Shamai Suites Jerusalem

Fair value but right across the street from a raucous hostel that offers a party deck that is VERY NOISY late at night. Also, no front desk or reception staff, you have to call someone to enter building which means you need local phone service on mobile phone.

It's a very dirty place, since the entrance. Towels are more grey than white. Rooms, and bathroom are not cleaned daily. Curtains are broken. Living room has not receive maintenance for years

We stayed for four nights. It was quiet and functional. The pictures must have been taken a while back because the apartment is rather worn. The beds and pillows were comfy, and it was nice to have basic reheating supplies. There are no cooking supplies at all, just two dishes, two forks, knives, spoons, two cups, etc. Not even a wash towel or sponge. There was a microwave and small refrigerator. The TV worked! The staff always came right after we called, so that was a plus. The location is great.

Do yourself a favor and stay away from this filthy place, the bathrooms, floors, bedsheets ant and towels where dirty, went out for a walk around the city and when we came back there was a construction work going on INSIDE our room and the didn't even bother to clean afterwards so it the room was even dirtier than when we arrive, honestly I don't understand how they are allowed to operate such place

Location is great! We are close to everything. The apartment was big and very comfortable. Although we didn’t understand the point to have such a big kitchen, there is no utensils at all, even not a coffee machine or a sponge to wash the dishes. In the small room, it looked like beds haven’t been changed. But the real problem was that there is no communication at all. After booking we didn’t receive a message explaining how to check in. It says the check in is from 14h, it also says that there is a reception. I arrived when we were lucky because there was someone cleaning some apartment. He opened the door and let us know the apartment we booked was not ready yet (we have booked the same day). We left our luggages in the parking and Came back 2 hours later, After 1 hour maybe someone answered the message i have sent, saying that someone would come to welcome us. We waited no one came. Someone was leaving the building, so that’s how we could go in. We didn’t know where were our luggages. We tried to look in the different floors for sooemone, we found the same guy repairing something in one of the apartment. He said that our apartment was ready and he had the key, but our luggages were somewhere that someone had closed with a key and this someone had left. To make is shorter, we had our luggages a few hours later. We didn’t hear from the owner. Nothing!! We were lucky this guy was there repairing something. Thats an unacceptable behavior. No respect at all!!

Location was wonderful! We walked everywhere. Lots of shops and restaurants. The suite was spacious. We loved that our two boys got their own small bedroom with comfortable twin beds. The living room furniture is a little old and the place felt a bit dusty but all in all we loved our stay!

Great location Big place Clean I love this place.

The room was okay but checking in was an issue. It wouldn’t have been an issue if we could have been e-mailed a code beforehand to get into the building Also the phone # was useless as we hadn’t found a cell store to buy an Israeli SIM card yet. The amenities such as shampoo & lotions were nice as was the jacuzzi tub but we had to ask for bowls, utensils & cups. We bought our own dish cloth & dish soap as there was none there. We had to ask to have the floor swept. There wasn’t a broom in the room. We weren’t told that there was a Disco adjacent to our room. On 2 nights of our stay the music was so loud we had to leave the room at 1:00 am as we couldn’t sleep it went on ‘til 3:00 am. We are okay with a bit of street noise but this was really too much!

I primarily use ********** because the guest ratings are usually fairly accurate. However, they missed the mark on this one. This hotel offers a central location to great restaurants and activities but falls short on most everything else. There is no lobby...so checking in is challenging. The price is less expensive than most but the furnishings are badly worn. Paint chipping from ceilings, sliding doors that dont properly lock and the inconsistency of hot water make this hotel a little sketchy.
