About
Space Art Boutique Downtown
Space Art Boutique Downtown is a small, 12-room hotel on Hahavatselet Street in the heart of Jerusalem. The property sits within a roughly 5-minute walk of the Hebrew Music Museum and about 6 minutes' walk from the Museum of Italian Jewish Art, with The Friends of Zion Museum also close by. It is a straightforward, no-frills option for travellers who want to be in the middle of the action without the size or cost of a larger property.
The hotel focuses on the essentials done well: air-conditioned rooms with flat-screen TVs, electric kettles and tea and coffee facilities, plus a 24-hour reception. There is a terrace and a garden area, and a spa and wellness centre with a Jacuzzi for downtime. Guests consistently mention the quiet rooms and the helpful, friendly staff as the standout reasons to book.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
5 reasons to book- Central location for exploring Jerusalem — The hotel is steps from the city centre, the Old City and the light rail station, making it easy to see the main sights and get around.
- Quiet rooms despite the central setting — Several guests note the rooms are quiet and peaceful, which is notable for a property this close to the nightlife and main streets.
- Friendly, helpful staff — Guests repeatedly describe the staff as kind, friendly and willing to fix issues, which adds a personal touch to the stay.
- Practical in-room amenities — Rooms come with a safe, central heating, an iron, and in many cases a fridge and coffee machine, which guests appreciate for comfort and convenience.
- Good value for a central stay — With a price from £624 and positive guest ratings for value and rooms, it offers a solid base without the premium of larger chain hotels.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Very small property — With only 12 rooms, the hotel has a limited number of units available, so it may book out quickly and offer fewer on-site facilities than larger hotels.
- No pets allowed — Guests travelling with animals cannot bring them to this property; the policy is clearly stated.
- Check-in window ends at midnight — Arrivals are only accepted between 15:00 and 23:59, which may be restrictive for late-night flights or very early morning arrivals.
- Potential late-night noise from the nightlife area — The central location is near bars and a nightclub, so light sleepers might hear some street sounds even though many guests reported the rooms as quiet.
