About this place Beit Ben-Yehuda

Beit Ben-Yehuda is a guesthouse and international meeting centre on Ein Gedi Street in the Talpiot neighbourhood of Jerusalem, housed in the former home of Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, the man most associated with reviving Hebrew as a spoken language. It is mainstream and listed as gay-friendly, not an LGBTQ+ venue. It hosts seminars and study groups as well as individual travellers. Rooms are simple and the setting is residential and quiet, with a garden. Talpiot is south of the centre, so allow 15 to 20 minutes by bus or taxi to reach the Old City or downtown. Jerusalem's queer life centres on the Jerusalem Open House community centre downtown. Book through the website, and check meal options in advance.

It's still unclear exactly what you can expect there. A place with history.

Would have been a great stay. The reception by a member of staff was very friendly and promising. The room was also completely satisfactory. However, the laundry charges are higher than agreed, and you have to pay for breakfast even after you've already left. They generally charge you for everything. It's completely unacceptable. A real shame.

Essentially, the house is well-suited for group accommodation. But only under the premise of using only the sleeping facilities and no other services. These are overpriced and, in our case, weren't even provided. Only receiving two out of three paid breakfasts is a disgrace. Hidden costs like those for ordering food and laundry are also inappropriate. Therefore, this accommodation is a flop for our 20 group members. A shame.

It would be a cool place to stay in principle, but you get ripped off. Breakfast costs the equivalent of 8 euros, which is far too expensive for what's offered. On top of that, you have to pay even though it was clear we were leaving at 2 a.m. (we didn't get breakfast, but still paid half price). Ordering a pizza also incurs a fee. I won't be coming back; it's simply a rip-off!

The house itself would be quite cool, but you're subtly ripped off. Through different prices and a meager breakfast. Unfortunately, not recommended!
