The facility needs a major renovation to be comfortable. Cleanness needs to be improved. Breakfast is o.k. Owner is not much responsible.

Wonderful host!
I was happy with our stay. Nir is a very good host. If you have any questions he will work hard to get you what you need. I would happily stay here again. Very nice people.

Nir, the proprietor, is a great host. Staff were friendly and helpful. I liked the location. Walkable to the walled city or a short cab ride. Rooms are basic but ours was comfortable. I would stay there again (and there were several people I encountered there who had stayed there multiple times).

Total value plus feel of Home
Such a perfect location -- easy to walk around and super easy to catch rail or buses etc. Nir was just a joy to talk with and very conscientious. Nice simple Israeli breakfast offered and a feeling of Home in inviting use of the kitchen. I enjoyed meeting the other guests as well.

Loved this place. If you're not renting a vehicle, as I did not, this is the place for you. A minute's walk to the tram, which takes you to the old city in 10 minutes one way, or Yad Veshem 10 minutes in the other direction. Also a minute's walk to both the train and bus stations, which makes visiting any part of Israel straightforward, not mention cheap and more environmentally sustainable. Ben Gurion is 20 minutes away by train, making arrival and departure about as easy as can be imagined. To top it all off, the staff are friendly and accommodating. There are delightful sitting areas outside, too.

Great Israeli breakfast! Meet travelers from around the world during breakfast. Convenient location next to the Central bus station. Clean room & helpful staff. The building in Kikar Allenby/Allenby Circle was difficult to find at night. It would be helpful to have a sign outside.

Old property not refurbished. Old furnitures, everything is old faschioned. Breakfast acceptable, but no meat products at all. Good cafe. Dirtiness needs to be mentioned as well, especially my bathroom was dirty. Staff I thought was very friendly initially, but when they ensured me 2x that they had arranged my shuttle during Shabbat, and they told me at departure from house that they didn't, letting me in big trouble how to catch my flight, it was strange that the business owner was shouting at me instead of me shouting at him ( which I did not do as it looked he would not arrange the horrible priced taxi either, so I was in a vulnerable position). All in one not a feeling I'm in Europe, however prices are 2x Europeans.

Photos don’t match listing
We booked the Allenby 2 thinking we were getting a nice place according to the pictures we saw in the listing. We arrived to an apartment that did not look like the pictures. The apartment was visibly dirty and in need of repairs. It was not comfortable and not worth the price paid. I would not recommend Allenby 2.

A home away from home
We stayed at Allenby2 for 3 nights. From the moment we stepped in the front door we we were welcomed and we felt at home. We had a gorgeous room with our own bathroom and 24 hour access to the kitchen nearby. Breakfast was supplied each morning and it was simple but ample. A large dining area and outdoor areas to sit as well. Very communal and located close to Central Bus station and the tram line which enabled us to go anywhere in Jerusalem and Israel. Staff were so friendly and helpful. We loved this place and would happily return again to stay there.

Nice place for a getaway
Lovely place for a getaway Cosy clean and staff super helpful and friendly Breakfast is fine The double bed wasn’t very big We had the garden flat which was nice.. nothing luxurious but certainly a bargain for the price. There isn’t much to do on Saturday so take this into account when booking.

Very nice. Lots of tourists from different people.
For the money, this was great. We were on the 3rd floor of a satellite room that was two light rail stops from the Breakfast place. One of the people who had a room at the 2 Allanby place has been staying there for about 4 weeks a year for 10 years now.

I loved that I was actually at the little studio apt closer to the Old City in Jerusalem, just a block from the Mahane Yehuda market. It was wonderful to step onto Jaffa Road and just shop and people-watch all the way to the sites. I passed the Post Office to send all my postcards, I found great food at the restaurants and plenty of super good food at the market to take with me to have light meals at the apt. Nir was super knowledgeable and helpful. He helped stay a little longer and get the train to the airport on time. It was really great. It was exactly what I expected and I will DEFINITELY stay there again!!!!

Comfortable stay in Jerusalem - great breakfast!
The studio was very close to the market and had everything that you need to make dinner (in case you dont want to go out). Breakfast is really good! The only minus was the walk in the morning to the main allenby house for breakfast (12min on the street).

Nice pad at Romema, very good location. Quiet with windows closed, although on a busy junction. 5 mins from main bus station, train & tram interchange. Owner, Nir, very helpful. Breakfast available at Allenby only 2 min walk away. Cooking facilities in pad. Great stay. Although no transport on shabbat, old city can be walked to in 30 mins. Would use again.

Great boutique B&B
The owners are great. Very helpful and kind. Breakfast is well done- eggs, hummus, cottage cheese, cereal, toast, and other dishes. Can't ask for more. The area is full of restaurants, discount shops, and it is close to the bus station for convenience (but it is also safe). I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
