The hotel had lovely rooms with a beautiful historic feel, offering enough space, firm beds, and daily towel changes. However, the AC had some issues, either not cooling or making loud noises like a tractor. The rooms were clean and spacious, overall a comfortable stay.

The location was perfect, right at the heart of Jerusalem's old city, making exploring easy and enjoyable. The dining experience was mixed, as the offerings were basic but plentiful with Middle Eastern selections.
Staying at this hotel was like stepping into a traditional Palestinian home with fabulous stone walls and antique furniture, providing a comfortable and homey atmosphere. While the rooms were charming, the value for money aspect slightly lacked due to not having modern enough facilities.
