Nice area of townBudget-friendly
ANice area of town. Older hostel. Still works for the budget. Thanks for the stay
Rikihiro個室の部屋の中は比較的綺麗なのですが、シャワールームとトイレが最悪レベルです。また、部屋の外のカーペットが本当に汚く、いつ大量のダニが発生してもおかしくないと思います。
ホステルの下の階には、大量のインド人移民が住み着いているようで、屋上では妙な料理をしたり、肉体労働をしてるような感じでした。彼らの大量のスリッパが放置されており、時折ドアが開いており、覗き込むとほんとに汚い生…

Questions about Cinema Hostel Jerusalem
What time is check-in and check-out at Cinema Hostel Jerusalem?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Cinema Hostel Jerusalem allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Cinema Hostel Jerusalem?
Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.
Is breakfast included at Cinema Hostel Jerusalem?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Cinema Hostel Jerusalem have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Cinema Hostel Jerusalem have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Cinema Hostel Jerusalem?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
