Tzefania Hotel

Small rooms, but every thing else was amazing

During our recent visit to Jerusalem we were delighted to stay at Tzefania Hotel. We learned that Tzefania is one of the first hotels that opened in Jerusalem and it’s still run by members of the same family. We really enjoyed our comfortable room and the charming small garden, which provided a lovely space to relax and unwind. The hotel's unique artistic touches and eclectic style added to the overall ambiance and made our stay even more enjoyable. The staff were always very kind and happy to answer our questions. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

The staff was wonderfully warm and helpful. The historic building has such amazing character and the furnishings and the artifacts were really appreciated. The staff were very helpful with regard to buses to take and where to get things as well as local information. Our room and all the extras were so appreciated. Water hot all the time, beds very comfortable. We had an iron, microwave, fridge, tea, milk, kettle and basic crockery. Tea and coffee and cookies were available 24 hours in the reception area. We were able to use the washer and dryer free of charge. Such a lovely place; we had a wonderful time. Tsefania is in the heart of Geula area but the hotel was a quiet haven. Thanks to Michal, Esther, Tamar, Asaf and everybody whose name we didn't get. We'll be back!

Clean but decrepit old world style and i prefer modern.

no one was there at the reception no one answered the phone waited till 1;30 middle of the night till i found a diffrent hotel to stay

First -- when you get to what seems to be the right address, look for the green door and push inwards (ignore the handle that looks like you should pull it open). This is essentially a rooming house in the religious Geula neighborhood, with basic and very comfortable amenities and touches of artistic flair in all of the public rooms. I loved my stay. The staff were tremendously friendly and accommodating, the beds comfortable and the furniture was homey albeit lived-in. Shower water pressure was great, and even on the ground floor the outside noise was muted. One night they held a string quartet concert with philharmonic members. Highly recommended for a great value stay for unfussy guests. If you prefer a generic pricey midtown hotel experience, probably seek elsewhere. But if you want to stay in a place that has character, great access to public transportation, and caring staff, choose Tsefaniya. But keep Google Maps handy on your phone to get around!
