St Thomas Home's Guesthouse - Jerusalem

St Thomas is quite hard to find but once you've found it, you will appreciate the location. Less than 10 minutes easy, direct walk to Damascus Gate and the Arab Quarter of the Old City. Close to two bus terminus from which you can get buses or serviic (shared taxis) to Ramallah, Bethlehem, Jericho etc etc. Also close Damascus Gate tram stop: the tram will take you into the Jewish areas and larger city. A short walk to handy facilities like the Education Bookshop (enormous selection of English language books, good coffee and wifi, helpful staff, and a handy postal service). Lots of good, inexpensive shopping in the area (cheaper than within the Old City). There's also several mid-priced restaurant with 2 or 3 minutes walk. The area is safe. So, great location. The hostel itself ... well, look, it has its issues. The wifi and the hot water are unreliable. You may have no problems, or you may have a lot, depending on the room and the time of day. The place is clean but old, so it doesn't really gleam. Breakfast is fine. The staff are really helpful and can do things like arrange transport to the airport when its time to leave.

This accommodation is situated just 100 meters from the Damascus Gate of the Old City of Jerusalem. They offer a very simple but good breakfast. They have maintained the facility quite well and the staff are very friendly, especially Mr George.

After 81 groups in the Holy Land, there is no place to stay like St. Thomas Home. The manager, Mr. Rami Hazzaz is simply the best man in the Holy Land and always by your side for help. Roula at the reception takes care of everyone. The chef Fadi makes fantastic food. The “home feeling” at St. Thomas is like nothing you’ll ever see. Have a good trip to the Holy Land - stay at St. Thomas Home!!

An excellent starting point to explore the old city of Jerusalem. I liked how it was so close to all the attractions and bus/tram etc. The location to the Old City could not be better. The staff was so helpful and smiling and very friendly. Breakfast and lunch was delicious and substantial. Just as you like it in Israel. The sitting area in front of the front door is a true flower garden. Highly recommend.

旧市街で安全な経済的ホステル。非常にローカルでユニークな朝食。設備は古くてベッドも寝心地が良いとは言えないが、ダマスカス門に近く便利。ムスリム街にあるので周りの店やレストラン、にはアルコールが販売されていない。ビール、ワインを飲みたければ近くのHotelJerusalemのバーに行くしか無い。

Ich war hier zwei Tage und habe Aufenthalt hier genossen: sauber, komfortabel, sehr nah zu der Altstadt, kostenlose Parkplätze, sehr nette Mitarbeiter und das ganze für israelische Verhältnisse sehr günstig! Auch Frühstück war orientalisch und sehr gut.

Ottimo per la posizione, vicino alla porta di Damasco, si trova vicinissimo al luoghi sacri, buona colazione, facile da raggiungere dalla stazione dei treni con il tram, camera semplice e spartana, vicino c'è la stazione degli autobus per Betlemme,buon rapporto qualità prezzo .

Le vicariat patriarcal syrien catholique... au font d'une petite ruelle calme et propre. Belles chambres avec plusieurs lits, petit déjeuner correct, belle chapelle et bon accueil... tout y est ! A quelques minutes à pieds du Jardin de la Tombe et de la porte de Damas.
