MoreI queried about rooms at this guest house whilst waiting for my flights to be confirmed. I messaged via email and called only to be shouted at by the guy who answered and told me write an email. I then wrote an email and asked for the total price as they wanted the money to reserve the room which I did not have a problem with. However they threatened me saying if you don't book by today we will cancel your booking! I am the customer and they have no regard for how they speak to you! 1 hour later they sent me another email saying reservation cancelled! This is appalling behaviour. A customer is entitled to query the price before booking and I could not book until I had my flight confirmation. When I did they told me book or else! Very bad customer service and they do not treat guests write for a so called guest house who is supposed to be attached to a Catholic church appauling treatment! Do yourselves a favour and do not book with these bullies. There are better places to book in Jerusalem.

Jerusalem 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...
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.
