The Jerusalem Hostel Reviews

Great location, helpful staff, decent rooms. My only complaint is with the security. A woman who was either stoned and/or very drunk was staying in the woman's dorm and invited buskers from the street into our room for a jam session. Though it was hilarious it was also unsettling. Management kicked her out after realizing but she should not have been permitted to stay if the first place.

Everything here was quite nice: the staff were very friendly, everything was clean. I stayed for 3 nights and I would stay again in the future.

This hostel had all the basic facilities and had pleasant and helpful staff. Rooms were fairly clean although power points were in ridiculously hard-to-reach locations. However, this hostel allows in all sorts of guests, some of whom were shady and looked criminal. In my first room, there was a long-term guest who was probably a homeless person and who stared at you from his bed, which was rather disconcerting. I requested to switch rooms and the staff kindly agreed - I felt much safer there.

I had a great stay at the Jerusalem Hostel. I was there for 4 nights, had originally booked 3 and then extended my stay. The location is unbeatable, its within a 10 minute walk to the Jaffa Gate and is right on the new tram lines (so one can get to Yad Vashem and other points of interest). The area has a nice vibe at night and there is lots of night life. Thick windows ensure that the rooms are quiet. Breakfast is simple, just toast and jam, I recommend heading out to try the local specialitie

The staff was friendly and helpful.

Nice Hostel, good location, clean and free breakfast and wifi.

We really felt pampered in this hostel. Facilities are simply great and the historical feeling of the building adds a nice touch. The staff was really helpful (thank you Andreas!) and even helped us book tours to the south. Zion square can get noisy with drummers or hassidim but at 10pm all is quiet again. The location is very convenient, I'd surely suggest that instead of the Old City where things can get sketchy and rooms seldom have windows=) Beware that the reception does not work on Shabat.

Loved this hostel, it feels more like a small hotel! All is extremely clean, quiet at night and beds are super comfortable. The room terrace is an amazing place where to chill, sunbathe or chat. The "monit sherut" from tel aviv stops right behind the hostel (harav kook), perfect location for sightseeing, shopping and exploring. The staff was extremely nice to us and helped with organizing our trips =)

The hostel is perfectly located in the center of Jerusalem. The staff was very kind and the room was new, clean und friendly! Very nice hostel!
