Amazing stuff, great location.
Pros:

The staff are exceptionally helpful, very nice and professional. The location is great very close to the major tourist sites (near Damascus gate). I’d definitely come again.

I wish I could have stayed longer!
Pros:

It is perfectly located to walk to a bus stop and some fantastic restaurants and cafes. There is a great cappuccino 3 minutes walk away.

The building is cozy and historic feeling. The breakfast was so delicious and the staff helped me get taxis and gave great directions.

Pros:

Очень удачное место
2 минуты от Дамасских ворот!
Супер милый персонал!
Отель старенький, но чистенький.
Отель прямо внутри церкви
Это больше похоже на отель для религиозных поломников.

Отличное место!
Pros:

Гостевой дом при Сирийском патриархате католической церкви. На первом этаже есть часовня, где можно помолиться в любое время. Комнаты аскетичные и небольшие, но зато это самый доступный по цене вариант проживания около старого города. Так что учитывая месторасположение и цены в других отелях, простота номеров уже не имеет большого значения. Особенно, если в номере только ночевать. При заселении в номере ждала тарелка с фруктами. Тихий переулок. Завтрак достаточно скромный, но есть что выбрать. Хумус был вкуснейший, какой я когда-либо пробовал! Очень помогла женщина на ресепшен, когда понадобилось купить билеты на самолет. У меня не был с собой номер телефона, на который приходил пароль от банковской карты для оплаты на сайте авиакомпании. Она погла оформить билет со своей карты. Еще раз огромное спасибо!
Учитывайте, что это гостевой дом, а не отель, сотрудник не круглосуточно на ресепшен. Если приезжаете не днем, то обязательно нужно сообщить заранее о времени приезда.

Une très bonne adresse 🙂
Pros:

Emplacement idéal.
Proche de la porte de Damas.
Dans une petite impasse au calme, en face de l’Ecole biblique au cœur de la Nablus Road

Hôtel charmant et confortable.
Accueil chaleureux et attentionné.
Équipe serviable.
Bon petit déjeuner.
Ici on parle anglais et aussi français ( Francis ).

A noter : une petite chapelle de l’église syriaque est dans les bâtiments.
( Syriac Catholic Patriarche Exarchate of Jérusalem)
À noter aussi : deux excellents restaurants à proximité immédiate : Jérusalem Hôtel et Olive.

Wir waren absolut erstaunt und glücklich, was dieser kleine Rückzugsort alles bietet.
Pros:

Das Frühstück war typisch israelisch, alles was man braucht. Das Hostel liegt ideal, um die Altstadt zu Fuß zu erreichen und das Gartengrab ist grad um die Ecke. Es gibt eine Dachterasse und einen schönen Innenhof zum entspannen (vor allem nach der Erkundung der Altsadt genial, weil es hier sehr ruhig ist). Getränke gibt´s auch gegen Bezahlung, wer mag. Das Hotelpersonal ist sehr zuvorkommend und bietet Kaffe an (nicht nur zur Begrüßung). Wir waren sehr zufrieden! An der Lage vor Ort (Konflik im Land) waren wir interessiert und hatten das Glück vor allem mit dem netten und aufgeschlossenen Francis (Hostelempfang) dazu gute Gespräche führen zu können. Es wurde uns ganz selbstverständlich bei unserer sehr frühen Abreise ein Taxi organisiert (das dann direkt und mega pünklich vor dem Hostel stand). Es gibt darüber hinaus die Möglichkeit über das Hotelpersonal privat geführte Touren in Jerusalem und Umgebung zu bekommen.

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
