Overlooking Zion Square, this is as downtown as you can get. Don't look for frills – this is for the budget traveler – but it is surprisingly well appointed for what it is: double-glazed windows in the rooms facing Zion Square, for example, and wall-to-wall carpet. Dormitory beds (8 in a room) are just $12 a night; larger private rooms sleep parents and two kids; children under 12 are free.

I stayed 4 nights at the Jerusalem hostel (I am not a tourist, but an Israeli who came to spend some time in Jerusalem). I took a double-bed room, class C. The place turned out to be far better than I expected. A clean room, nice people staying at the hostel, and it is even relatively quiet (considering the central location). The hostel is 10 minutes walk from the Old City, and just across the street from the Jerusalem "fun area", with pubs, bars and cafe's. In short, I'd reccomend it to my friends when they come to visit Israel.
