HOTEL SCOOP

"Although the hotel is situated on a main artery of West Jerusalem’s busiest pedestrian mall, the lack of vehicular traffic in its vicinity means it is insulated from external noise. The cozy warmth of the area adjacent to the entrance and opposite the reception desk is accentuated by a row of wooden rocking chairs, part of an overall decor recalling the early 20th century. The lobby is made even more inviting by its plethora of coffee table books and available daily English-language newspapers."
