I like to stay at Shamai Suites, because of the central location, you can get very fast and easy to the old city, mamilla mall, central bus station ect. Its not luxerious also there is no lounge not a big reception hall. As I like my privacy anyway, and i dont put my focus on these things, for me this is not the main factor. Rooms are all different, depends on category of course. This time they fulfilled my wish for a quite room to the back, and it was really quite at night and i could even sleep with opened windows (i dont like AC at night) room was big enough. You cant use the kitchen for cooking, theres a microwave, and plates ect. But no oven or things like that, it wouldnt be bad, i stayed there two weeks and had to eat outside all the time, because i did not had the possibility to cook. TV dont have much channels, and it did not work often. Nowadays almost every hotel offers Netflix ect. Bathroom was nice and big, shower was great and the water also. The cleaning staff always friendly and nice, they clean every day, even on shabbath. Though they dont see lot of things sometimes and some areas never was cleaned, I was satisfied with their work that far. Staff at the reception is sadly not that nice at all... except of the two girls I saw sitting there, the guys could not even say good morning - or hardly did. I dont want to tell specific who was unfriendly, but almost all of them really. Idk why it was that way. So dont expact smth luxery here. I come back even though :)
