Fodor's Expert Review Trumpeldor Ba'Atika
21 Trumpeldor St., 22000, Israel
The Ottoman Empire's early-20th-century expansion plans envisaged Beersheva as a regional capital, and the Turks built handsome stone structures in what is now the Old City; this special boutique lodging occupies one of them and is notable for its central courtyard, gorgeous stone walls, and spacious interiors. Guest rooms have small kitchenettes, and all are at ground level, although uneven stone walkways and a vintage entrance gate do not mean easy accessibility.
PROS
- historic and charming setting
- close to trendy restaurants and bars
- Ottoman-era carved wooden furniture in guest rooms
CONS
- can be loud, so ask for room far from main street
