Lavender Boutique Hotel

This lovely small family hotel gives you the feeling of coming home. So welcoming! The service was excellent, the room was clean and had big nice towels (a big plus for me). The personnel was kind and gave information about everything I needed despite the circumstances they have to live with.

Lavender Boutique Hotel sets itself apart with its personalized attention. Even before we arrived they asked us about dietary restrictions, and every morning they had my soy milk ready for me. The two women who hosted us were absolute fonts of information. Each morning or evening I would check in with them and they would help me plan my travels for the next day - around Ramallah, to Nablus, to Hebron and to Jericho. They were also tolerant, amused and encouraging of my attempts to learn the basics of good night, how are you, etc. in Arabic. The garden cools you down in the heat of the day, and the roof terrace offers a gorgeous view of the sunset and of Ramallah at night. I absolutely could not have received a better welcome to Palestine, certainly not either by renting a house or by staying in a big hotel. I’m eager to return!
