Pros:

Отличное место . Очень атмосферно , чисто , тихо, приветливый персонал . Огромный плюс - это частная парковка . Номер чистый , есть полотенца и всё необходимое для комфортного проживания . Идеальное место , если вы приехали осматривать достопримечательности Иерусалима , а не сидеть в гостинице !

Pros:

הצוות היה מאוד חיובי ועוזר, היינו בירושלים לענייני עבודה וסיימנו מוקדם, הגענו לצ'ק אין הרבה זמן מראש ומכיוון שלא היה עומס ישר נתנו לנו להכנס ללא חיוב נוסף. החדרים גדולים ומרווחים, התקרות הגבוהות נותנות תחושת מרחב נעימה. חנייה מעולה ללא תוספת תשלום!

Cons:

המקלחת מאוד קטנה וצפופה, לא היה נוח כ"כ. לא היה סבון בדיספנסר

Excellent location and extremely friendly staff. The guesthouse is a brief walk from the Damascus Gate, tram 1 and bus connections almost at the doorstep. Ideal for your vacation in Jerusalem!

Good base to explore Jerusalem.
Pros:

The guesthouse is near the Damascus Gate and is an ideal base to explore the old city on foot. It is near a light railway stop so it is also easy to explore Jersualem more widely and get there from the airport. The rooms are clean and the beds are very comfortable. The breakfasts are very good and the staff are friendly and helpful. There are several good restaurants nearby for your evening meal. We had a pleasant stay and value for money in what can be an expensive city.

Cons:

We were happy.

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.
