Shower works and has hot water...that's about the only nice thing I can say about this hotel.

I've been there together with a group of friends to spend some days visiting Jerusalem. The best advanatge of that hotel is the location on a hill, the panorama we saw from our window was really beautifull. The hotel is not far from the old city, just 15-20min walking or 5min by taxi (a little bot expansive). Down the hill there's also the possibility to take a collective taxi.
The hotel services are very basic, since the structure, the rooms, and so on, seem not to be updated since 60's. Our room was spacious and bright, with a big french door to access the panoramic balcony, but, the room was without airconditioning! This was not a particualry pitty for us, since during the day we were not in the hotel and in the evening the temperature got down, but if somenone decides to stay there in the hot hours it should be impossible to support to stay in the room. The bathroom was old and without airdryer.
The buffet dinner has a lot of dishes but of pour quality.
On the other hand the personnel has always been very friendly with us.
The hotel works a lot with groups of turists/pilgrims, so the saty here could be not so funny for alone-travellers.

Recommended only for a low cost holiday in Jerusalem.

Our Israeli guide recommended this hotel to us, picked us up here and dropped us off here each day of our stay. We were on a budget and there were six of us family members to accommodate (three rooms). Plus we naturally needed to eat three meals a day somewhere while we took in the beautiful city which is Jerusalem. Our guide has been doing tours of Israel for 35+ years and worked us into experiences during our 10-day tour around the country which were most rewarding and had a behind-the-scenes feel. So, although the outer appearance of this hotel suffers from some of the criticisms others have mentioned (dated feel, some painting-over of lightswitch plates, things like that), I have to take issue most other criticisms and to set them straight.

First the idea of a surly staff: well, I accidently left my backpack in the lobby before a day's outing and there it was waiting for me on the credenza behind the front desk on my return and was smilingly handed to me by the young woman at the front desk on my return. The proprietor happily took my mail for mailing. Each night after dinner the waiter at the restaurant (food was included for two meals with the price) would politely ask what time we would like to take our breakfast the next morning, and, oh, would we like a pitcher or two of cold water to take with us to our room. I've never had this thoughtfulness extended at any other hotel anywhere I've traveled. The waitstaff in the dining room were very attentive to our needs, serving and clearing just when we were ready like they could read our minds. (The food was a reasonable mix for us of (good) hummus, Middle Eastern salads, pitas, and fairly American-style food actually for the main dishes (think fries and steamed carrots and peas and a main dish like schnitzel or breaded fish). Considering for a couple of nights we appeared to be the only guests in the hotel the breakfast buffet in particular was especially generous and complete - eggs, sausages, toast, coffee, tea, cold cereal, orange juice, yogurt, cheese, etc., etc. Felt a little guilty at the spoiling but hey someone has to be spoiled!

It wasn't long after we settled in after the first night that I made my peace with this place and saw past the poor paint job in the rooms to realize this place was a good (great?) fit for our family. I slept better here than in Tiberius at a higher-rated hotel and this despite the barking dog two nights that the hotel could obviously do nothing about. The beds were comfortable and had comfy backrests for reading. The outlets for charging phones, etc., worked (advise to bring an extension cord for multiple items to charge). The bathrooms were by far the newest/cleanest part of the hotel's accommodations and delivered plenty of hot water for a refreshing shower or bath; which goes a long way towards making a stay refreshing. Like the rooms they were spacious; every day fresh towels.

The lobby was also quite attractive, clean, and relatively updated.
Internet was available on not one but two PC's, one of which I am writing this review on. Connection speeds were good if the PCs themselves a little underpowered.

Finally, the views from the balconies were pretty sweet. Since this appears to not be a heavily-visited hotel you should be able to stay easily on a top floor and have one of the great views we had. The cab ride to Old Town is about $8/not bad.

For the price, seems like Mishi once again put us in just the right spot to maximize our time/$ spent. Thanks Mishi for this find!

Me and my family really enjoyed accomodation in this hotel,the staff was very helpful and cooperative. I will be happy to book in this hotel in the future.I really recommend this hotel.
