"A quiet spot in Sheikh Jarrah, amidst the hectic bustle of east Jerusalem.
Great location, with easy walking distance to the Old City (5 minutes), Salahaddin street (2 minutes), Mamilla Mall (10-15 minutes), Yafo Street (10 minutes). Breakfast is basic but good quality. The courtyard is lovely, and a great place to relax. Wonderful place and I always enjoy my stays here."
