Reviews of Bethlehem City Hostel

The whole of Palestine is suffering greatly and the fact that Elias continues to run a business as best he can in these circumstances is incredible. He kindly upgraded me from a dorm room to a private room for the same low cost . I was able to come and go as I pleased .

What would be better is if Palestine was able to control its own affairs and tourists could return unimpeded . Justice and human rights for Palestine should not be denied .

The host was amazing and very welcoming. I loved the open shared space that allowed to work but also to cook and hang out. It was a very lovely stay.

Elias, Host was most accommodating person I ever had! That was a pleasure to stay at his place. You have everything you need and it's just couple of steps from the best part of the city.

I didn't like that I had a time to stay only for one night...

Super super place. Very clean towels and sheets. Beautifully clean toilet and large common area. Hostel owner is very informative and kind.

Common area exceptional, host was amazing, loved everything about it, peaceful great energy, would highly recommend it.

Nothing.

The location of the hostel is perfect. The street, inlike many others there, is calm and the balcony offers a great view. It is close to all the sights. But mostly Elias is able to create a feeling of zen with all his plants. He is also the best informationpoint in the whole westbank and he has everything in googlemaps pinpoints, so he makes it very easy. You can ask him anything, which is lovely. Breakfast is very tasty!

Excellent stay, very central, clean place, great value for money, very comfortable

Walking distance from the Church of the Nativity. A large common area with plenty of seats, a balcony with a beautiful view, free tea/coffee. There are cooking and laundry facilities.The staff are very helpful and friendly. The bed is comfortable with an ensuite bathroom.

Free coffee was fresh and amazing, the staff were helpful in helping me get to know the area and giving me things to visit

Elias and his mother are great. The hostel is in a perfect location, not too far from the old city. We stayed in a private room and really enjoyed it, especially the balcony and the AC.

We booked here, as the hotel we usually stay at had overbooked and couldn't fulfil all of our booking. We'd walked past this place on the way to Manger Square, so decided to book here for the night we needed the extra booking. None of us expected much, but were pleasantly surprised. The 'reception room', was light and roomy, great kitchen bar, with free tea and coffee. Rooms were big, clean and had a lovely balcony. The bunk beds all had individual lights and power points and were really comfortable with lovely crisp bedlinen. We were met by Hilda, the owner's mother, who was delightful. We sat with her for a while and she made us popcorn. We also asked if she could do us breakfast the following day, it was 15 NIS and was a bargain as everything was homemade and fresh. Elias the owner was so helpful. We would definitely stay here again, and have decided we preferred it to the other hotel we usually stayed at!

pleasant and helpful hosts, amazing location and overall good value for your money! would absolutely recommend it

Clean, safe, friendly staff, great location

Very spacious room with a private balcony , cosy hostel, ideal location. The host is friendly and I enjoyed my time spent with him and fellow travelers. I met two different guests who repeatedly visit the city and stay in the same location . If I ever come again , I shall too stay at the same location !

A wonderful Hostel! The balcony with view of Bethlehem is just awesome. Everything is very spacious. The dorm room was comfortable and every bed has its own reading light and power socket. The location in Bethlehem is perfect and Bethlehem felt very safe to me. I recommend going there!
