Clean, well located. Helpful staff. Very small rooms. Little room for even a couple of pieces of luggage so need to be very organized to avoid tripping over luggage and each other. Heaters/air conditioners noisy.

Nice Hotel

The rooms were a little small than I expected, but very nice regardless It had free parking which was fabulous The owners bent over backwards to help, but there were only 2 persons available - I think the owners of the hotel. It had free wifi which was a must for me. Rooms were clean and quiet.

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.
