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 fiancée 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 |
