Hostel for frequent travelers”

If you are used to staying at hostels when traveling, and waiting in line is not a problem for you, then this is the best place to stay in Jerusalem. The place is near the attractions and grocery stores. You can go to landmarks on foot, and I believe this area is safer for tourists. There is also Mcdonald's nearby. The price of food in Jerusalem is high, so I recommend making use of the pantry. This hostel offers free access to the kitchen, so you can cook any food that you want, just buy them from the grocery store nearby. They also serve breakfast, which is a lot actually. You can also use their washing machine and drier for a cheap price. The only downside to this hostel is that during peak season (or even regular days, not sure), you will need to wait for some hours to get inside (you may wait out or just come back and leave your things in the storage room, just ask one of the volunteers). They basically don't have regular employees and only have volunteers to help the hotel check-in their guests. So a lot of patience is required. Out of the many hotels/hostels that I've been to in Jerusalem, I would definitely go back to this one.

Well... the kitchen is useful. the rooms are all in a n old building with a new inner srtucture, so clean, but they did not build enough bathrooms, and they don't have enough women's dorms the mixed dorms seem to be mens dorms, so it is a bit unfair to women.

Beware”

Check in is late usually 4pm. The place is loud, I can still hear music until I left at 2:30am. Thankfully was only there for one night and had to leave early. Guests in the shared rooms would stay in the common area and flirt with others thinking they are keeping their rooms quiet but they are actually disturbing the rooms next to the common area. Only liked the place bec it has a coin laundry.
