They should offer proper showers and toilets. It was really very cold inside.

While the price of the hostel seems good, amenities such as internet, a locker, using the washer and dryer are all extra. There is only a small kitchen and no common area so it is hard to meet people which is exacerbated by the fact that there is no alcohol allowed; this made is nearly impossible to meet people. There is also a curfew of 2AM which can get in the way of seeing the local bar scene which can easily go past that time.

Good: Great location. Good kitchen with everything what you need. Clean. Bad: Really small rooms. No parking, you can't go to the hostel by the car.

It was such a terrible experience! a very uncomfortable bed and tiny bathrooms. I have stayed in much better hostels in Jerusalem and in other places around the world for the same or even less money. I am happy that it was just for one night! The only good think was the locker, which of course has an extra fee...

The service we recived was not welcoming. We were also overcharged for the room. The staff made up a favorable exchange rate. The rooms are falsly advertised, they are tiny and they feel like you are in a Dungen. The man working the front desk (not the owener) was nice and the only saving grace for your hostel. We work in the middle east and many of our coliagues travel to Jerusalem, the one thing I am sure of is that not one of them will ever stay at the new sweedish hostel.
