3 Best Hotels in Jaffa Gate, Jerusalem

Inside the Jaffa Gate, this guesthouse is part of the oldest Protestant church in the Middle East. Pinkish limestone floors and simple furnishings define the guest rooms, many of which have balconies. There's also a shaded courtyard and wholesome cafeteria.

Tucked into an alleyway behind the souk in the Armenian Quarter, this guesthouse is a maze of stone buildings and tranquil gardens. It has beautiful views of Jerusalem's holiest places. The single rooms are very small, so reserve a larger one if space is important. Room 25 and 36 have their own balcony.

Tiny iron balconies overlooking Jaffa Gate make this century-old hotel a solid choice for a historic—if humble—night near the Old City walls. The guest rooms are fairly basic, but the large family rooms with sleeping lofts are excellent value.
