About this place Austrian Hospice

The Austrian Hospice of the Holy Family is a Catholic pilgrim guesthouse on the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem's Old City, opened in the 1860s as the first national pilgrim house in the city. It takes all travellers, not only pilgrims, and is listed here as a mainstream gay-friendly stay, not a gay venue. Rooms are simple, and it rates 4.6 on Google from about 2,600 reviews. Two things draw outside visitors: the Viennese café in the garden, known for apple strudel and Austrian coffee, and the rooftop, which gives one of the best views over the Old City's domes. Inside the Old City, dress modestly near religious sites and keep public affection low-key.

This place has a very unique and authentic vibe. It's located in the heart of the Old Jerusalem and despite that, you feel calmness and peace over there. Excellent coffee and deserts. Great experience

A magical place for a pleasant break from wandering the alleys of the old city. We sat in the cafe, enjoying the quiet of the garden and a cold Bavarian beer.
