Perfect location, right in the middle of the old centre. Beautiful building like I have never seen before. Nice rooms and a great view from the roof. Also super nice people who work there! They were always very helpful.

My girlfriend and I stayed here for 3 nights in a double room near the top. If you are not a religious fundamentalist looking for Jesus in the Old City the morning breakfast conversations are a bit loud, basically we could hear all the kitchen conversations in our bedroom which was a bit annoying. Its small and it lacked privacy,... More

There are limited places to accomodate in old city. If you are in low budget Citadel would be a great choose. Very close to all places in old city , Temple mount and Mount of olive. Close to the tram line. A bit noisy as people keeps talking in the kitchen whole day and night. Beds are not so clean... More

I stayed a night in a dorm here. I would have stayed much longer because the place has a lot of advantages, but the dorm is so crammed full of beds that is resembles a refugee camp. I surprised it's even legal in Israel. No shelves, no surfaces, no hooks to hangs things off, we were 8 people in a... More

Location is excellent but staff are rude and the beds are riddled with bed bugs. I have been left with massive bites, I also heard other customers complaining about having bed bugs in their rooms also. The rooms themselves are freezing and the bathrooms are tiny. Not worth even a tenth of what they charge. I would not recommend this... More

Very Clean, Hot showers, comfortable clean beds, WONDERFUL STAFF friendly and helpful, they took good care of us. The Citadel is close to everywhere you need to be. Don't let any negative review about this place stop you from staying there. They're continuously cleaning and if you need anything all you have to do is ask. We stayed 2 weeks... More
