With four nights to spend in Jerusalem and a tight budget, Franciscaines de Marie Guest House was a great find. Right outside the walls of the old city by the Damascus gate and with free secure parking, I challenge anyone to find better value. Sat-nav didn't recognise Nablus Road as a destination, but friendly Arabs were keen to point us... More

Less than one block from Damascus Gate into the Old City, this is convenient location. It is run by nuns in the Franciscan Order, and they are kind and helpful, particulary Sister Herminia who seems to be in charge. The Arab Christian staff all speak English and are also helpful. I stayed in a room off the garden which included... More

Hard to beat this location. Less than 100 yard to the Damascus Gate, the most important entrance to the Old City and the Holy Sepulchur Basilica. Ca. 300 meters on foot from the tram stop "Damascus Gate" TIPS 1. Call them directly and not via an agent. They speak French and English. They send an email confirmation. 2. The address... More

My husband and I booked here at the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary known as White Sisters,after our 16 days European tour. We have stayed in lots of hotels from Amsterdam ,Switzerland,,Germany,Rome,Venice,france, and this simple, but very clean hostel topped it all! This trip is this April 29-May 5. Our arrival was very much delayed but Sr. Herminia,fmm patiently waited for... More

First of all, I would have to say that the lovely Franciscan Sisters would welcome people of all faiths, or none at all, to their Jerusalem Guest House, located only a stone's throw away from the Damascus Gait. The Guest House is immaculate, and the buffet breakfast is tasty and plentiful. If possible, I'd award a 6th star, due to... More

We spent four nights here in May 2011. Sister Herminia was wonderful. She helped us to get connected with a tour to Nazareth, gave good hints for navigating old city, and woke up at all times of the night (1:15am and 5:50am) to make breakfast to go and send us on our way for a tour and when we had...

I deeply thank the Sisters for making our stay in Jerusalem so nice and agreeable. Rooms are simple but absolutely clean, breakfast is made of very good local products, and the sisters are extremely helpful and of good advice. The convent is located just at the exit of Damascus gate, which is very convenient to visit the old city. Prices... More

We stayed here for 10 nights in June 2010 (17th-28th) and frankly if I became a millionaire tomorrow and decided to return to Jerusalem, I would still stay here rather than take my chances with a hotel or other establishment. I found it hard to book a room in Jerusalem without contacting the place directly. It appeared that some places... More

I stayed at Franciscaines de Marie in Jerusalem in June/2009. The place is really good. They offer good bed and breakfast. The localization is amazing, few metres from the Damascos Gate. The cost is also a positive aspect. The best point is the kindness of the Sisters that run the hospice, specially Sister Herminia. I did has a wonderful time... More
