MoreJerusalem was in a horrid dust-cloud when we stayed, and we wandered into the yard of the Armenian Guest House restaurant more by chance than anything. I’m really glad we did, as it we had the most beautiful, clean chicken shush, hummus and flatbread. I can’t stand the tourist-trap kebab-joints across the road from here, they’re invariably fly ridden and so overcrowded. This Armenian restaurant is sadly underused, and we asked about accommodation, having seen references to it on this site; they have no website ( they really should rectify this ) and we were directed to a door where the very pleasant guy on reception showed us a room. We’ll definitely consider staying here on a future visit.

Ours was Room #2. Excellent access and internet. Comfortable bed and a great shower.

MoreWe have just come back from Jerusalem, staying one night on our way to Jericho and then one night on our return to Tel Aviv. We found all the hotel staff extremely helpful and friendly. The location is good just inside the walls a short walk from the Damascus Gate ( all downhill ) on the Via Dolorosa. Easy to get to the sites in the old city. Our rooms were clean and cool and spacious. The breakfast was very tasty and served in the courtyard to the Armenian Church round the corner. You can also get meals there all day long. The hotel booked taxi for transfer to Jericho. When there was a crisis on our return they were extremely helpful in getting us to the airport on time. We would not hesitate to stay there again.
