Jerusalem is one of the oldest cities in the world, founded over 5,000 years ago. And while it is loaded with history, it\u2019s not a stuffy, dusty capital fit only for antiquity buffs. It\u2019s actually a lively, modern place with an incredible food scene and wild nightlife.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s also expensive when compared to other destinations in the Middle East, so finding affordable accommodation is important if you don\u2019t want to break the bank.<\/p>\n

To help you make the most of your trip, here\u2019s my list of the best hostels in Jerusalem. These are all fun, safe, and social, ensuring that you\u2019ll have an amazing visit to the Holy City.<\/p>\n

1. Abraham Jerusalem<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"The
\nThis is one of the most popular hostels not just in Israel<\/a> but the world. I really liked that it was an energetic place with a friendly atmosphere and a bar. It felt really social. There\u2019s also a tour desk on-site, so it\u2019s easy to book all kinds of day trips and tours around the city, country, and region. <\/p>\n

I liked the hostel’s arty feel, and while the bunks are basic metal ones with thin mattresses and without curtains, the rooms are clean and spacious, which I appreciated. There’s also a free breakfast too. I really loved the location, as it’s close to the Machane Yehuda Market (great to shop at) and it\u2019s not a long walk to the Old City or Central Bus Station.<\/p>\n
