Mitzpe Ramon Youth Hostel & Guest House in Arequipa, Israel

It's a good place to stay, it's right on the cliff of the Ramon Crater. It's clean and well equipped and the breakfast is excellent! BUT, there's no point whatsoever to get a "private room" in low season. When you book a private room, you actually get a dorm room, but for double the price (there's no double bed... it's still bunk beds). Just try to land a dorm room just for you (and your partner) if you need the privacy. Immanuel, from Belgium ~ 6th Apr 2012

This is a real traditional youth hostel, that means it's filled up practically year round with school groups (yes that means noisy teenagers galore), not a place to meet fellow back-packers, so know what you're getting in to! Besides that it's a nice and clean place, well located with friendly staff and a great breakfast (no guest kitchen or common room, WiFi is 25 NIS for 24 hours). We had a twin en suite and it was a great little room. Renee, from Netherlands ~ 17th Mar 2012
