Jerusalem, Israel Hotel Rooms at the Independent

This hotel is well located and comportable especcialy to students and young travelers

Wonderful and helpful staff (I didn't give 5 stars because a few staff were smoking close to the dining area). Breakfast was very delicious and had a wide variety to choose from. The hotel sign was hard to find. I arrived there in the evening and couldn't see the sign. I spent about 30 minutes in a car looking for that sign. My friend called the hotel trying to get the direction. The hotel should have done a better job. Other than that, it was a really nice and friendly hotel. Good location too - just a 7 minute walk to the Old City.

It was a very relaxed atmosphere, nice relaxed and very helpful staff, walking distance to Old Town, Walking distance to restaurants and a very nice shopping mall

This was our first visit to Jerusalem from the US and first experience with selecting lodging online. We (husband/wife/teenage daughter) had a wonderful experience at House 57 and would gladly return! Nir made us feel at home from his efforts to answer our questions well before our arrival in Israel, to accommodating our arrival that ended up being earlier than what I told him (not knowing how much time the earlier parts of our journey would really take), to spending time chatting with us over a delightful breakfast -- we felt very much at home. Being totally new to getting around Jerusalem (Israel for that matter), Nir also gave us wonderful advice for getting in and out of the city. We ended up riding the new train from Ammunition Hill, a short distance, either walking or by short drive from House 57. All-in-all, our House 57 stay helped make our Jerusalem experience most memorable.

Small, comfortable boutique hotel in a fabulous location!! Super friendly/helpful staff. About a five-ten minute walk to the Old City (with Mamilla Mall on the way). One block from Ben Yehuda, and about three blocks from a light rail stop on Yaffo Street. Reasonable walking distance to many of the attractions of the city. Many restaurants, shops, grocery stores nearby. Room was small, but we didn't care because we didn't spend much time in the hotel (out and about all day sightseeing) and are happy to trade room size for an unbeatable location. The bed (double) seemed a little small (length-wise) and neither my husband nor I are tall. We would definitely stay here again the next time we visit Jerusalem.

Very conveniently located hotel near the old town. it takes about 15 minutes to reach one of the gates of the old town ( Jaffa gate). The rooms are basic but clean and comfortable.There is free wifi in each room. It is a good place to stay if someone whats to do tours of Israel. The hotel does many great tours.The also offer a shuttle service to the airport which is reasonable priced. If I came back to Israel I would stay at this place again.

Excellent accommodations, staff and service. Would definitely stay there again.

We had a very pleasant stay here. We really appreciated the quiet neighborhood. It was so pleasant to sit out on the balcony and enjoy the shade of all the trees in the area. The room was very clean. Parking was on the street, but we never had trouble finding a spot.
