Bethlehem Youth Hostel, Bethlehem, Israel

Bethlehem youth hostel is located in the heart of the beautiful old town of Bethlehem to welcome you to Palestine in a house full of history and located just two-minute walk from the Manger Square.

The hostel building consists of four large dormitories equipped with 8 beds, a large living area with Internet access, a fully equipped kitchen and all the necessary facilities to enable you to have a pleasant stay. You can also enjoy the magnificent view on the hills around Bethlehem from our balcony or our roof. The building has a rich history, as it had been used as a Korean cultural centre for 10 years, and a girls’ school during the first Intifada and was also the home of the mayor of Bethlehem, Elias Bandak, for years. The same building also hosts the Franco-Palestinian school on the lower floor and served as a medical clinic for decades before.

Several options are available for reservation (with or without breakfast or even full board). It is also possible to order some delicious Palestinian culinary specialties. Rates which depend on the chosen options are very attractive (60 NIS without breakfast, 80 Nis with breakfast for dorm rooms). Even cheaper rates are offered for groups of more than 12 people. Among other facilities, you will have the ability to call your country, do your laundry and iron your clothes.

The hostel is 9 km from Jerusalem and 30 km from Jericho and Hebron. When you face the church of nativity, turn to your right and follow the street down the hill. Take the first street to your left and follow it for one minute. You will find us on the right hand side.
