Chain Gate Hostel

geographical location

Terrible staff! No one answers messages or phone calls, and they don't even respond to the booking service for days. They lie about offering breakfast when, in reality, there isn't any! No breakfast—it’s a scam. They took about 100 euros from me for nothing; I would never recommend staying with these people!

Emplacement, personnel.

Bruit.

Location, friendly staff

Nothing

Аутентичность и оригинальность - это фишка этого хостела. Само расположение прямо перед проходом в мечеть Аль-Акса, каждый раз при приближении к хостелу надо было отвечать солдатам, что вы идёте к хостелу, а не к мечети...с одной стороны даже весело)))

Было не очень чисто, мы так и смогли найти кого-то с 9 до 10 часов, чтобы предоставил нам завтрак который был указан(((

Posizione, gentilezza del personale

It had good ventilation.

Strange individuals, next to a border police station and a lot of armed teenagers. They asked me to leave because of some strange operation there and they didn't refund me, even when they offered it.

So friendly staff, remember their regulars, like me, so close to masjid aqsa, purpose of my visit

Nothing at all I can think off

Good hostal and cheep rate

Good location and comfortable and cheep rate

לא מתאים לכל אחד. גישה רחוקה הליכה רבה אין כלום למעט מיטה לישון

נמצא במקום נגיש! בחור שפגש אותי היה נדיב מאוד

במקום אין נקיון! שרותים לא נסגר! ריח לא טוב! זול מאוד

Персонал гостинний, чудовий, розташування неперевершене

Чистота дуже умовна

personnel accueillant

They were so incredibly kind, so cheap, and right at the center of the old city. It was very fresh inside. They have air conditioning but i didnt need to turn it on

I liked everything!

Very close to the mosque , good value for mony

Very small bathroom,

Allt är perfekt

Zelo simpatičen hostel.

Ni pripomb

O conforto e o café da manhã

É muito longe dos portões principais

I’ve forgot my AirPods by checkout, I did contact them they also replied asking for details of my AirPods I have provided them with what they wanted and offerd to cover all delivery charges after that they didn’t contact me, I have messaged them several time but not an single response, I don’t know if they check there ratings on booking.com still I please you respectfully to reply on my messages.

Breakfast lovely. the wifi connection. the walls, the comfortable and warm bed/blankets and common area. the hot showers was great since it was winter. the owners were accommodative to request for change.

When I checked in the shared facility, the roof was leaking and the bunks were shakey. So asked for another room. the wifi did not work in the rooms. the kitchen was dirty. The long walk with my luggage to get there and out. A bit pricey for the standard of rooms.

The location and the hospitality

Cleanliness

Mohammed, the receptionist at the hotel was helping us right through when we took taxi from airport and then on our way back he helped us so much till we got into the taxi, he sent his nephew to help us walk to the taxi while his other friend Mahmood took all our luggage. The entrance to Aqsa though Chains gate (Bab Al Silsilah) is right adjacent to his hotel.

Très bon établissement bien situé et personnel accueillant

Everything was perfect, excellent host!

Great hosts, excellent location, helpful staff and breakfast, quiet, clean and excellent value for money

A good part of the City. I got a free upgrade to private room because there was no one using it. I would recommend coming here. Clean. Great location.

Inexpensive, very unique setting. Particularly good for Muslim travelers who can visit the mosque.

As a non-Muslim, the location was kind of a dead end deep inside the old city. But it was a very authentic experience and I really enjoyed it.

Świetna lokalizacja, bardzo miły właściciel, zawsze służył pomocą

The owners were so lovely and accommodating. I extended my stay a week. I had to make a change one evening because I ended up in another city unexpectedly one night, and the owners were so flexible and helpful. The location is perfect and so spiritually connected. I hope to return again.

There are not as many hostel options as in some other countries, but often it is just one hostel you connect with most deeply anyway, and this was “the one” for me. The family is so wonderful.

Lokalizacja, personel

Самый близкий хостел в Ал Аксу!

Было чуть чуть холодно

The BEST location for solo, group or family travel. Location is priceless, breakfast everyday, and they treat you like family. Staff is the kindest and the rooms are medieval stone, right next to the Dome of the Rock. You can’t buy that. I’d you want the real Old City experience, this is the place. 10/10.

Everything was fantastic.

共用部屋を予約していましたが、個室の空きがある期間、個室を使わせてくれました。 チェックインも早朝でしたが、対応してくれました。 洗濯、清掃をしているスタッフを毎日見かけました。 スタッフはとても優しくて丁寧でした。 朝食やトイレなどの悪いレビューを見ましたが、食文化と宗教の理解がなかったからではないかと思います。 Hotelのような朝食を期待する場合は、不満を感じるかもしれませんが、Hostel での朝食としては十分だと思います。 トイレに関しては、イスラム圏の習慣で便座を洗うため濡れていますが、拭いて使えば問題ありません。 立地？季節？部屋では少し湿気を感じました。 Google Mapで見つけづらいかもしれませんが、通りにいた警察官に聞いたら教えてくれました。

Amazing location, steps from Western Wall and the Al Aqsa Complex entrance. Beautiful old style building. Good shower.

Hard to find due to security checkpoints, and staff was no help in that regard. Otherwise friendly but unpredictable whether you'd get helpful service or not. No lockers! They have a wall of lockers but no keys and no place to put a padlock. Breakfast was hit or miss. I was given a top bunk which did not have any railing.

The host was very wellcoming

Magnifique chambre tout en pierre, très bon accueil, toute la famille est à disposition, emplacement idéal !

Bardzo fajny pokój było wszystko czego potrzeba bardzo miły właściciel bardzo dobra lokalizacja

Staff were wonderful, kind, upgraded my room without request

Bathroom not clean, no blanket offered, bedroom need cleaning and sheets too , more than 2 hours lost to find the place , muslin quarter makes it hard as you not allowed to go through as a non Muslim. I’m not sure how much change they can actually make to improve as it’s in such an old building.

Accueil parfait, à disposition, bon petit-déjeuner, douche chaude, super emplacement...

Mohamed truly went above and beyond to make our stay exceptionally comfortable and memorable. He generously upgraded our room and ensured seamless access to Al Aqsa Mosque, which meant a great deal to us. He personally prepared our breakfast, treating us to the finest local delicacies, and took great care in assisting with our belongings when we departed. Throughout our stay, he consistently looked out for us with genuine warmth, attentiveness, and professionalism. His hospitality was outstanding and deeply appreciated. We will definitely be back In Sha Allah.

Perfect location to see a beautiful part of the Old city! Kind host, welcoming guests and great breakfast to start the day!

It’s an amazing location, right in the heart of Old Jerusalem next to the Dome of the Rock.

Beautiful property, very friendly staff, delicious breakfast

This is real authentic Jerusalem experience staying here

The toilet seat was broken

Very friendly, nice breakfast, authentic experience

I had a wonderful stay at this hostel. The location is perfect — just a short walk from all the main attractions. The owner is incredibly kind, helpful, and truly hospitable. He even upgraded me to a single room although I had originally booked a bed in a hostel dorm. Breakfast and coffee are included, and the owner was always offering me coffee or tea with a smile. I initially booked for 3 days but ended up extending my stay for 2 more because I enjoyed it so much. It’s honestly the best place you can get for the price you pay. Thank you so much for such warm hospitality - I will come back for sure! Thank you very much for such a great experience!

Nothing

Is a beautifull And nice place.

Excellent location , very hospitable staff (they gave food on arrival and coffee when I came to collect my things after lunch the next day). Slap bang in the Old City, an authentic feel to the property, good shared bathroom and good value for money. They gave me a single room as an upgrade instead of a dormitory room bed which was very kind and let me store my bicycle indoors and looked after it the following day. Not your usual hostel, a limited self-catering kitchen with kettle, microwave and sink and limited communal area (a few seats in the entrance corridor for socialising and a small outdoor covered area with around 4 seats and a perch table). Breakfast was filled sandwich rolls, eggs and coffee/tea which was fine. Great for an overnight start and highly convenient !
