The Palatin was built in 1936 and is very old-school Israel/European. They put me in an older section of the hotel (ground floor) which seemed dirtier than the rest of the hotel, but I had a small dog with me and maybe that was why. The room was absolutely fine - hot water, great water pressure, comfortable bed, warm radiator heating (plus an additional wall heater, if needed). I would happily stay here again except for the two electrical towers that are directly across the narrow pedestrian 'street' and directly across from my window. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was a cold buffet that was more than enough for nourishment. If you are not disturbed by the electrical towers, then this is a wonderful, inexpensive, centrally located, and friendly place to stay.
