Central Boutique Hotel

I was very unlucky with my first room (noisy, unpleasant smell) but the staff was very helpful and upgraded me to a much better room.

Die Rezeption befindet sich in dem Kiosk, was uns aber nicht gestört hat. Die waren alle nett. Zimmer sind modern eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Kann nur weiterempfehlen.

Das „Hotel“ ist sehr klein und hat nur 5 Zimmer. Die Recepzion ist ein Shop, welcher 24 Stunden geöffnet ist. Die Shopmitarbeiter sprechen kaum englisch. Das Zimmer war eher klein aber modern eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Die Lage ist gut, sehr zentral und es hat viele kleine Cafés/Restaurants/Bars gleich in der Nähe. Zum Jaffator braucht man ca. 10 Minuten. Die Touranbieter haben ein Problem beim Abholen direkt vom Hotel, da die Strasse für die Busse zu eng ist. Am besten gleich Treffpunkt beim Leandro Boutique Hotel (3 Gehminuten) vereinbaren.

The folks were very helpful. Very central location.. It was really cold weather... The good news about that is that the local bar was quiet; the bad news about that was that the hotel could not offer a heater that adequately heated the room although they did try mightily. Very tiny room and GREAT shower and exceptionally clean.

Absolutely great place to stay if you are using this as a place to sleep and not as a resort. The room we had was quiet small on the street level. Just the basics: clean room, double bed, cable TV, nice shower and small refrigerator. The hotel seems to be part of a 24/7 convenience store in the front since you check in there. This is nice if you want a snack or you happen to be there on the Sabbath when a lot of places are closed. The location is fabulous, about 50 steps off of Jaffa street, the main street that is closed to cars. Only the L1 line street cars (trains) are allowed. You are literally a 10 minute walk to the old city. The train stop (Central) is 5 blocks away if you want to walk a little less. Landing in Tel Aviv, we took the high speed train to the main station in Jerusalem, walked outside, purchased a ticket in the machine and boarded the L1 train. Four stops later, we were at the Central stop, exited, walked down the little hill about 5 blocks and looked down a street to the left and saw the Super Market sign. We went into the market, checked in, walked a few steps around the corner to the entrance and that was it. We were there three nights. Since we were leaving on Saturday (Sabbath), the manager told us to stop in on Friday at the market and he would schedule a local shuttle bus ($17) to the airport since public transportation is shut down. Anyway, a good place to stay in a GREAT location. And a lot of restaurants on this street were open on the Sabbath!

Terrible they offer the worst service

I was only in town for a day, and this place was close to everything I wanted. The market attached to the Hotel is open 24/7, and there is a cafe that is also open every day immediately next to that. The rooms had everything I needed for a pleasant stay, and were a few minutes walk to the old city. Would definitely stay again.

This in a perfect location just outside the old city. 7 minute walk to the famous Jaffa Gate (entrance to the old city). It’s a basic clean room with a comfortable queen bed. I would definitely stay here again.

The one great thing was the location. Walking distance to the Old City and minutes to many restaurants. The bad: I didn't so much mind having a window that had no view, but I had to keep the window closed because of the noise. A literally next door night club played music till the wee hours of the morning and brought un-welcomed bass tones into my room. I was so tempted to just walk out of my reservation and find another hotel, but I stuck it out because I was checking out the next day. I was only there 2 nights; the first night was manageable because I checked in very late, but the 2nd night was painful. The room also had a musty smell. I know it's an old building, but it took too long for the water to heat up and I hated wasting the water just waiting for it to warm up, so I just took a cool shower. I know I will be back in Israel, but I would never stay here again.

Location was great, but street too narrow for tour buses to pick us up directly from hotel. Loved the quaintness of the room & that it offered opportunities to meet locals. Close to great restaurants and footsteps from grocery market, making it very convenient. Also, walking distance to Damascus Gate, which we really liked, also near pickup hotel location where tour buses picked us up. Wish it had had bathtub and microwave. Front desk service and daily housekeeping was excellent.
