Review of Jerusalem Heritage House

Incredibly cheap for such amazing accommodations. Interesting guests, often quite quiet during the week and busier on weekends

Everyone spoke (at least) English, both staff and guests. Helpful with whatever you need, directions, ideas, etc.

There's space to cook a bit (only dairy or "pareve," no meat products) and a fridge/freezer as well

There's a free challah bake on Thursdays for guests which is a wonderful experience, as is seudat shlishit on Saturday when you get to eat the challot as part of the third meal

Blankets, pillows, sheets, towels provided

Decent showers and general bathroom area, nothing more and nothing less than you'd expect from a hostel. A good bit of mold in there (just to keep in mind for those sensitive to that,) but really no other serious complaints

Note: The Heritage House is closed during the day! You have to be out in the morning and can't be hanging out there during the day until the evening. Worked great for me as there was a load around to see and do, but if your idea of a place to stay is lounging around, this isn't the place

Note: Hostel sleeping accommodations are on the *third* floor of the hostel. There is no way to get up aside from stairs, it's quite easy, but not feasible for people with difficulty climbing stairs in general
