Reviews of Friends Hostel.Area B

One of the best hostels that I have ever been to :) Incredibly nice owners ("Wallah welcome!"), very beautiful room (I felt like a prince in a movie), good location... I recommend 100%

Friends Hostel is a little oasis in the heart of an intense city. The staff were great and Basheer, the hostel's tour guide, took us on an educational and extensive walk through Hebron. I highly recommend both the hostel and taking a tour.

Bilel is the most incredible host and makes you feel right at home! Hostel is clean, perfectly located and a brilliant place to explore Hebron/Al-Khalil and make new friends. I can’t wait until the day I return!

Incredibile hospitality! Bilal is a lovely host. I felt better than home!

Friends Hostel was a great place to stay! This was my first time staying at a hostel so I didn't know what to expect. Due to the war and the uncertainties in the area, many hotels and BNBs are closed so I decided to check out Friends Hostel. Glad I did! Bilal was an awesome host! Very attentive and ensured everything was taken care of. He even offered to be my guide in Al Khalil / Hebron. He provided the history as well as the unfortunate changes within the Old City that had taken place since the war. The location is great as it sits in the middle of a busy daily open air market. There were a couple of other guests who were there - very friendly and enjoyable to talk with. I was fortunate to have my own room which was very clean and quiet. There is a kitchen and a washer if you need it but I didn't use them as I ate out to help the local economy. I felt very safe in the area and will have no issues returning for a longer stay.

Bilal is available at anytime and the flat is very well located. If you go to Hebron you definetly have to stay there !

Great hostel in a very central location. Bilal the host is super friendly as are all the people of Hebron. Make sure you come to visit.

Nothing not to like.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Friends Hostel and it was an exceptional experience! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a friendly atmosphere. The hostel’s location is perfect, offering easy access to local attractions and transportation. The rooms were cozy, well-maintained, and beautifully decorated, providing a comfortable and relaxing stay. What stood out the most was the cleanliness of the facilities and the attention to detail in every aspect. Bilal the owner is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, always ready to assist with any requests or provide recommendations for exploring the city. The communal areas were vibrant and inviting, great for meeting fellow travelers. Overall, Friends Hostel offers a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and friendly service, making it an ideal choice for any traveler looking for an unforgettable stay

Everything was perfect!

Location is great, right in the millenary old city. For those interested in understanding the division of the town, it's close to the Bab Al Zawiya checkpoint, the most important one. If you'd like to meet young Palestinians, friendly locals like to stop by and talk about the situation.

Instead of a comment, there is an excerpt from my diary: Finally, in a covered bazaar, we find the entrance to our guesthouse, where Akram, the 18-year-old host, warmly welcomes us. In no time we are talking to each other and are joined by two other guests, Mia, a young Danish woman and Ben, a young Australian world traveler. The small terrace a little above the apartment is the ideal place for this. Suddenly a young woman comes out of the neighboring apartment with her child, and later also the grandmother, everyone is super friendly and interested. All in all, a hospitable and uncomplicated arrival, just how we liked it. We are offered tea and move into our room, the drawing room and the best room in the house, which you can tell was once a pretty grand room, but now, like the whole house, is pretty old and run down. Soon we set off to a restaurant recommended by the host, which is located near the end of Hebron's lively main shopping street. The portions, chicken with rice, are huge, the price is the opposite. After organizing the city tour with Akram for the next day, we fall into a deep, wonderful sleep because the window can remain open in the pleasant temperatures.

Very cozy place. A lot of privacy. Has everything you need. Fridge, washing machine and even a nice rooftop terrace

It’s a home in a neighborhood. We enjoyed seeing the area and neighborhood

Little difficult to find but the owner was very helpful and helped our taxi driver by phone to arrive

Very nice hostel in the historic center of Hebron. Bilal was a great host that helped me to solve everythimg in my travel.

The owner is really nice and helpful this is the best hostel I’ve made I will come back next time to Hébron :)

This hostel feels like a home. It is in a perfect central location for visitors to Hebron with the Old city only a few moments walk away. The staff are friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable and there are laundry facilities.

Very kind awesome host

Best location, cozy hostel, clean, silent, nice people you'd love to hang out longer in the evening. Bilal is an incredible host, he was super friendly and extremely welcoming and went out his way to make ourselves feel like at home!
