שלום רב
התארחנו לפני כמה שבועות בבית המלון שלכם. נהננו מכל רגע. נהננו במיוחד מהשירות הטוב של העובדים של המלון, להם נזדקקנו מספר פעמים כדי לפתור בעיה זו או אחרת. כוונתנו ללואי בקבלה ולעלי במסעדה.
תודה רבה ולהתראות

A Little House in Bakah,
"Classically designed, city fringe, boutique hotel."
REVIEW A friendly boutique hotel, with spacious rooms, an excellent cafe, high ceilings and a retro spin back to the 1920s, this is certainly one of the top picks in this price range. The main drawbacks are the slightly ambitious prices and the city fringe location.
Right on the road to Bethlehem, A Little House in Bakah, with its unique stone facade, is easy to spot. All rooms have carpeted floors, soft pillows, TV, desk and twin or queen beds. A highlight of the place is the Little Café in Bakah, located in the basement, which serves lasagne, quiche and seven types of sandwiches; try the 'Bulgarian', which comes with sun-dried tomatoes, basil and Bulgarian cheese. You can sit and relax here for hours, surfing the Internet, playing backgammon or kicking back with a book.

Thank you Adi. We had a wonderful visit in Jerusalem and really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. All of the hotel staff were very pleasant and helpful. Please share this with the Management.
Shalom,
Dear Lilach, (Little House in the Colony Manger)
Thanks so much for everything! The Little House is really quite charming and your help and the help of your associates was warm and
caring making our stay in Israel that much more enjoyable. We hope
to be back soon.Our very best to you and thanks again for everything.Kol Tuv,

We enjoyed our stay very much. Your location in the German Colony is wonderful. Our family of four booked two rooms and my sons, who stayed in room 14, which has two windows, liked the night breezes blowing through the room. The people working at the reception desk were pleasant and helpful. We will certainly come again and also recommend your bed and breakfast to others. Maybe the breakfast area could be decorated in a more cheerful and intersting style, though. Cordially, Cathy Rozenman Tamari - guest from 13 August 2009 Little House in The Colony.

I just got back from Israel, spending my first 4 nights at the Little House in Bakah and really loved my stay there.
Ok, so if you're looking for a 4-star hotel this is definitely not it. That said, let me tell you what I loved about the place.
The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was updated and spotless. The bed was very comfortable. The room had a powerful AC unit which is important in Israel. There was even a nice flat panel TV in the room.
While they didn't have free internet, there were several cafes in walking distance that did. Speaking of which, Little House is in a residential area so there were some terrific cafes, restaurants and a wonderful bakery all within walking distance.
While you can find some of this stuff at other hotels in Jerusalem, what I really liked about the Little House is that it felt like home. This was my first trip to Israel and the Little House was my first destination.
The staff there went out of their way to provide me with helpful options for dining, shopping, finding my way around, etc. They were friendly, chatty and more than just courteous. They were genuinely concerned with my needs and did their best to see to them.
The best example of this was their help in finding me a hotel in Tel Aviv. I decided to leave Jerusalem a day early and needed a last-minute one-night hotel room in Tel Aviv. The woman at the desk spent 45 minutes on the phone and internet to find me a room. They had nothing to gain by doing this and, in fact, by her helping me, they were losing a paying customer one day early.
If you want something cozy, homey, and want to feel like you're living IN Jerusalem and not just stationed at some generic hotel, then I strongly urge you to stay at A Little House in Bakah.
Shalom!

Dear Liat & Family:
Thank you for making my stay in Jerusalem so pleasant. My daughter and I had a wonderful time and enjoyed our stay at the Little House immensely. Our room was comfortable and cozy, and you--all of you--were so gracious, kind and helpful in every way.

I had the good fortune of staying at the Little House for 7 days over the Sukkot holiday. This place is pure user-friendly. From the rooms to the staff to the delicious breakfast (in the Sukkah!), everything was as comfortable and easy as can be. The staff went out of their way each day to accommodate a wide range of requests. I cannot wait until I can stay there again on my next trip to Israel.
Todah!

Thank you so much for the wonderful facility which our family recently
enjoyed from January 3rd to 10th. You and your staff were all remarkably
helpful and it made us feel "babayit".
While on this recent visit our daughter became engaged to a Yerushalmi and
we will be returning this summer for her wedding. We would love to have the
same unit as before (Dates-5) from July 22 to August 3, 2007.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Subject: My wonderful stay at your B & B
To Liat and Adi, Little House in the Colony
thank you both again for a wonderful 6 week stay at the 'Colony". It certainly was like staying with friends. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I really was sad to leave. Even my daughter( who I was visiting) felt at home.
Thank you all again for a very pleasant stay.

Dear Friend,
I just wanted to thank you once again for accommodating us while in Jerusalem. We had a most enjoyable stay. Our room was well appointed with a good en suite that include a wonderful bath, a rarity in some places. Most importantly however was the friendly atmosphere that prevailed. All staff were always welcoming and accommodating making us feel as if we were staying in a "home".
Thanks to all for their efforts. We have already recommended "A Little House In Bakah" to quite a number of friends.
We will be back.
Kind regards,
Avron and Jean Cohen

Dear Oded
I am writing to thank you for your kindness and hospitality during my recent visit to Jerusalem. Having stayed at The Hotel Mount Zion and the Jerusalem Renaissance among others, The Little House surpassed them in terms of friendly service and attention to detail. The location of the hotel is ideal for bus travel and taxi. It also offers a great banking service across the road and shops just around the corner. The breakfast was just right. The fresh towels each day were welcome. And the bar area was a delightful place to sit in the evening. Many thanks again, I look forward to visiting you again in 2006.
With every good wish,
Father Jerome A.P Fagan

Janet and I, and our three kids, all had a fantastic experience visiting Israel recently, and I want to thank you for playing such a big part in making our visit so wonderful. The Little House in Bakah was our favorite hotel, especially for the kids, which is why we decided to make a second stop there at the end of our two week trip.
We found you via the internet, and the Little House met all of our criteria - a family suite, a fair price, a great location, and a personal touch. Little did we know how lucky we were to find you! The kids felt at home immediately. I met fellow travelers who were full of helpful information (including how to avoid jetlag and how to get a last minute Shabbat invitation for five!) and who were a pleasure to talk to. You went out of your way to help with the logistical details of our trip. Reserving a rental car for us, advising us on the best locations for folk dancing, letting us use your computer to resolve by email a problem we left behind, and getting us a shuttle to the airport were only a few examples.
We didn't fully appreciate until we stayed elsewhere the little things that you do right. Some examples: the best air conditioning system, extra towels, pillows and blankets readily available, a large refrigerator, a microwave and a Shabbat plate (blech), beverages available at all hours, great cable TV stations. And then there were the conveniences of being in Bakah: easy parking, taxis appearing within seconds, full laundry service for a ridiculously low price, Anglo shuls within blocks, a great public swimming pool only a few blocks away, fancy kosher restaurants, felafel stands, and a McDonalds all within easy walking distance.
We are recommending your place to all of our friends - as a place to experience a side of Israel you just can't get at a five star luxury hotel.
Thanks again Steve Schwartz

We, and several other family members, had the pleasure of being your guests in June. All of the staff members were very pleasant and friendly. We especially appreciate Yonatan. When Tom lost his passport, Yonatan helped locate it, and refused a tip offered in appreciation. It is rare to find such helpful, caring staff and we appreciate it.
Best regards,
Tom & Gloria Golbert

Dear Oded and staff:
Greetings and love from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
My body is here at home but my heart is still in Jerusalem!
Oded, the month our Canadian team stayed at The Little House in Bakah was so special. Having a pleasant place to return to each night made all the difference. Your wonderful staff treated us so well and your friendship was an added blessing. I loved the night we joined you at the Golden Hill Seniors' Home and will long remember the vibrancy of your dance troop.
May you be well and may God bless and guide you through these difficult days. You are in our prayers. Please give my regards to the precious ladies who took such good care of us, the front desk staff and that dear Ethiopian security guard. You all have a special place in my heart.
God bless you all.

Shalom to you all,
I would like to thank you, not only for helping us have a wonderful and enjoyable stay in Jerusalem last week (which we did), but particularly for your emergency assistance on Monday night. Your help in getting my daughter's bag into the taxi to meet us at the airport was INVALUABLE! Thank you for making a difficult situation easy for us!
Again, we enjoyed our stay a great deal, and will continue to recommend the Little House to people we know coming to Jerusalem, (we hope there will be many more).

Dear Little House:
Your records will show that we stayed with you for a few nights starting on 9/26/02. The reason for this e-mail is to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay plus your hospitality and generosity.
We'll be sure to stay at your place again.
