"This three-story, modern building has views of the Old City walls... views from the roof are spectacular, and the hotel plans to develop the roof as a place for guests to visit." Full review

"Part hotel, part community centre and part social hall, Beit Shmuel can get pretty busy." Full review

Standard rooms are no-frills affairs that feel like college dorms (ask for one facing the Old City).

The rooms are worn from heavy use. But we still recommend Bet Schmuel for all the cultural perks it offers. Visitors of all faiths and ages are welcome.
