“Excellent”
The whole of Palestine is suffering greatly and the fact that Elias continues to run a business as best he can in these circumstances is incredible. He kindly upgraded me from a dorm room to a private room for the same low cost . I was able to come and go as I pleased .

“local, thoughtful, and community focused”
The host was amazing and very welcoming. I loved the open shared space that allowed to work but also to cook and hang out. It was a very lovely stay.

The location of the hostel is perfect. The street, inlike many others there, is calm and the balcony offers a great view. It is close to all the sights. But mostly Elias is able to create a feeling of zen with all his plants. He is also the best informationpoint in the whole westbank and he has everything in googlemaps pinpoints, so he makes it very easy. You can ask him anything, which is lovely. Breakfast is very tasty!

Elias and his mother are great. The hostel is in a perfect location, not too far from the old city. We stayed in a private room and really enjoyed it, especially the balcony and the AC.

“Great location, great place to stay, really friendly welcome.”
We booked here, as the hotel we usually stay at had overbooked and couldn't fulfil all of our booking. We'd walked past this place on the way to Manger Square, so decided to book here for the night we needed the extra booking. None of us expected much, but were pleasantly surprised. The 'reception room', was light and roomy, great kitchen bar, with free tea and coffee. Rooms were big, clean and had a lovely balcony. The bunk beds all had individual lights and power points and were really comfortable with lovely crisp bedlinen. We were met by Hilda, the owner's mother, who was delightful. We sat with her for a while and she made us popcorn. We also asked if she could do us breakfast the following day, it was 15 NIS and was a bargain as everything was homemade and fresh. Elias the owner was so helpful. We would definitely stay here again, and have decided we preferred it to the other hotel we usually stayed at!

“Huge place that will feel like a home”
The owner is a great guy that helps you with everything you need and will take you on a free walking tour if you like. He will make this place feel like your home. The rooms are really big and everything you need will be taken care of. Also: the common room is nice and huge and you can chill, eat, study or work there if necessary.

Very spacious room with a private balcony , cosy hostel, ideal location. The host is friendly and I enjoyed my time spent with him and fellow travelers. I met two different guests who repeatedly visit the city and stay in the same location . If I ever come again , I shall too stay at the same location !

A wonderful Hostel! The balcony with view of Bethlehem is just awesome. Everything is very spacious. The dorm room was comfortable and every bed has its own reading light and power socket. The location in Bethlehem is perfect and Bethlehem felt very safe to me. I recommend going there!
