Villa Brown Moshava is an excellent spot from which to explore the city. It all starts with the cheerful welcome in the lovely lobby, and continue on to the well appointed room with its comfortable bed, and the complimentary coffee and tea. Nearby Emek Refa'im Street has many options for dining and shopping (to include a couple of small supermarkets). Note that the hotel does not offer breakfast on premises, but has a relationship with two nearby restaurants. If you are a walker, the hotel is a reasonably easy 2.2 km stroll from the Jaffa Gate

Wow! This is a tiny hotel that is really special. Located in a lovely old house, it has the charm that bigger hotels lack. Water, tea and coffee are available in the lobby. Paid breakfast gives you a meal at Caffit, a favorite of visitors (service is slow and the restaurant is a 7 minute walk away so it’s not a speedy experience). The “hot tub” was more of a bathtub in the yard, so I didn’t use it but the courtyard is a lovely place to sit and work or enjoy a drink. The hotel is very convenient to Emek Refaim and there are many buses that run nearby. I appreciated the hotel staff, who were very helpful and friendly. I definitely recommend this hotel!

This nearly century old property has been completely updated to provide a wonderful quiet haven in the German Colony of Jerusalem. Right off of emek refaim street, but you’d never know it, that’s how quiet it is. Balconies are an added bonus, as are the quality cappuccinos at the front desk, and included breakfast from a nearby cafe. The staff is friendly and attentive as well, providing good suggestions on all subjects, from parking to restaurants. Would stay here again!

Es un hotel pequeño bastante limpio y cómodo El personal es muy amigable Hay algunos detalles como que la tv no funciona bien se va la señal y el audio y tuve que resetear varias veces. El aseo del cuarto es bueno pero no cambiaron los vasos para agua que utilice durante mi estancia. Pequeños detalles fuera de eso lo recomiendo ampliamente

My thoughts were that it was in a convenient location, the room and property itself was very well maintained, presentable and clean customer service was friendly and helpfull. I think overall great place to stay if visiting Jerusalem.

My wife and I stayed at Villa Ba'Moshava for 2 nights in January 2025. The hotel is in an old private house. The building is attractive, and the garden, too. The rooms are small and not too well equipped, at least by modern standards. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the neighborhood has nice restaurants and parks.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Villa Brown Ba’Moshava. We discovered this gem a few years ago when we were walking in the Emek Re’faim neighbourhood and were determined to stay here on our next visit to Jerusalem. It exceeded our expectations and was an absolute delight. From the impeccable and friendly service to the comfortable rooms, uniquely and tastefully decorated, welcome drink with snacks and all the thoughtful ‘extras’, the hotel oozes with charm and ambience. It definitely ticked all the boxes and we loved the quiet, yet convenient location. It is certainly a fine hotel where we would love to return. Sincerely, Miri and Larry, Vancouver, B.C. CANADA.

the two highlights are both the building itself, quaint, quiet, but only 1 block from action. Service was truly remarkable and personal. Greeted by name by Soohare, Rond, and Sufion. Often offered fresh ground coffee upon entering. Just very kind and accomodation.
