About
Palm Guest House - Jerusalem
Palm Guest House is a no-frills hostel-style property on Haneviim Street in Jerusalem's East Jerusalem district. The location is the standout feature: a roughly 16-minute walk from Gethsemane Garden, and close to the Old City walls, the Damascus Gate, and public transport links including the light railway and bus station. Guests consistently describe the position as magnificent or perfect, making it a practical base for exploring the city on foot.
The rooms are simple and functional, ranging from a single bed in a mixed dormitory to private single, double, and triple rooms. Several include private bathrooms with showers or bathtubs, some have air conditioning, and a few open onto a terrace. Onsite facilities include a currency exchange, an ATM, a laundry service, and help with tours and tickets. Parking is available nearby, and cots can be provided for families. This is an honest, unpretentious stay at a very competitive price, with guests repeatedly praising the helpfulness of the staff.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Central location near the Old City — Guests repeatedly single out the position as the highlight — a short walk from Jerusalem's Old Town, the Damascus Gate, the light railway station, and the bus station.

- Great value for money — Rooms start from just £16 per night, and guests frequently note the cheap price relative to the size, facilities, and location.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Overall guest rating is below the city average — The property's rating of 6.7 out of 10 sits well below Jerusalem's average of 8.2, and several reviews note that the rooms are basic and the facilities simple.
- Smoking policy conflicts with 'no smoking on site' — While the property lists 'No smoking on site' in its policies, one guest review refers to it as a 'smoking hotel', which suggests enforcement may be inconsistent or that smoking occurs in some areas.
- Limited in-room amenities — The dormitory room has no listed amenities, and even private rooms only include a shower and bathtub in most cases. Guests should come prepared for a no-frills stay.
- Check-out time may be early for some — Check-out is at 11:00, which is standard for budget properties but may feel rushed for guests wanting to make the most of their last morning.
