“Friendly, comfortable homestay in central Jerusalem”
It’s very friendly. Dorraine is home most of the time and it’s lovely to talk to her. Breakfast is good and Dorraine makes her own cinnamon tea you can have whenever you want. The location is close to the centre of the city and there are lots of buses 5 minutes walk from the apartment. There is a fridge in your room which is great. And I liked the codes for the apartment so you don’t have to carry around a key.

“A home far away from home”
Dorraines isn’t a Bed & Breakfast, it’s like coming home. I have felt so welcomed and the whole stay was like being with family. Dorraine is a wonderful woman and getting to know her was an absolute privilege! The location is perfect, the rooms are cosy and super comfortable. Do yourself a favour and skip the anonymous hotel room for Dorraine’s and feel the warmth and love that embrace you the second you step into her house.

Dorraine was an incredible host! As someone visiting Israel for the first time, this bed and breakfast was the ideal starting point for exploring Jerusalem. It’s conveniently located near the old city, but it’s also in a peaceful and relaxing area. I highly recommend it!

“Amazing place to stay”
I guess it is the best possible place to stay in Jerusalem. Dorraine is an amazing and very helpful lady, she gave me a lot of tips during my stay in Jerusalem, also she can help with currency exchange. The place is pricy, but worth it 100%. Hope to come back again!

“I will be booking another stay there soon.”
I have been to Jerusalem several times now and I can say that Dorraines Jerusalem Bed & Breakfast is an excellent place to stay. If you don't just want to see Jerusalem, but also want to get to know it, this is the best choice, because you are warmly integrated into the life of Jerusalem and have the opportunity not only to enjoy the family atmosphere, but also to get to know numerous residents of Jerusalem, friends and acquaintances of the family. I will always remember the Shabbat dinners with their excellent food, but also the everyday life with its many conversations. The house itself is very nice, stylishly furnished and centrally located. From the kitchen you have a spectacular view of the city and the beautiful German Colony is within walking distance. The family is extremely hospitable and at the same time very discreet: you can choose how much interaction you want and can always withdraw.

“Family life in Jerusalem”
Dorraine is a very friendly host who can make you feel like home (this is not a regular hotel or apartment!). Go there if you want to taste some real local life (including shabbat supper).

We had an incredible nice time at Dorraine and Berry. It's like you had jewish grandparents, who invite you to stay with them for a while. They have some separeted, very clean room with ac, and nice breakfast. Having a wine and get know them was a lifetime experience! Highly recommended, especially for young backpackers. Thank you Dorraine!

“Fantastic if you are looking for an authentic experience! Far better than staying in a hotel”
Dorraine’s B&B was a home away from home and gave a valuable insight into the Jewish way of life. Dorraine even invited me to a Shabbat dinner (€25) while I was there. She was very kind and leant me a long skirt as I wanted to pay a visit to the ultra orthodox neighbourhood. Also I was very well informed how to get everywhere and arrive at her place.
