Citadel Youth Hostel Reviews

The hostel is located in the heart of old city, the staff is very helpful, great value for money!

Good hostel, nice staff special the palestianian/US guy. Negative things is the kitchen that is to small and is not nice to clean the hostel at 9 am when everyboy are still inside. Are small things what i say and the hostel is a very good hostel

A nice hostel when you want to stay only for one or two nights...not longer...will be uncomfortable...tiny showers and so on...

Quite cool place, good located.

One of the best hostels I ever been! Authentic, clean place with great staff!

The most important thing, when I go somewhere, is to find nice staff people so that I could get info about the place - what to do, what not to do, how to move around. Israel and Jerusalem were totally new for me and the staff of Citadel really helped me to understand what was going on around. Very kind and helpful people, all of them! I would definitely stay again here. It is in the heart of everything, cheap and clean but the best thing is to be said about staff. Thank you and see you again!

I have been to Jerusalem four times, and I can't even think of staying at a different hostel.

GOOD: Very nice place, good rooms a beautiful view over the Jerusalem skyline, nice staff, the building is on a super location. BAD: A lot of noise at night and cold showers (we tried 3 times on 3 different moments in day) can't pay by credit card

Very good hostel!

It is one of the worse hostel I have ever been... The price for the third night, after spending two nightst there, was raised up 25% without any real good reason.

Helpful and friendly staff. The location can't be beat and the view is amazing from the roof. The place also has great character. It is 500 years old and has great atmosphere.

The most valuable variable concerning this hostel is the location. The view it allows is astonishing, and waking up inside de Old City is absolutely unique. That alone is worthwhile the stay. Nonetheless, I advise caution with the staff recommendation. Although they are very polite and helpful, we got a handful of inaccurate steers. The structure is simple, but charming, since it is meant to keep the atmosphere of thousand-year construction evident.

Everything was but 8 bed in very little room, not so good!

thanks to Adam & Florian for making my stay a pleasure. Do get those new cups for the kitchen!

Excellent place, highly recommended. Great location, friendly and helpful staff, very clean and comfortable rooms.

It was a really good experience! I wish I had stayed more!

I stayed at the Citadel when a massive storm hit Jerusalem. The 12 bed dorm leaked like a rusty bucket, doors slammed in the wind and I felt more springs in the mattress than actual padding. The bathrooms are miniature as well. On the upside, reasonable location, good wifi/internet, interesting building and great view from the top floor.

the staff is simply GREAT, they are very friendly and very helpful. The hostel itself has a nice atmosphere and it is also very well located. despite the lack of glasses in the kitchen and the very cold dorm I would go back to this hostel, I met great people there and always find help in the staff.

Lovely place, good service, wonderful atmosphere and people! Can't say anything but positive things. Although... watch your head because of the low old ceiling (which again.... looks wonderful of course!). Thank you Citadel Hostel!

Worst hostel I have stayed at. Stayed in the single room. The room smelt and the bed linen was incredibly old. A some long blacks hairs were on my pillow when I arrived. Attracts some unusual people. One girl (guest) asked me if I could lend her an iron and later asked whether I could give some money. You are not sure whether to take a shower because you might come out of the bathroom dirtier than when you entered. Location great though.
