Kaplan Hotel is hands down the dirties hotel I have ever stayed at. I was travelling Israel following a birthright trip and chose to stay here on a budget. The one positive I will say, is that the owner / manager is very helpful in directing you to the hotel...But that's about it. When I entered the room I immediately... More

We've stayed here for 2 nights, but we regret we didn't find this hotel earlier. This hotel has everything what low-budget travellers need, who just want a good and nice place to sleep situated at a good location. This is not a "classic" backpacker hotel, with a crowdy central lobby. The rooms are small, but clean, including the bathroom. Our... More

Stayed here for 2 nights whilst visiting from Jordan.

First, it is in a great location on Jaffa Street at Zion Square. Across the street is Ben Yehuda avenue, a pedestrian street with shops, restaurants, night spots, grocery stores, cafes within two...

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. Upon arrival, one of the owners welcomed us in the little shared kitchen and gave us different hints on the sightseeing in Jerusalem. Both the owners are kind and willing to help you in whatever thing you might need. Eli also offered us a beer, which we did appreciate! This is a... More

It's very conveniently located: about a 7-10 minute walk to the Old City, right on Jaffa Street with pedestrian malls and about 7-10 minutes from Mahane Yehuda. But there is very little between you and the outside. Most of the week this is probably fine except for Saturday night and one other night that I can't remember. There was drumming... More

This is a small hotel situated off the busy Jaffa Road & across from Ben Yehuda Street. A great location but can be noisy at night. It is a basic hotel as reflected in the price, but clean with basic amenities. Eli, one of the owners, made our stay so enjoyable. He offered good advice as to where and when... More
