The Sephardic House Hotel is the best midrange hotel if you want the unique experience of staying within the walls of the the Old City of Jerusalem close to Zion Gate in the Jewish Quarter.

The original building was built around 200 years ago in the Spanish style and served as a Jewish 'Sephardic' school and residence for widows and orphans.
During the 1948 War of Independence, the building was looted and abandoned. Designated as a building for preservation, it has been beautifully renovated and is today one of the few decent hotels within the Old City.
The Sephardic House Hotel serves a great Israeli-style breakfast buffet with a lot of variety and excellent fresh coffee (except on Saturdays and holidays).
