The staff showed a lot of interest, help, hospitality and warm vibes! The location was amazing right at the old city entrance. The balcony and view to the old city were also much more than expected!

Very friendly host. And beautiful view of the city. Very accessible as it is just passed the Jaffa gate. No need to get lost in the old city

This was my second time staying at Jaffa Gate Hostel, and after my first visit I couldn’t imagine staying anywhere else in Jerusalem. The location is beautiful with views of the dome of the rock and the church of the holy sepulchre, the rooms are large and comfortable with amazing facilities, and the guys who run the hostel go out of their way to make you feel welcome and at home during your stay. My partner and I had a fantastic time during our visit, and I hope to be back soon!

It was a bit difficult to find the location at first, the house is an old stone building thus it has somewhat of old smell to it, I'd have liked to have a bit more shampoo packets.

Amazing to stay inside the old Jerusalem city wall, in a small private historical stone house, right near Jaffa Gate. Near to visit any place you need. Host is kind, generous, informative, & very caring to share all the economical ways to enjoy the stay in Jerusalem sight seeing, shopping, or eating.

I liked it all.

The Jaffa Gate Hostel is a magical place. You are truly immersed in Jerusalem at this hostel. The location is perfect. Make sure you check out their rooftop view 🤩. The family who runs the hostel are truly amazing people. This is a special place, filled with good energy. Whether you travel solo, or as a couple, or a group, this property has a variety of rooms. I was a solo traveler this time but I will return with family and friends and stay at Jafa Gate Hostel again!!

The rooftop has a great potential but it would benefit from some maintanance work.

Excellent location! Great value for the money. It’s very clean. Really hot shower, which is not so common in old city. The staff are superb. They display genuine hospitality and happily give advice on what to see in the city as well as where to eat without spending a fortune. The real gem of this place is the people who run it. It’s a home away from home.

The kindness and availability of Mr NOOR the receptionist to answer questions and give us the best information on the visits. Visits are also offered on site and it is Mr. NOOR who is responsible for making reservations for those who wish. He also found a taxi to take me back to Ben Gurion Airport on a Saturday, Shabbat when there is no transportation in the city. He is a very nice and helpful person. The hotel is a building over 600 years old and is located in the Old City of Jerusalem, close to places to visit. It offers simplicity and calm which contrast with the crowds outside. Clean establishment. I slept in a 4 female room, I only had one female with me during my stay. The toilets/showers are in the room but if you want a little privacy, there are toilets/showers in the corridors. Access to the roof provides a beautiful view of Jerusalem day and night. I've enjoyed my stay. I will definitely come back.

Great location near to the Christian quarter but also near the Aqsa mosque. Really good hotel and really clean even if the equipment is not the most modern you could find but I swear it is enough. You can immerse in the vibe of Jerusalem. You will feel like home, the room was clean, the towels and bed were smelling really good, the bed was comfortable and there was an air condition that was working really good. You can also enjoy a beautiful view from the top of the building where you can see a part of the old city of Jerusalem, really beautiful. The Hotel was really calm and peaceful. Special mention to Hassim, he hosted us like we were his brother and sister. He is so nice and kind, he had the best advices and best history to tell us. If you want to meet a native from Jerusalem with a good and pure heart, he will be your man. We WILL definitely come back to Jerusalem and when we will it will be at Jaffa Gate Hostel. I would recomend this place to everyone I know if they have a trip to Jerusalem. Greetings from Bochra & Adel

The location is great. Hotel is authentic. Very friendly management. You step back in time. Not comparable to a modern hotel. Accept it as it is.

Sve nam se dopalo.

The location of Jaffa Gate Hostel is phenomenal, this is the second time we have stayed in this hostel, and we will choose this hostel every next time. All the most important sights are within 5 minutes from the hostel, which gives you the opportunity to make the most of your time. The view from the terrace of the hostel is priceless, overlooking the entire Old City of Jerusalem. We owe special thanks to the staff of the hostel, who were always available for any kind of help, they made us feel at home at all times. It is also close to pubs, restaurants, shops, public transport stations, in a word, everything you need for a quality and unforgettable vacation.

Beautiful accommodation on the edge of the old city in Jerusalem - the staff were incredibly lovely, and made us feel entirely welcome. Our room was incredible value for money, with all the facilities we could have wanted and an amazing view of both the church of the holy sepulchre and the dome of the rock.
