Cheap and good hotels near the Consulate? |
Booked Addar Hotel for $85.00, note it is Arab owned and operated, which is good, Arab and Palestinians are less likely to cause problems for Arab businesses than Jewish businesses. Also we booked for fianc�e to pay at counter but when she arrived it had already been charged to my credit card. Wifi is touch and go. But Addar Hotel is a short taxi ride from Consulate and 10 minute taxi ride from medical clinic. Overall a 4 1/2 out of 5 star rating for our needs, safety and comfort. Free Breakfast and decent place to get sandwiches and bottled water cheaply a few minutes walk. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g293983-d308113-Reviews-s1-Addar_Hotel-Jerusalem_Jerusalem_District.html |
