William's Guest House is a home away from home in the old city of Jerusalem. Located close to the Ethiopian Church, right within the cobbled alleyways which mark the historic city, the accommodation combines modern facilities with an old world environment which is only to be understood by experience. The house itself is old style, stone walls, wrought iron rails, old pictures and wooden furniture which breathes another world. The room was clean, comfortable, modern. The kitchen is open access with 24 hour tea and coffee. Breakfast stuff is in the fridge and you make it yourself per convenience. On an early day, we packed our own breakfast, on another day we left early then returned for a late breakfast- very convenient. You can warm up your own meal or make eggs if you wish. Lovely shops, cafes and eateries around.
We arrived from Tel Aviv Airport by public transport. Took the train into Jerusalem central bus station, then line 1 to Damascus Gate stop. Short walk from there. We did not have much luggage, so this was very doable.
Check in was smooth. We called William on the doorbell, were allowed into the courtyard. He arrived promptly to hand over keys and explain arrangements. On day out, we simply left keys in the house. He was contactable when needed but we had our own privacy in the space.
Everything is walkable in the old city. A Jerusalem experience is incomplete without staying in here. William's guesthouse is a perfect option.

What could be improved: Nothing I can think of.

The hospitality from Micheal and his family was unreal, like perhaps nothing I have experienced before.

The property was good value for money, clean and comfy. Hosts were extremely accommodating with any requests.

Wonderful people! Very clean, quiet, and could not ask for better location. Roof top is really nice! Could not have asked for better accommodations. The building has been redone and retained its ancient feel and stonework. Will definitely return!

What could be improved: I couldn’t stay longer!

Location was great. Rooms were comfortable. The host, Mischel was amazing. He goes the extra mile to ensure the guest is happy.

The location was great in the old town. Not far from the Holy Sepulchre or other major cites. Staff and owner are exceptional. The accommodation was clean with a selection of fruit, tea, coffee and hot chocolate, eggs, pita and hummus. Also close to very nice restaurants and mini markets too. It will be my first choice if available if I return to Jerusalem

What could be improved: No complaints at all. I recommend trying to get familiar with the entry points into the old town in advance. It took a day of getting used to but was ok.
