I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was ideal, situated in the lively Getsemani neighborhood close to the historic walled city, but the rooms had a musty smell due to the lack of windows in some. The service was satisfactory, and the dining options, while offering good vegetarian choices, could be improved. The noisy weekends from the nearby nightclub were a downside, but overall, it offered decent value for money.
I was excited about the location of this hotel as it was in the vibrant Getsemani neighborhood just minutes away from the old walled city. The rooms, however, left much to be desired with a musty smell and no windows, making it uncomfortable to relax. The service was friendly but lacked efficiency in some areas. The dining experience was delightful on the rooftop deck with beautiful views, but the pricing was higher than expected. Overall, a mixed experience.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. While the location in the vibrant Getsemani neighborhood close to the walled city was great, the musty smell in the windowless room with cramped beds and a leaking bathroom was quite bothersome. The service at the reception desk was good, offering airport shuttle and tour assistance, but the dining experience left much to be desired with yesterday's bread served. Despite these downsides, the value for money was reasonable considering the proximity to tourist spots.

The facilities were top-notch, making my overall experience delightful.
The hotel is conveniently located in the Getsemani neighborhood just minutes from the old walled city. The rooms are comfortable, but some may find the shared bathroom arrangement with four cramped beds a bit tight. The service is attentive, and the location is perfect for exploring the nearby bars and attractions. However, the dining experience could be improved with fresher options, and the facilities are basic but functional.
