About

Abraham Hostel Jerusalem

Abraham Hostel Jerusalem sits on Hanevi'Im Street at Davidka Square, in the thick of the city. It runs as a 2-star hostel with a proper bar, a lounge, and a game room, and puts you within a 25-minute walk of Ecce Homo and the Old City's edges. The property is smoke-free and offers Wi-Fi throughout.

Rooms run from 4- and 6-bed dorms (female, male, and mixed) to Economy double/twin rooms, all with city views, heating, and air conditioning. Downstairs you have a 24-hour reception, a business corner, and a children's play area — plus bicycle rental if you want to explore beyond the centre.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Central and walkable — Right on Hanevi'Im Street at Davidka Square, within a 25-minute walk of Ecce Homo and close to the Old City, Jaffa Street, and transport links.
  • Social atmosphere with activities — A bar, lounge, game room, and organised tours create a lively, easy-going vibe that guests repeatedly call out as a highlight.
  • Friendly, helpful staff — From late-night check-ins to tour planning and local tips, the team gets consistent credit for being approachable and genuinely useful.
  • Good value for money — With breakfast included, a central address, and clean rooms, guests rate it as a strong deal for the price class.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Dorm-style shared rooms — The majority of rooms are 4- or 6-bed dorms with bunk beds, so if you want a private space, the only option is the Economy double/twin.
  • Mixed review consistency — While many guests rave, a few reviews are more lukewarm — one found the experience simply "nice" and another gave a low score based on location proximity to Davidka Square and Jaffo Street, which some may find busy.
  • Only basic private rooms — The Economy double/twin is the only non-dorm option, and it comes with just two single beds — no double bed, and no extra amenities beyond the standard ones.

“Central, a solid breakfast spread, good organised activities, daily towel changes and cleaning, and staff who were happy to help.”

“The location, the price, and the attitude of the staff. There's a 24-hour shop right nearby.”

“The vibe and the location stood out.”

8.4Verified guest

“A brilliant stay. The hostel had real cultural substance, with boards in the room pointing to extra blankets and radiators. Atmosphere and activities were top tier, especially the range of tours they run, including the Gaza tour. Staff were warm and easy to talk to, always ready to assist. It's central and you can walk to the Old City and the main bus/train station. I'd strongly recommend it for the energy and the cultural depth.”
