Lonely Planet "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).
Frommer's "The complex boasts excellent views of the Old City and a network of terraces, gardens, and courtyards...it contains rooms with private bathrooms that can be arranged for two to six people." Full review

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.

Frommer's "Opened in 2000, this large, contemporary, eight-story structure represents a new generation of Jerusalem hotels aimed at package and group tours." Full review
Lonely Planet "Done up like an old caravanserai, with stone archways, enormous wood panelled doors, mosaics and faux ruins, this is one chain hotel that has gone to great lengths to blend into the neighbourhood." Full review
Fodor's "The stone arches, lacey latticework, and bronze ornaments in the reception area help create a distinctly regional atmosphere, as do the old flagstones in the skylit atrium and polished floorboards in the comfortable lounge." Full review
