church already at its grounds
the guesthouse is humble yet very welcoming - the staff is remarkably kind and attending,
The room was very clean, and the beds were very comfortable, breakfast was just right with the local olives bread and cheese
And you have a secluded secure parking lot for your rented car, and two gas stations less than 100m from the gate with a 7-Eleven shop
Location is everything, and its double and triple so in Jerusalem, it's a 5 minutes walk to the old city, the purpose is going out on foot and reaching everywhere
St. Thomas provides this comfort and the feeling of sanctuary while as keeping you on budget
