Set around a flowery courtyard with archaeological excavations underneath, this 61-room establishment, in a building that dates from 1855 (a new wing opened in 2017), is run by the Sisters of Nazareth, a French Catholic order. The spotless, barracks-like dorm rooms, with four to six beds each, are single-sex. Note that the gate is locked for the night at 10.30pm sharp.
Breakfast costs 25NIS. Reservations can be made by email or fax up to one or two weeks ahead; walk-ins are welcome.
