The Hotel is virtually across the street from 'the wall' and the Walled off Hotel and a short walk from the checkpoint. By crossing the checkpoint, there is access to a regular bus service into Jerusalem. There is a mini supermarket just a couple of hundred metres from the hotel from which all necessitates can be purchased at a reasonable price. There are plenty of shops and food places are within a 20 minute walk from the Hotel. The Church of the Nativity and other sites are about 30 - 40 mins walk. The walk is pleasant and the area appears to be very safe. There is a refugee camp 15 minutes walk away The Hotel itself was clean and the room we were allocated was clean and appeared to be recently decorated. It was air conditioned, had a fridge, microwave and a washing machine. TV's in both the lounge and the bedroom. The bedroom did have a wardrobe. The toilet and shower were clean and more than adequate. The lounge had a sofa which we used as a bed for the third person. The people were very helpful and accommodating. We did look at the other rooms in the hotel and they did not appeal to us. Considering this hotel is in a country that is still being held back by the illegal occupiers, It was more than adequate.

The people were very helpful and accommodating.
We did look at the other rooms in the hotel and they did not appeal to us.
Considering this hotel is in a country that is still being held back by the illegal occupiers, It was more than adequate.
The only negatives we found was that the room did not have a window and natural light came through a skylight.
We had booked a room for 3 people so they provided us with an additional mattress. Although adequate, I guess we were expecting something more substantial. Having said that, we used the sofa as a bed and it was fine.
Overall, we were pleased with the location, people and the hotel. It just lacked the finer things.
The wifi was patchy but this is a country that is under siege.
We would definitely stay there again without hesitationMore
