Jerusalem Hostel

The location is quite good, the railway and the bus station are close, the cleanliness is zero, the bathroom is poor and dirty, the sheets smell and someone slept on them before.

I’ve been staying at the Jerusalem Hostel for years, during all my returns to Israel. In my opinion there is no finer location, situated literally in the center of Jerusalem. The staff have always been extremely friendly and accommodating. It continues to be my first choice, and I hope to see you there.

Great location 👌 Near to train station 🚉 Around restaurants Nice stuff Quite rooms Roof spot Close to ✡️ ✝️☪️ Squares And manila centre shop Good value and fair prices Clean and friendly host

Excellent location and really good facilities. The staff provides us all the requested things we ask. We booked an entire room since we were 5. The hostel has all we needed to stay a couple of days in Jerusalem.

I loved it the moment I walked in. It's definitely a hostel, not a five-star hotel and, for its location, it is outstanding value. It occupies a prime spot on Jaffa Street, a few minutes' walk from the Old City, with Zion Square just opposite. Street entertainers and musicians abound, there are loads of shops and restaurants and there is a great inner city vibe. The tram service takes you straight to the train and bus station or, in the other direction, to the Old City unless you prefer the short walk. The decor is old and traditional. Clearly the place could be fully renovated, but that risks ruining the charm and certainly putting the prices up. Facilities are basic but clean.... although the bathrooms (private and shared) fell below an acceptable standard. However, it is a hostel! There is a small shared kitchen and a fantastic roof terrace overlooking all the action. Some camped on the roof and this was where we were served our Israeli breakfast, included in the price. There is a very warm welcome from staff who are helpful and knowledgeable. If you want to stay in the middle of Jerusalem and don't need a five-star hotel, there is nowhere better. Four stars. Redo the bathrooms to a basic level for that extra star.

Great location, friendly and helpful staff. Very close to Jaffa gate. They also can arrange day trips in Israel. Good breakfast on the rooftop We spent two nights there. Best choice in Gerusalem.

Jerusalem Hostel is located in the center of Jerusalem, the best place for you to smell the people, the food and the uniqueness of the spiritual Capital of Israel! It take you easy walking distance from here to the most holy site of Western Wall where you can not help sinking into a history of 4000 years long from Abraham to Jesus, and from Jesus to the universal churches from 4 corners of the world… you can not escape being a part of Jerusalem, especially if you are looking forwarding to being a part of New Jerusalem, you have no excuse to NOT visit the entire city of west and East Jerusalem! Of course you start your journey from Jerusalem Hostel; watch the symbol of this hostel is a LION!!

We had a great stay at the Jerusalem hostel. Well located in walking distance of the old city and surrounded by shops and restaurant. There was a free breakfast and the room was comfy. Rooftop area also provided social opportunities. Would recommend

Wonderful location and a very good value! We enjoyed our balcony overlooking a square where musicians performed — it felt like we were being serenaded. Clean room with a refrigerator, good bathroom, lovely breakfast on the rooftop. I would stay again when I return to Jerusalem.
