Bayit VeGan

Fodor's Review:

The setting, opposite Mt. Herzl in West Jerusalem, has sweeping views of the Judean Hills, yet is only a 10-minute cab ride (there's a taxi stand next door) or a 20-minute bus ride from downtown. Upgraded from a youth hostel to a guesthouse, this large facility offers two grades of accommodations. The new wing is essentially an economy hotel: 62 spacious, well-laid-out rooms (light wood furnishings; some with tubs, others shower only) that sleep four. The 84 older hostel rooms (some sleep six) are simpler, though still with carpets and en-suite bathrooms. Always ask for a view. Meals are substantial and cheap.
