Great location. People are very kind and helpful. Breakfast included. Lovely place to relax after a long day and night out. I highly recommend this place. You will find bars, restaurants, ice cream and coffee shops at your door step.
Cinema Hostel
A Cinematic Accommodation Experience
Cinema Hostel Jerusalem is the place where life and fiction meet in a themed accommodation solution created by cinema-lovers, especially for young, like-minded people from all around the world. The location isn’t accidental – the mythical Orion Cinema at Jerusalem.
This iconic place was a major cultural center during the 40s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s, broadcasting a large variety of both commercial and independent movies throughout this time. This building is classic stone creation in Jerusalem style, complete with dome structure and unique interior, drawing inspiration from the Radio City Music Hall. After its days of glory, the unique Orion cinema was left unattended for over 25, until the two young creators of the hostel took over.
The hostel offers both dormitory and private rooms. Every space is themed on a different film. The place opened as a hostel in 2018 after extensive renovations and to create an affordable home for all guests of the city.
Additionally, the place arranges tours and activities, so no one is never alone and bored!
Top Location and a Variety of Activities
The hostel invites you to the John Smith cocktail bar, designed in the style of the 20’s, offering a unique experience in the nightlife of Jerusalem. Moreover, the cinema is all over the place, along with a dream-like 20% discount on the fabulous drinks and food for the guests.
The hostel also has a terrace that overlooks Ben-Yehuda pedestrian street and can be an excellent spot will host all kind of events in the summer.

“Fab hostel”
Terrific hostel! Modern, stylish, colourful, comfortable, with generally nice staff (especially the lovely young lady who looks like a brunette Emma Stone!) and comfortable rooms. They have a bar attached and movie nights, and as it was a Friday there was a large Shabbat dinner for the guests, which I didn’t participate in but...
MoreTerrific hostel! Modern, stylish, colourful, comfortable, with generally nice staff (especially the lovely young lady who looks like a brunette Emma Stone!) and comfortable rooms. They have a bar attached and movie nights, and as it was a Friday there was a large Shabbat dinner for the guests, which I didn’t participate in but it looked like fun and not too expensive! The beds were comfortable with USB ports and lights, and the shower and toilet in the dorm modern and generally well kept. The WiFi was good and the location great, very central. The only downside I would say is the lack of bathroom facilities other than the one loo, sink and shower in the up-to-12-bed dorms. There is one toilet downstairs at reception but it’s far and was often kinda gross. Other than that, a perfect place! Highly recommended
Less“Best hostel in Jerusalem! ”
