About

Jerusalem Guest House

Jerusalem Guest House sits on Jaffa Road, a lively artery lined with shops and restaurants, a short walk from the Hebrew Music Museum and the Old City's Western Wall. The 2-star hostel keeps things simple: free Wi-Fi throughout, a shared kitchen with 24/7 access, and a mix of private and shared rooms spread across a characterful old Turkish building.

Rooms range from budget doubles to superior twins with en-suite showers, heating, and air conditioning. Some have balconies overlooking the street. The hostel’s real draw is its location — the light rail stops right outside, and markets, cafés, and historic sites are all within a few minutes' walk.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Unbeatable location — Right on Jaffa Road, a 2-minute walk from Jaffa Center Station, and close to Mahane Yehuda Market and the Old City.
  • Friendly and helpful staff — Guests repeatedly note the team's kindness, including special gestures like making Indian chai and allowing early check-in.
  • Great value for budget travelers — At £21 per night, with free Wi-Fi and a shared kitchen, it's a wallet-friendly base for exploring.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Basic amenities — Rooms are simple, with some lacking air conditioning (only Superior and Double Balcony have it), and there's no mention of private bathrooms in all room types.
  • Inconsistent experience — While most guests praise it, a few note that the property falls short beyond its location, and one gave a 5/10 saying the rest was a 'nightmare.'
  • No pets allowed — Despite a listed amenity, the policy clearly states pets are not allowed, which may be a surprise for travelers with animals.

“The staff were fantastic – always helpful and kind, even brewing us special Indian chai one evening. Great value, comfy bed, and having our own bathroom with towels was a nice touch. The kitchen was fully equipped, and the location was handy with lots of restaurants and shops nearby.”
