I loved my stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, right in the heart of the Old City, close to everything. The rooms were cozy and had a charming balcony overlooking the Jaffa gate. The service was top-notch, especially during the night shift. However, the dining options were a bit limited, and there is no private bathroom in the rooms.
