Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Jericho Hotel enjoys a convenient location within walking distance of the main line station and a short walk (around 10 minutes) from the city center and its attractions. Guests often find the rooms spacious and appreciate the crisp, white, ironed bed linen. Most guests find the rooms clean and some include amenities like a fridge and kettle. Some visitors have noted that the decor in some rooms appears a bit tired and could use some updating, but overall the location and size are strong points.

The location was indeed beneficial for exploring the city center. I appreciated that I could store my luggage before official check-in and after checking out! The staff showed accommodation, providing attentive service. Its quiet setting allowed for a peaceful visit.

The bathroom light was motion activated and rather bright. I found it shone directly toward the bed.

Convenient Location and Helpful Staff

easy accesshelpful staffconvenient walkclose proximity

The location offered easy access from the bus depot, approximately 800 meters away. I found the walk to the train station convenient when departing. The staff was very helpful when I accidentally left a t-shirt behind. They called to arrange its return. I appreciated the proximity to Little Clarendon Street for easy access to breakfast and coffee.

The bathroom could have been cleaner. I noticed a slight damp smell perhaps from lack of ventilation.

A Lebanese restaurant operates downstairs. I believe it belongs to the hotel. I ate two evening meals and found them good. The value felt great considering the restaurant accessibility.
