    Modern twin room with new furniture, a bath, as example. Freshly made slices of fresh bread, jam, eggs, and cheese to every taste. Overall good and excellent location next to other conveniences and the center of town. Also, close to the Old Town.

    The location here is great, it's very close to the center. There's a nice place to grab lunch nearby called Shapiro's Delicatessen.

    The room was spacious and super clean with brand new furniture and comfortable mattress. The bathroom was large with a glass-door shower, toiletries, and a hairdryer. Great breakfast with a variety of options including veggies, cheese, yogurt, toast, and eggs. Exceptional hospitality and a super friendly host. Good value for money with top-star hotel amenities at a cheap price.

    Felt like a VIP, no complaints.

    I stayed at Merkaj Hotel for a few nights during my trip to explore the historic sights. The brand new building and fresh furniture made for a clean and comfortable stay. The owner, who speaks English, was always available and helpful. The location was excellent, close to the center and old sights. The breakfast was amazing, and the room was nice with spacious bathroom. The friendly host provided tea, water, and coffee in the breakfast area.

    We had a great stay at Merkaj Hotel. the location was perfect, situated in a quiet area near the city center. the room was spacious and impeccably clean. We loved how dark and quiet it was at night, ensuring a peaceful sleep. the hotel had a lovely, tasteful decor, and there was even a small outdoor garden space. the breakfast was simple but delicious, especially the hot cheese pie and sour milk. the hotel staff were friendly and accommodating, extending our check-out time when we needed it for an online meeting. We highly recommend this hotel to all tourists visiting this beautiful historical city.

    Everything was fantastic! 🌟

    The location is perfect! It's right in the heart of the city, just a short walk to the Old Town and other attractions. The hotel is new and incredibly clean, and the Wi-Fi is strong. They also have parking available, which is a big plus. The breakfast was delicious and had a nice variety of options. The owner of the hotel is a lovely woman who was extremely kind, helpful, and hospitable, despite the language barrier. Highly recommend staying here for a great experience!

    One downside is that the property can be a bit difficult to find, as it's located in a residential area. However, it's still only a 5-10 minute walk to the main pedestrian street, so it's not a major issue.
