This is a small hotel in East Jerusalem, not to be confused with the similarly named Metropole Hotel, which is only a few doors away. I was a little apprehensive when I booked it, even though I had gotten an excellent Expedia "Unreal Deal" rate. However, it served me just fine for my time in Jerusalem. Nothing fancy, but more than reasonably functional.
The location is in a shopping district near the Old City, quite safe because there is a police station virtually next door. There are several small hotels in the area, lots of shopping. There were a few nearby restaurants, most of which had local styles of food. It's on a one-way street, and taxis had a habit of stopping at the other end of the one-way portion, which meant a short walk rather than being delivered at the door. Because this hotel is in a mainly Palestinian area, most of the signs in the area are in Arabic and English, rather than Hebrew. TV appeared to be a Saudi cable or satellite feed, but there were three stations that broadcast in English, including CNN.
Breakfast was decent. They told me that it was from 7 to 9, although one morning I had to be up before 6 and it was already there and waiting.
