Shani Hotel

Don’t stay here! Worse hotel I have stayed in for many many years.

יומרני מידי לקרוא למבנה הזה מלון. חדרים מיושנים מאוד רעש בחדר כאילו נמצאים ברחוב אין בידוד מרעשים כלל מהרחוב ומהחדרים. המזגן מרעיש. רצפת החדר היא שטיח בלוי שמדיף ריחות לא נעימים כי נראה שהיה בפוג במים. ולא לדבר על כך שבזמן השהייה במלון התמוטט פיגום עם קיר במלון. בקיצור לא להתקרב!! נתקלנו בשירות גרוע וילדים בקבלה שאין להם מושג מה הוא שירות כל המלון היה מלא בנערי תגלית וברור לכם כמה רעש היה בלילה.

problems in the room: bad smell, door not closing in the bathroom, TV not working and carpet not clean. All in all as one goes on the lift the renovation leftovers are shown.

This is a simple hotel, and I had a very pleasant stay for 5 nights. The location is great, centrally located downtown. My room was really nice - large, with plenty of drawer and closet space. The bathroom is great, large with modern fixtures including bathtub and an excellent shower. My queen bed turned out to be 2 twin beds pushed together, made up as 2 twin beds. But it was comfortable and worked for me. I paid for the breakfast, which was only about $10 more per day, and this was the only shortcoming. There was a decent selection but only 3 hot dishes, hard-boiled eggs and fairly dry scrambled eggs each day. The shakshuka was available on 3 days, but it too was usually dry. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall, this was a very good value.

Great location for visiting Old City and Gethsemane. Staff was excellent. Not great for sleeping in in the morning though. Windows did not keep the city noise out at all so we were awakened each day early in the morning by garbage trucks and street work. Wifi was not very strong.
