Good all round.

Pleasant stay, hospitable staff, very accommodating for my needs, and worth the money. Had to stay in the Old City to be near my place of study and this was perfect. Managed to negotiate a private room for a month by month basis after staying for two nights earlier on in my trip was glad to make it my home for the short while whilst in Jerusalem.

Location is great, but you can get better value for your money elsewhere

I stayed for 10 nights but it wasn't because of value for money far from it.
Location - hard to beat
Mostly friendly and helpful (except with medication - see below)
Common areas are nice for sitting in
☹️ Kitchen only had a microwave so hard to self cater especially for 10days
☹️ Nowhere to wash clothes
☹️ The bathroom - see photos. I stayed in a single room (which was average at best) but the bathroom was something else...see photos. Toilet seat held up with sticky tape, mould and could barely sit on the toilet without hitting my knees and I'm short.
The water sprays everywhere and out the door, which doesn't close properly, into the bedroom
☹️ If you're a light sleeper, this is not the place for you.
☹️ Even though the facilities say AC, you are charged if you leave it on. I was castigated for this - nowhere else do you have to turn it off and I have vital medication that has at be stored at no greater than 25° but no-one cared and was forced to leave it in the kitchen fridge on the next level up even though I have to take it first thing in the morning.

Still bad 30 years later.

The problem with this hotel it takes advantage of young people on a limited budget due to its location. I stayed there 30 years ago and it had bugs and I visited last month, still filthy, why do people stay there when there are far nicer hostels around. I keep hearing the word basic in reviews but there is a level a paying guest should stoop to to be near centre.

Good location, that’s about it

Originally booked for three nights due to location, my bad didn’t read the reviews first. Don’t know if the owners even care about reviews since nothings done to improve. I don’t even bother to mention the mold, dirt and sewer smell. Worst for me were paper thin walls, I could hear everything as well as if I were sleeping at the street. Checked out and moved to another hostel 10 times better incl great breakfast with the same price.

Friendly staff, but cold, dirty, and old

I don't like to write a bad review, especially as the staff were lovely and very helpful. However, the reviews on the various booking sites are not accurate. Our room was very cold as there was no heating and the walls had holes in them. The bathroom was covered in mold and the toilet smelt. The shared kitchen was completely filthy with rotten cupboards. I know this place is cheap, but it really needs renovating. Annoyingly the staff 'cancelled' my booking on Hostelworld so I couldn't review it on there - which is maybe why they have a good score on booking sites. On the bright side, its in a great location and a lot cheaper than other places.

Excellent location
