The Hostelz.com Review
Abraham Hostel Jerusalem really is a great pick and pretty cheap too. Our stay was a great experience -- we were there during Christmas and they had a really wonderful celebration that really won us over. They are just starting out, so they are anxious to show you a great experience. Parts of the hostel were still under construction when we were there, but the rooms are all really nice.
The Location
The hostel is in a pretty good location in the relatively newer part of Jerusalem and very close to the big market. The bus station is about a fifteen-minute straight-shot from the hostel and the Old City is about a pleasant fifteen-minute walk down Jaffa Street in the opposite direction.
Rooms and Bathrooms
The rooms are very nice -- newly renovated and very clean. hey have little tags for your bed and all the sheets and blankets look brand new. They even have mini-fridges, cabinets, and sinks in the dorm rooms. They have all kinds of options for rooms -- it is a very big place.
The bathroom is shared -- one ensuite for a room of six people. The only problem we remember is that the shower is in the bathroom and water goes all over the place (but they have squeegees) and it can be annoying waiting for the toilet when someone is in the shower. You can also hear soft noise of traffic outside the windows.
Common Spaces
They have a nice lobby with computers (free Wi-Fi is also available here) and pool table. You can also find free hot water in this area, as well as fresh goodies from the local market occasionally. They have apparently just built a breakfast area with a lot of communal seating and hang-out space -- which we're sure would make the hostel even better. They also take your luggage behind the front desk for the day -- and are very meticulous about tagging it and making sure nothing gets lost! The hostel definitely has a social atmosphere, which is nice.
Summary
This really is a great hostel in Jerusalem, at a very good price.

Abraham Hostel Jerusalem Reviews from the WebHostelz.com Guest Reviews
Hostel Nirvana I loved this place ... It was the best hostel I stayed at in Israel by far. It's brand new, the dorms are well designed, with en-suite toilet and shower and comfortable beds. The whole hostel is very clean throughout. The staff here are very helpful and professional. There's a large lounge and dining area with a large well equipped kitchen and a well priced bar on one of the upper floors. There's also free wi-fi and hammocks in this area if that's your thing. A basic breakfast is thrown in (Toast, cereal, tea, coffee). All at about 18 EUR a night! There's only two small negative points I can point out about this place, the first is that its about a 15 minute walk to the old town (although a new tram service has now started) and one side of the building suffers from traffic noise from the road outside. But all in all I can't recommend Abraham highly enough. — Martin , UK (2011-09-16)
