Rafael Residence Boutique

Excellent location close to the old town of Jerusalem (20 min walk), the stop of number of buses nearby: 10 min to Jaffa gate or ca 20 min to the check point to reach Betlehem (then 40 min walk from the wall to the centre), quiet and priviliged quarter, cafe/restaurant on the grount floore, grocery shop at the neadby corner. The bedroom is devided from a living room with a kitchen corner, basic equipment is available incl. a fridge.

Location is excellent, and Derech Beit Lechem has a relaxed Jerusalem vibe. Staff is warm and always helpful. We appreciate having separate living room and some kitchen facilities. We are repeat customers of this hotel, which in many ways suits us well.

We had a fantastic stay at Raphael’s Residence in the beautiful Baka neighborhood of Jerusalem. The area is charming, quiet, and full of character—with lovely cafés, shops, and tree-lined streets just a short walk away. The apartment itself was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Highly recommend !

This mixture of apartment and hotel was perfect, especially since I stayed in Jerusalem for more than a week - my room included a small kitchenette with fridge, toaster, electric kettle, microwave etc., and the rooms were were simple, but comfortable and nice. The staff was very attentive and nice. In walking distance, there are cafés, grocery shops, a pharmacy, busses to the city center, Mt. Scopus and Givat Ram (university campus) and other parts of the city.

Staff is very helpful and hospitable, great location, close to the German Colony with lots of restaurants, hotel located near the street with many shops, cafes, convenience stores, about 10 minutes drive to the Old city. The rooms are a bit outdated but had everything we needed, kitchen dishes and cutlery. Will stay again when we go next time to Jerusalem.
