This hotel was great! Perfect location, working AC, comfortable and clean with a hot shower. The owner was wonderful, kind, and helpful. The rooms are small, but the price is low! Definitely recommend!

Mostly the hotel was good. The location is great, quite close to the old city. We had a quiet night. The proprietor is kind and experienced. The rooms are small but quite functional. A shower is a bit messy. There is a small refrigerator in our room. There are only two drawbacks. One is that there are a lot of stairs, which is challenging with suitcases. The big drawback is the mosquitoes. We killed 15 in our room, and had to wake up frequently to kill the next batch.

Great location to visit Jerusalem (old town as well as jaffa road and the market hall all within walking distance). The host was very, very kind and nice and also have us good advice on how to visit mount olive. We loved that the tram was so close and that we could easily walk to old town. The owner also let us leave the luggage in the hotel for a couple of hours after our check out which was very kind.

The room was a bit small (had to fit the luggage under the bed :-)) and the walls are not very thick, but you can hear other guests sneezing in the neighbouring room.

My stay at the Kaplan Hotel was wonderful. The room was very comfortable and everything worked perfectly - wi-fi, heat (February), hot water. The location could not be better - right off of Jaffa St in a quiet spot, a short walk from the old city. The hosts, two brothers, were warm and helpful and always ready to answer questions or to give advice or to just smile and chat. I highly recommend Hotel Kaplan!

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.
