Lonely Planet review

A boutique hotel for backpackers, this 500-year-old building feels rather cavelike with its uncut stone walls and narrow passageways. It’s lovingly maintained and every room has its own character: upstairs rooms have great views but get stiflingly hot in summer (and cold in winter), while lower rooms are cooler and more spacious (but lack the views). Bike hire (half-/full day 40/70NIS) can be arranged with one day’s notice. This is one of the friendliest and most helpful among the guesthouses in Jerusalem.
