Kaplan Hotel

Owners Natan and Eli do their utmost for guests' convenience and comfort. Certainly you can eat your own snack in the little kitchen or make teas or coffees whenever you like. The best feature of this hotel is the location . Go out of the main door and within six strides you are in Zion Square the heart of the City. Guests need to be minimally fit because there are many stairs and no lift!

Basic and small room but clean with an en suite shower and toilet, TV, Aircon and a balcony. No food but loads of places very near including Machneh Yehuda. Close enough to hear the entertainment from Kikar Zion at the end of Ben Yehuda but good enough double glazing to almost completely block it out. Great value for money.

A good stay in the heart of Jaffa street. The hotel owner was very accommodating when we arrived early and we were able to leave our luggage. He provided some helpful tips! A good spot with a balcony view.

This hotel is perfectly located - being only a 2 minute walk from the Jaffa Center station of the Red Line of the Jerusalem Light Rail while also being 10-15 walking minutes away from the Jaffa Gate of the Old City. It's also conveniently surrounded by a variety of restaurants and cafes in the immediate area. We would definitely stay again on our next Jerusalem trip.

This is a decent hotel, you get what you pay for. It is in an excellent location with everything on your doorstep, many cafes, restaurants, tram stop and it is only a 10-15 minute walk to the old city of Jerusalem. The owner is a nice guy, however.......there was one thing that put a black mark on our stay though, noise. I write this review (July 2022). For anyone thinking of making a booking with hotel kaplan it may be a good idea if you confirm with management if they will still be in the middle of hotel renovations. Disappointingly hotel management did not inform us of construction works ongoing in the hotel and we had our stay severely disrupted by noise, very loud hammer drilling and general construction work. Some of this work continued (loudly) late into the evenings, and you could normally hear hammer drilling around 8.30am, one evening at 7pm. On our last night we heard cleaning in the hallway outside our rooms around midnight. The hallways had constant noise, chatter, phonecalls, banging etc. For anyone who likes to go out all day and maybe come in for a nap before going out for dinner, no chance. I write this review so people will not get caught out like we did. Hotels in Jerusalem are not cheap and people deserve the honest the service they pay for.

El hotel está ubicado a 1 km de la puerta de Jaffa, en un lugar céntrico. Las habitaciones son pequeñas, con baño y un lugar para guardar ropa. Nos permitieron guardar nuestro equipaje antes de la hora del check in el día que llegamos y mantenerlo también un rato el día que nos fuimos. El gran problema es el aseo. Insectos, hongos, pelos en el piso, polvo y quizás otras cosas que no vimos. Las fotografías son evidentes. No lo recomiendo a nadie.
