Dem Hotel Jerusalem

The good: In a city with incredibly high hotel and Air BnB prices this was a great value. The staff was helpful and courteous, rooms were clean, there was a small kitchenette and good water pressure and a comfortable bed. There is a coffee machine and cold drinking water available. It is right on the downtown shopping strip so it is near tons of cafes for breakfast, bars, shops, restaurants, etc. for going out at night. It is an easy walk to both the food market and the old city. The obvious: It can be loud outside. If you are a light sleeper you are going to have trouble here though there is a room in the back which is not on the main strip. It's not a full-service hotel in that there is not someone there 24/7, and rooms get cleaned once a week though you can always get clean sheets and towels, etc. [Due to corona, I actually like this arrangement and didn't want someone in my room every day] The bad: Rooms can be a bit small. For one person they are adequate - 2 can be tight. There is one bigger room that would be quite comfortable for 2 plus one. And again, it can be loud. Easy to improve: There should be a "no coffee from 11PM-7AM sign" by the coffee machine. They should have earplugs to give out like some of the nearby hostels do. Verdict: For those who are traveling on a budget, or who want to spend their money on experiences and not hotels, or just want to be in the middle of it all, this is a good option.
