We stayed here for a week. The location is great, the owner wonderful and accomodating. Our room was small, but I expected that. Construction noise starts early in the morning, but we were there to see, not to sleep. The tram, bus stop and taxi stand were very close by. the owner helped us find our way and added to... More

I'll give a good rating for the great, central and safe location of the hotel. The other top rating is for the owner who is helpful, friendly and a great host. Our room was quite old, the bathroom was tiny and not for softies or "germophobics" (bring flipflops!). Before booking the hotel figure out what is more important to you:... More

We did not have a good experience. Firstly, we had problems with communication with the owner (we requested a very early check-in at 7AM after a night flight and ended up told that all rooms were full and we can have a coffee or a nap in a park until people start checking out). Then we got a room which... More

The highlights of the hotel were the excellent location, and the friendly service. The hotel was very conveniently located just off Jaffa Road within easy reach of the bus station (a 15 min walk, or 4 stops on the tram) and the old city (10 min walk). The owner was very friendly and hospitable, giving us a city map and... More

I have waited long enough to post about my wonderful experience at the Kaplan Hotel in Jerusalem. My family stayed at the Harmony and for only $60/night i was a 5-minute walk from them, a great location near Zion Square and the City Center train stop. Plenty of good food nearby, expensive and budget. Jaffa Street shopping for clothes, groceries,... More

I had a two night stay at the Kaplan a couple of weeks ago. So many reviews focus so much on the kind owners and not on the property that I was surprised by the facility itself. PRO's -- the location is indeed great just ten minutes from the Old City, in a safe area with shops, cafes, etc. all... More

If you want to spend your tourist money on touring, instead of on your hotel, this is the place to stay. It is in the perfect location, in the middle of the pedestrian boulevard, two buildings off Jaffa Street and Ben Yehuda. The host, Eli Wasserman, is just incredibly helpful. The room is simple and clean, with a fridge, a... More
