Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Some areas were unfinished during recent stays — A guest noted that certain facilities were still under construction during their visit, though they felt comfortable and safe overall.
  • Reception limited to 14:00–23:00 for check-in — If you're arriving late at night, the check-in window closes at 23:00, which may be tight for some travel schedules.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accommodate pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Not the highest overall rating in the area — With a 7.6/10 from 378 reviews, it sits below the Jerusalem average of 8.2, so expectations should be managed.
