4 Great, simple, and excellent location
I stayed in this hostel in May 2009. Its location is excellent very near to mosque so near that I could go to mosque for all the prayers. Very close to bazaar and other historical places of Jerusalem. Highly recommended for all budgets, would definitely come back.

5 The very best
This hostel is by far the best in Jerusalem. Staff are awesome, environment is a perfect balance of comfortable and interesting. Clean, cheap, good service, great environment, quiet rooms, great location. Would recommend no other. Stayed all of summer 2009 and miss it terribly.

5 Fantastic
Very clean, with space, a nice living room and free Wi-Fi internet! The staff are really cool, and the dorms are comfortable. The roof is great too, because you can stay there and bathe in the sun, when you're too tired of the noise and constant movement of the Old City. Really cheap, and you can meet people from everywhere, always happy to discuss or have a walk to the Wailing Wall with you. Go there! You won't regret it!

4 Hilarious and welcoming
Loved this Hostel -- very reasonable room rates, especially for a team of poor archaeologists! Stayed here on various weekends through the summer of 2008. Owner seemed a bit shonky, but was more amused than scared! Great roof terrace for a few drinks and a shisha in the evening and amazing location -- just a few minutes walk from the Damascus Gate and only ten minutes to just about anywhere else in the Old City. Would recommend this place without reservation, have only the fondest of memories of this hostel.

4 Good place to stay
Nice place to stay on Old City. Two minutes' walk from Holy Sepulchure and about ten minutes from Western Wall. Good service for reasonable price.

4 Still pretty good after all these years.
First stayed here in 1981 when it was Tabasco and I was a volunteer at Sdot Yam and the place was run by the bad boys of the bazaar. It's still a great building and the staff are very decent. The midnight curfew can be hard to keep when you spend the night partying at Mike's Place but there's usually someone on the desk to let you in. It's clean and the showers are ok. The cafe is pretty disorganised (I never could get that chicken curry) but it's handy for a coffee and a computer.

5 The cleanest and cheapest hostel in Jerusalem!
For a hostel standard in Jerusalem it is excellent. I stayed there four weeks in spring 2007. The rooms and toilets were clean, it is cheap, and the staff are friendly. And if you need internet there is a little cafe at first floor that can provide that. The hostel can be hard to find, but when you finally do -- Check out the yellow chairs, my friend and I painted them.

4 Safe, friendly, clean, and reasonably priced.
Stayed a total of five nights. Safe and sound after the trials and tribulations of the day. Clean room with plenty of hot water for showers. Staff wonderful -- new friends! Expect us back in the future.

3 I spend two months last summer there, and the guys running the place are kind of arab-mafia. just dont take them too serious, so its gonna be ok. within your stay, you'll meet a bunch of crazy people from all over the world and soon you get in contact with the other guests, either some want you to convert to christianism or you just get across with some strange views of the worlds situation. in short, you just cant avoid deep-meaning discussions about G-d, politics, G-d and ehhh politics but i met some people there with i am still in contact. Visit the place, barukhim haBayim, salaam alaykum!

5 Stayed here. actually worked at the front desk for six weeks in July to August 2000. Awesome place, memories for a lifetime. Great fun downstairs at the tearoom. the Fri. punch/dance parties were great! Ash and the crew that run the place border on psycho, but they are good-hearted folk who make you feel at home.

5 This is the place in Jerusalem where you'll have a great time. It has nice rooms, and in the summertime you can stay on the roof for cheaper. There's a nice pub and it has the greatest atmosphere. Definitely the hostel to stay in.
