It is a hostel and the service is very basic, but the rooms are very affordable and you have everything you need. Staying in a private room is the best and people are very considerate and friendly at this hostel.

Quirky place with good atmosphere. Cabins were a bit dusty and some communal areas could do with a deep clean. But wouldn't put me off staying there given the price.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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活をしているのが目に入ってきます。 外観はマクドナルドのある比較的綺麗なビルなのですが、中はカオス状態です。トイレは紙がなく、全く掃除がされていない状況です。シャワーブースも、ドアが壊れており、水が出ないブースもありました。かろうじて見つけたブースは、お湯はちゃんと出ました。 ただ、個室の中はシーツやタオルがきれいでしたので、その点は評価できます。立地が良く、値段が安いそれだけが取れたと思います。

Jerusalem was quite different this year from previous years. I was at several hostels, it was a rule rather than the exception that there was nobody at the reception when I tried to check in. At this one I had to sneak in and wait for about an hour before anyone came. The place didn't feel like a hostel anymore. There were very few tourists or travelers; the hostel was occupied by guest workers from India, none of them spoke English or Hebrew.

Cinema Hostel is unique, one of a kind. I came to rest but if you lije night life, the bar and music is very popular. Nicest big outdoor balcony i have ever seen. I like the private capsule rooms, they seem a bit bigger than other hostels. Its a memorable exoerience to stay here .

value for money with private ensuite in a hostel

friendly staff, modern and lively vibe and cozy common area. Room a bit tiny but fair enough for backpackers. The only downside is the sound proofing need to take caution. There's a asian convenience store just opposite the hostel!

Clean and Convenient

Our experience was the Cinema Hostel was friendly, fun and staffed with hard working employees and volunteers. Common toilets and showers were clean, and we were offered cleaning service in our room. Breakfast had several choices and coffee is free 24 hours per day. Wash your own dishes, clean up after yourself. The women at reception were helpful with suggestions and advice. Plenty of good food for take out or groceries nearby and a pleasant terrace to enjoy it. Fridge available for guests but crowded. Rav-Kav card was available at the front desk for ( I think) 5 pounds. Load it at the bus/light rail stops. So convenient! Thank you.
