Myrtle the Turtle Guesthouse

Nice place, beautiful view, convenient location in heart of old Tzfat. This was my second time staying there, great experience each time.

Having to carry my suitcases up all those stairs. But it was worth it.

The room was comfortable with plenty of space and working AC and good shower. Also, small kitchenette in room, for required. Laurie, the owner was incredibly helpful and accommodating with my needs and assistance directing me to sites in town. She gave me a free map that was very helpful too. Would not hesitate to stay again!

Finding the location is somewhat challenging as there are many steps and some turns, as expected when staying in then”0ld City”. I called Laurie and she directed, met me and lead me to the location. Afterwards, was able to find my way both to town sites and her location.

בעלת הבית מאד חביבה הסכימה שנאחר לצאת מהחדר נתנה הסבר על הסביבה והאטרקציות מסביב.

Our room at Myrtle the Turtle was so cute and comfy! We slept so well in the beds, the location is perfect, and Laurie was so helpful with fun things to do. Thank you for a lovely Shabbat in Tzfat!

Beautiful location in the heart of the Artist's Quarter.

Although the owner provided detailed directions, it was still difficult to find. However, the owner was available on the phone to help me find it when I got lost. If possible, it might be a good idea for the owner to consider putting in more visible signs to identify and/or guide guests to the location. Parking is down the hill and you have to climb a lot of steps to get to the place, which I considered well worth the effort, considering the prime location, but this would not be an ideal place for elderly or disabled guests who have trouble with steps.

Awesome rooms. Awesome helpful hostess. Clean and comfy place.

Great location, hospitable hostess, good internet, plenty of hot water for showering. I'll definitely stay here again when I come on business.

Laurie is a wonderful host. She thinks of everything a guest could need. She is personable, and her walking directions to the house are super clear.

The bathroom faucet tends to splash onto the floor. We just put a towel down there and all was good.

Laurie was very helpful explaining where what is. The room was spacious and the beds were very comfortable. We come back to Myrtle the Turtle anytime.

warm and welcoming hosts (Laurie and her friend Susan), good location in Artists’ Quarters. lovely view from upstairs.

I would have liked actual silverware instead of cheap plastic utensils as well as a few dishes. A sign outside also would make it easier to find.

Lovely host and very responsive. She warned us about possible noise due to the prayers for the high holidays at night as we came right before Rosh Hashana, but in fact, the noise was not bad at all. Tel Aviv at any time of the year is much noisier. The room was spacious with two beds and even a pullout sofa, which we did not use as we were only two. Small bathroom and kitchenette with everything you need, everything clean. Lovely pets (cat and dog) and turtles in the garden were the highlights as well as the amazing location of the guesthouse. And as a bonus, no hassle with storing our luggage after checkout as we were leaving in the afternoon and checkout was at 11 am.

nothing

hostle is great very nice

Tzafat is a magicalplace and location of our place is the best - in the artist quarter and just minutes walk to the old city. Also a short walk to the more modern parts of Tzafat with cafes, restaurants etc. We had an upstairs unit that had a terrace with a spectacular view. Lori totally helped us arrange transportation when our daughter who is serving as a Lone Soldier in the IDF was unexpectedly required to return to her base.

The pillow on the sofa bed was too soft for me, but it was only for 1 night so I never asked for another - I'm sure Lori would have figured something out if I had.
