Travelers on a budget can still sleep well in Jerusalem. The city offers a handful of highly-rated cheap hotels that put you within walking distance of the Old City's most important landmarks. Expect to spend around $50-$120 per night for a clean, private room with essential amenities like free WiFi, air conditioning, and a solid breakfast. The Old City district is the best location for sightseers, while properties near the Damascus Gate or Jaffa Gate provide easy access to the light rail and free parking.
Three standout options are the Holy Land Hotel, Hashimi Hotel Old City Jerusalem, and Austrian Pilgrim Hospice. Holy Land Hotel offers free parking, two restaurants, and views of the Old City walls. Hashimi Hotel sits in the heart of the Old City with a rooftop terrace overlooking Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock. Austrian Pilgrim Hospice is a quiet retreat with a garden restaurant, a bar, and a continental breakfast, located 500 meters from the Western Wall. All three score 'Fabulous' or 'Superb' from guests, combining affordability with a genuine Jerusalem experience.
