A very friendly, welcoming, and easy place. Go there! Easy to take the bus to the center of Jerusalem. SUPERB daily breakfasts. English-speaking staff very helpful (such as being able to hail a cab on Shabbat).

MoreThe Little House in Bakah has much in its favour: a charming historic building with an outdoor terrace and decent Italian restaurant in the same building, plenty of free parking, and a beautiful neighbourhood. Wifi worked fine; no tea and coffee in the room but it was available in a central kitchenette. However, it's not cheap for a simple guesthouse (even taking into account the high season) and some more attention to detail would go a long way. Room decor is tired, and the staff were inattentive (no staff were anywhere to be seen at breakfast, and when I returned my key the receptionist barely looked up) - on the other hand, my room was directly behind the reception and I was woken at 7am by staff conversations and cleaning. I couldn't help feeling that a bit more investment, both material and human, could turn this into a really lovely hotel.

Less“urban repose”
Truely pleasant inside and out. Ambient room, courteous family-like staff, lovely garden in need of trimming, and breakfast was somewhat dull. especially recommend a room with a balcony, which is small but allows full enjoyment of Jerusalem evenings.
“Great value”
We stayed here for two nights. The only negative was the black stuff around the bathtub and the run down look of the place. It is a great value for the money given prices for other hotels in Jerusalem which often charge extra for breakfast. Breakfast is included and has...
MoreWe stayed here for two nights. The only negative was the black stuff around the bathtub and the run down look of the place. It is a great value for the money given prices for other hotels in Jerusalem which often charge extra for breakfast. Breakfast is included and has enough selection. Breakfast isn't as huge a buffet as some of the large hotels offer but it offers fruit, pastries, cereal, yogurt, eggs, cheese, etc. Plenty to choose from. Staff were knowledgeable and very helpful. The taxi they arranged for me to take to Tel Aviv was a lot less expensive that the one arranged by the larger hotels and they also offered the less expensive alternatives of buses and trains which didn't work for our schedules but was something other hotels didn't even suggest. They provided detailed directions to walk to many attractions and gave us a discount coupon for some attractions. I would definitely consider staying here again the next time I am in Jerusalem.
