New Palm Guest House – Hotel & Hostel

I stayed in this hotel a couple of days, the room had a good size, basic but enough for someone that just need a bed to sleep after walking the old city that is just a few meters away from the hotel, the personnel was very kind and very helpful, there was a shared kitchen that i was able to use to warm some food at night, there are some restaurants around the area, if you want to catch a bus to Bethlehem you will find the Bus station in front of the hotel so is a good location, The Wifi connection had a very good signal and speed, there is an area outside the room that you can sit and relax, the only issue was the water in the room that was not warm but i was able to use another empty room so no issue with that, the hotel was under renovation when i was there. if i return to Jerusalem i would like to stay here.

I needed a place to stay for one night, So walked into this Hostel booked a room which was over priced I later realised when checking booking.com in the same day. I must mention when booking this hostel come with low expectations and you'll be fine. Found the staff ok but also rude will offer advice but not up for chit chat which I often do as I'm a solo traveler. The whole place had a general feel of this theme nobody wanted to talk stayed in my room with a broken light and no windows on Christmas Day was really depressing. Furthermore when taking a shower my room got slightly flooded as there is nothing to prevent the water escaping the shower. check my pics. Vince was the only good thing about this place The American. Nice guy. The locations good.
