We spent six very comfortable nights in the Beit Yosef Rose Suite. Though it was very cold the December night we arrived, the heat quickly took the chill off the air and by the next morning, we were quite comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the dining/living room was wonderful when our grandchildren, who live in Tsfat, came to "Bubbe and Zayde's house." I was particularly appreciate of the almost instant hot water in the sinks and the shower. The location is convenient to many of the ancient religious sites and to the main street. There are several small restaurants literally down the block. (I liked Tree of Life best.)

We stayed with my sister and my mother. The unit was exquisite and immaculate. The beds were plush and comfortable. There was no odor. Very centrally oriented near to art galleries, restaurants and tourist sites. Walking distance to everything. I cannot wait to go back again and have already sent friend to stay there. The owners were lovely and hospitable. I strongly recommend this bed and breakfast.

We booked in at the Metzuda for two nights but had to find alternative accommodation for the second. The apartment looks picturesque and very much ‘Tzefat’ but the beds are old and the apartment very musty. It seems that the air conditioning units haven’t been serviced for some time because it was frankly difficult to breath and my family could hardly sleep. The stuffed old sweaters are also a turn off and contribute to the uncomfortable atmosphere. We complained about the musty feeling and were told ‘open the windows and it will be OK’ but it wasn’t. The owner didn’t bother replying to an email and the lady who was prompt to take our money just shrugged her shoulders when we told her that we found the place inhabitable. I understand however that not all their suites are like this and that others are very pleasant indeed, perhaps we were unlucky to simply too fussy.

I stayed with family at the View House, perched high atop a hill in Tzfat. It was a charming house with great views. It's not your prototypical mid to higher end American hotel, so don't go in expecting modern design and features, but very comfortable and clean all the same. There were three bedrooms, each with two single beds (plus a 'den' that had an additional two beds), a full kitchen and two updated bathrooms. Free wifi included as well. A back porch overlooked the entire city. The front porch had a lime tree and a grape arbor, plus seating. There were many cats around (like in all of Israel) which my daughter found fascinating. The owner was very responsive, both via email in advance, and over the phone once we arrived in Israel.

We were looking for an affordable place to stay in the area for a family, with single beds and A/C. Most places we looked had only double beds (for a couple) and no A/C-- this was a very affordable, comfortable, and ultimately memorable, option.

One thing for note: there are MANY stairs to climb to get to the house -- carrying heavy luggage to and from the car was very difficult. Also, we happened to be there during the yearly 3 day Klezmer festival, so parking and traffic were a nightmare. On our last night, once the festival was over, parking was readily available, but it is street parking (not a parking lot).
