It was ok but we felt we paid a lot for what it was. Fantastic location but the room and bathroom were dated. Housekeeping was good. Reception barely lifted their head to say hello or goodbye.

As long as you are ok with Palestinian flags spray painted on doors around the plaza outside the property you will be happy. As long as Yo don't ming wearing shower slippers in the shower, you will. be happy. As long as you like a firm mattress and a flat pillow, you will be happy. With respect to the hosts, I do feel that they are trying to keep the place clean. With that being said, it is in serious need of updating of furniture paint, etc. It can be noisy from people cleaning and others getting coffee as well as street noise. I will say this, the location is absolutely ideal! I would not recumbent this property to my friends or family for reasons stated above. Your milage may vary.
