"Everyone went out of their way to make me welcome, exactly as the person who I am. They all worked hard and were also human and full of life. Highly recommended "
"10/10, I cannot recommend St Barbara's Hotel enough. Everything was wonderful, from the room to the breakfast (!) to the service. Clara was incredibly attentive to everything I needed, and went out of her way to help me get whatever I needed. Next time I am in town I will definitely be staying here again."
"Amazing!
Dar Sitti is a beautiful hotel nestled in the heart of Bethlehem, steps away from Church of the nativity, the Square, market, and restaurants.
The hosts were wonderful.
I highly recommend anyone travelling to this area to give Dar Sitti a try, you will not regret it!
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️"
