About

Austrian Pilgrim Hospice

Austrian Pilgrim Hospice occupies a prime spot on the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem's Old City, putting you within a short stroll of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The property blends a historical character with quiet comforts — a terrace and garden invite slow mornings, while the on-site coffee shop and restaurant keep things easy. Its 31 rooms offer city views, and the atmosphere leans contemplative, fitting its pilgrim heritage.

Guests consistently highlight the hospitable staff and immaculate rooms, along with the convenience of having coffee and a terrace in-room. The hospice is a practical base for exploring Jerusalem's religious landmarks, with Dormition Abbey just a few minutes' drive away and the Western Wall a short walk. The setting is peaceful despite its central location, and the rooftop views earn frequent praise.
