Auberge Heritage House
Les Juifs à la recherche de la voie spirituelle peuvent se sentir à leur aise dans l’auberge dirigée par l’organisation Aish HaTorah qui a pour but d’enseigner la mode de vie traditionnel aux jeunes et de les encourager à le suivre. Grâce à sa localisation, au coeur du quartier juif de la Vieille ville, la promenade vers le Mur occidental (ou HaKotel) ne vous prendra que 5 minutes. Jusqu’à aujourd’hui cette auberge a accueilli plus de 25 000 hôtes. Le tarif s’élève à 7$ la nuit seulement.
Les dortoirs sont séparés — pour les hommes dans la rue Or HaChaim (voir la carte) et le dortoir pour les femmes se trouve dans la rue HaMalach.

PlusThe management at the time was psychotic, manipulative, intimidating, bullying, and abusive. There’s only air conditioning when the temperamental management feels like it. You need to beg or manipulate him to be able to wash your clothes. You’re not allowed to ask questions. The WiFi is when he wants. The place is filled with mold, reeks, ceiling cracking, trash everywhere, broken lights, and the janitor Jeremiah lays about and refuses to work, tells us to stop asking questions and to stop b*tching. When we confront the manager Ben Packer about this he tells us to not piss off Jeremiah, the janitor. The entire stay was unpleasant and he kicked us out for asking about laundry. He told us to get the f*ck out.

PlusTo sleep over, to meet some cool people, or just to stop by - if you are in Jerusalem I highly recommend stopping by the Heritage House. Requirements: a sense of humor, an ability not to take yourself too seriously, and the ability to not get easily offended. The guys are absolutely great. They have amazing activities. They talk about real controversial politics. If you can't deal with strong opinions you might have a hard time. Everyone is truly nice though and they will take care of you. Someone might/probably will make fun of you at some point but it's part of the Israeli experience.

PlusAside from good accommodations, this hostel is located in the heart of the Jewish Quarter of the Old City. The host, Rabbi Ben Packer, is glad to recommend travel activities, and even provide hosts for meals if need be. The places is the most "full-service" hostel I have ever been to and I plan on returning. As to the prior poster who claimed that Rabbi Packer "accosted and abused" him, I must say that I and my friends were treated like family. Everyone who I have sent here has had a great experience.
