I We were three guests and the double room was well equipped with a double bed and couch bed with a microwave, coffee/tea machine, refrigerator, cutlery and crockery and standard bathroom supplies. The service was extremely prompt, responsive and accommodating, and the location was perfect with neighborhood restaurants, grocery stores and shops. Our ten day stay left little to be desired. I give it a high recommendation. I did not eat here but at the Grand Cafe below wi a 10% hotel discount for an excellent breakfast.

We thought this was an extremely engaging family owned boutique hotel with rooms of different sizes, little kitchenettes. Staff was extremely friendly and welcoming The hotel did not provide a meal options.Therefore, I have no rating for that. We are looking to go back as a bigger family as our home base for some family celebrations coming up

This was our first time driving in Jerusalem so it was a little overwhelming, but Eli was very helpful in finding the building over the phone and getting the keys after hours. The unit was sufficient for our stay of 2 nights.

It was a wonderful place to stay. I keep the Shabbat and they were very accommodating. They provided a hot water urn, hot plate and even a timer. I was able to entertain my family on the beautiful terrace for lunch. It was absolutely beautiful. I will be coming back! Thank you for a wonderful stay. Cathy
