I admit the rules may discourage a small percent of the world’s population from staying at HaShimi Hotel, but many of us will truly appreciate them. They are:1.

Directions

If you're vacationing in Israel to see the religious and historical sites, the HaShimi Hotel will make a terrific base for your travels. For example, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher is only 125 yards away! Even many of the New City areas of Jerusalem are close enough to walk to. Personally, I have found Jerusalem to be "smaller" than I thought it would be, but I've discovered that there are many more interesting things to see and do than I realized. Staying in the Old City will make touring Jerusalem easier for you. The staff at HaShimi Hotel can arrange your place in organized tours to all areas of Jerusalem. Some are walking tours. Some are by bus to other cities and regions. All of them are great fun!

Area

From Damascus Gate you'll be on an open street mall that slopes down from the Gate. Walk to the far end at the bottom of the slope. Bear to the right on El-Zeit Street. The HaShimi Hotel is ahead on the left.
