    The location of the property was perfect, right in the heart of the old city. From my room, I had incredible views of St Sepulcre, the Dome of the Rock, and other famous sights. the team at the hostel was incredibly friendly, helpful, and always had a smile on their faces. We appreciated their knowledge and kindness.

    That the property seemed a bit deceptive. I booked a 4-bed shared room, but upon arrival, I was given a bed that had been rented out to someone else.

    We loved the location of Jaffa Gate, it was perfect for exploring the Old Town of Jerusalem. The room we stayed in was basic but clean, with the necessary amenities. The air conditioning kept us warm during the cold December days. The host was welcoming and helpful, providing us with all the information we needed and offering tours. The rooftop terrace offered stunning views of the old city. we had a pleasant stay and would recommend this hotel.

    We loved the location of Jaffa Gate, only a short walk away from the main attractions of the Old City. The views from the balcony were amazing, especially when we could hear the prayers from the nearby mosques. The staff were helpful and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. The room had air conditioning and a heater, our comfort in any weather. The hostel's authentic structure with old brick walls added to its charm. we had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this place.

    I had a wonderful stay at Jaffa Gate Hostel. the location was fantastic, just a 5-minute walk from Jaffa Gate in the Christian quarter. Being so close to everything in the old city was convenient, and I could even hear the beautiful prayers from the mosques across the old city from the balcony. the staff were incredibly helpful and kind, always offering tips and answering any questions I had. the hostel itself had an authentic structure with old brick walls, making it beautiful and charming. the communal spaces and garden were great for relaxing and there is a lovely view from the roof.

    A great place to stay. Cons: No complaints.

    Great location: the hotel is conveniently located in the heart of the city, close to all the main attractions and within walking distance of public transport. It was easy to explore and get around.

    Room condition: Unfortunately, the rooms were not up to par. They were small and not very clean, which was a bit disappointing.
