Jaffa Gate Hostel is an interesting place to meet interesting people. If that is your goal and you do not care about comfort go there. If you care about comfort however go somewhere else since that is not on the menu. I and my partner went there on the high score on this site, because it's score was 91%. I think it might be spoofed because we were not the only one complaining. The owner does not rely care about the complains the hotel will be full only on its location which is great.
The downsides on the rooms I have seen are: the ventilation is poor, there are no windows (there is even a room behind the desk with no windows or openings to the open air), the showers are very dirty and you must hold the shower head up by hand (our shower sink had a thick brown layer on it an mold on the walls), there are no fans or airco in the rooms you can rent a fan for 25sheqel ($6.40) a day, at night there is no one at the desk so if a guest leaves the door open anyone can come in.
Positive points: The guests are very interesting people and the entrance is the living room with a TV which makes it easy to make contact with others. On the open on the first floor there are tables where you can sit. If you do not have a fridge tere is on the second floor a large fridge and cooking plate that can be used by anyone. I guess it is sometimes even used by people not staying at jaffa gate hostel.
