Charming hotel
Charming little hotel in the old town section of Nazareth. The owner Bassam was an excellent host as was his staff. Especially helping out with a few additional supplies that i requested. Also helping with getting my luggage up and down the stairs, and some recommendations on places to see when my tours got cancelled. The room was spacious. It had a desk, fridge and a kettle, tea and coffee. The bed was fine. Shower was good. However the hot water can take some time to come through. It does get there eventually. There are also mirrors in the room including a full length one. The hotel is a short walk to Mary’s Well where there are a few restaurants and a mini mart for supplies. It is also very short walk to the markets in The Old City and The Church of Annunciation. If traveling in by bus, i suggest getting off somewhere near Mary’s Well to save you pushing luggage up steep hills. (yes i made this mistake! lol) Thanks Bassam. Appreciate your kind hospitality. And i loved the chocolate! Nice touch.

Excellent location, very helpful and friendly staff, unique building with good vibes. Very hard to find when using Google maps through scary steep small roads (whereas much easier route is available), difficult to park until you find the bishops parking lot very close to the hotel

The property is a sight to behold to itself. A beautiful old building from Crusader time, the stones and architecture is exceptional. I don't think you can walk in here and not say "Wow". The family that owns this place is top class, very friendly and personal. I really enjoyed my stay here and would recommend it to anyone.

Warm hospitality from the family-owned and run boutique hotel. Clean rooms, great atmosphere in the renovated crusader building. Each room is unique. Lots of light, even in the bathrooms. Parking was offsite but close by and convenient. Hotel is walking distance from the open market. The family provides lots of information and always ready to help. We have already booked our next visit!

Amazing Place and Service!!!
Amazing place with amazing service!!! First of all the host/owner Bassam was super nice and most accommodating. We booked last min and he came after his work hours to let us in. He also made sure we were parked in a place where we wouldn’t get a ticket. The place was very clean and full of interesting history. Bassam and his mother told us the several hundred year old history behind the place. We are breakfast at their dining hall, which was cooked by Bassams mother and was delicious. One of the best experiences here! 🌟

A sure bet for your next stay in Nazareth
Al Hakim provided my family a wonderful starting point for our vacation. To start they are located in the heart of the old city so once I had parked in the lot they had recommended (a five minute walk from the hotel) we were close to everything. They are natural hosts making sure everything we wanted and needed was cared for, making us feel as welcome as can be. The hostess made a point we each got our preferred type of breakfast and adding local pastries and goodies to the already delicious and wide variety laid out for breakfast. They also were helpful with information about what to do, what hours things were open, etc. The hotel itself is charming, a beautiful combination of old architecture and modern convenience. In short, I left the hotel certain I will be back.

Best place we stayed on entire Israel trip!
We really enjoyed our stay here! The hosts (family run) were fantastic! Super helpful with suggestions on what to see & do, and also every restaurant they recommended was fantastic! Walk to all the sites in Old City Nazareth. The place is charming, historical & super clean. The breakfast is excellent with a local flavor which we really appreciated. By far the best lodging experience we had on our 2 1/2 week trip to Israel. Will be back if ever in Israel again!

Beautiful, ancient retreat with heart and charme
We booked very last minute late in the evening, so that the owners son first had to come for us to open the doors and do the check-in... Nevertheless, he managed to do it fast and very well and friendly. He gave us a warm and charming welcome and explained all about this ancient building that runs in his family for a century. In the past, the ancient and lovely renovated 3 story structure was a carpentery. Even though we are not Christians it was interesting to stay in a former carpentry as Jesus of Nazareth also used to be a carpenter. All the major Christian sights and the Shuk are in walking-distance of the guest house, as well as many well-rated restaurants. (Church of Annunciation was magnificent!) We chose to eat dinner and lunch at "Tishreen" and we were very satisfied by the friendly service, trendy-rustic location and yummy food. Also good cocktails and wines! The guest house feels very homy and cosy and also his father and mother who hosted our delicious breakfast are very warm and friendly people. There are comfortable sitting areas outside the rooms, so that it feels as you had an extra living room, which is very nice if you travel with friends or family or just like to relax in a sofa and read a book. There is also a free tea and coffee station and free parking in front of the guest house or in a nearby surveillanced garage for around 40 shekels. I'd definitely come back to Al Hakim Guest House! :)

Hidden Treasure of Nazareth
The title is a good description for the hotel. From outsie you just enter a simple door but as soon as you're inside you breathe history. It's an ancient building with original stone walls. The design is a beautiful mixture of new and old. We had a great room which was very clean and tidy. As we went to sleep we looked up to the ceiling made of stones that form a roof. The service was perfect. I've been in some hotels before but this was just the perfect mix. We felt as a part of the family on one hand and on the other hand the staff was very professional and helped us in many ways. I could keep on writing for pages but I guess there's only one way for you to get a better impression: It's such a historic and romantic place that you should just stay there if you get the chance.
