    Everything has been perfect. Location, treatment, comfort, food, etc. Dorraine is a wonderful human being. There is nothing to complain about.

    Dorraine It's adorable. Your house is beautiful and the treatment is wonderful. For an extra value we have been able to experience an unforgettable Shabbat. We loved everything. We recommend it without a doubt. He treated us like we were family. Thank´s Dorraine!

    Dorraine was an incredible host! As someone visiting Israel for the first time, this bed and breakfast was the ideal starting point for exploring Jerusalem. It’s conveniently located near the old city, but it’s also in a peaceful and relaxing area. I highly recommend it!

    The nearby Hebron Road can be a bit noisy in places, but this is not a real problem as it is about 100m away.

    I have been to Jerusalem several times now and I can say that Dorraines Jerusalem Bed & Breakfast is an excellent place to stay. If you don't just want to see Jerusalem, but also want to get to know it, this is the best choice, because you are warmly integrated into the life of Jerusalem and have the opportunity not only to enjoy the family atmosphere, but also to get to know numerous residents of Jerusalem, friends and acquaintances of the family. I will always remember the Shabbat dinners with their excellent food, but also the everyday life with its many conversations. The house itself is very nice, stylishly furnished and centrally located. From the kitchen you have a spectacular view of the city and the beautiful German Colony is within walking distance. The family is extremely hospitable and at the same time very discreet: you can choose how much interaction you want and can always withdraw.

    Staying at Dorraine's is a little different than your standard B&B. Dorraine and Barry welcome you to their home and you become part of their family for the duration of your stay. It is like visiting your grandparents, who live far away, so you don't see them very often. They have their rules and set ways, but if you are up for that (it's not that big of a commitment), you will enjoy your stay with lots of interesting discussions, wisdom and jokes. Also, the location to stroll around Jerusalem is excellent, I basically did not use public transport and just walked.

    It's in a nice part of the city, with the First Station restaurants practically across the street. Dorraine's place is right next to a beautiful public park that offers great views of the old city and Mt. Olive. Both of my hosts offered good advice on how to see Jerusalem. The room and the whole apartment are kept super clean. Breakfast was self serve.

    Bed could be more comfortable. If you like spending hours in a bathroom, bear in mind that you will share it with other guests.

    Dorraine is a very friendly host who can make you feel like home (this is not a regular hotel or apartment!). Go there if you want to taste some real local life (including shabbat supper).

    We had an incredible nice time at Dorraine and Berry. It's like you had jewish grandparents, who invite you to stay with them for a while. They have some separeted, very clean room with ac, and nice breakfast. Having a wine and get know them was a lifetime experience! Highly recommended, especially for young backpackers. Thank you Dorraine!

    Dorriane was a fantastic host! She really cares about her guests and is always there to help! She really enriched my experience by inviting me to their traditional dinner! The location is also extremely convenient to everything; you can walk or take public transport and get anywhere quickly. Before arrival, she sends a message that is extremely helpful telling you how to use public transport!!! Great place! I would book again in a heartbeat!

    What is there not to like?

    Dorraine is a lovely hostess that will help you anyway possible. We could come and go freely. She made us feel like we had a home away from home. The location is great for the Old City. We could control the temperature of our room. The sheets were soft and comfortable.

    Nothing negative to say

    Dorraine’s B&B was a home away from home and gave a valuable insight into the Jewish way of life. Dorraine even invited me to a Shabbat dinner (€25) while I was there. She was very kind and leant me a long skirt as I wanted to pay a visit to the ultra orthodox neighbourhood. Also I was very well informed how to get everywhere and arrive at her place.

    We didn't expect to live in the actual home of the owners. But it was great! The couple was very friendly and we spent hours talking with them. Dorraine herself is a very affable person and talkative too, if you wish to spend time with her. Keep in mind they have a kosher kitchen. But it works fine when you, if a foreigner, get the main rules. The First Train Station is across the street with many restaurants and the Old City is in 20-minute walk. And you always will find a spot to park your car near the house if you need.

    In the past we have been to Jerusalem 5 times. Abu Tor is perfectly located for exploring the city on foot. Unproblematic parking in the district without fees. There is nothing negative to write.

    Perfect stay with short ways to First Station and Old City. Bus available to City and Betlehem 2 Min. away. Dorraine gave us a warm welcome and was helpful in all situations. Clean room. We recommendet. The best accomodation to explore Jerusalem.
