Hello from Canada!
Just a short note to thank all the staff at Little House in
Bakah. I enjoyed my 5 days in Jerusalem and your hospitality
and clean & comfortable accommodations played a big part in making our
stay most pleasant in Israel. I enjoyed the dining room and patio
downstairs with it's well presented breakfast each morning. The
bar/lounge was also a very special place to unwind over a beer after a
day of touring. Everyone at the front desk was most pleasant and very
helpful. Hope you all had a chance to try the Pacific smoked salmon I
left as a momento of Canada.
Maurice: J'ai surtout aime nos petites jasettes a la reception de temps
a autre. Merci des services que tu m'as rendus si genereusement. Tu es
un bon homme. Bonne chance et je t'encourage a poursuivre tes talents de
mime. Si jamais tu viens au Canada, tu sera le bienvenu chez moi a
Calgary dans la belle province de l'Alberta.
Thank you all!

Dear
Friend,
I
just wanted to thank you once again for accommodating us while in Jerusalem.
We had a most enjoyable stay. Our room was well appointed with a good en
suite that include a wonderful bath, a rarity in some places. Most
importantly however was the friendly atmosphere that prevailed. All staff
were always welcoming and accommodating making us feel as if we were staying
in a “home”.
Thanks
to all for their efforts. We have already recommended “A Little House In
Bakah” to quite a number of friends. We will be back.
Kind
regards,
Avron and Jean Cohen

Dear Oded
I am writing to thank you for your kindness and hospitality during my
recent visit to Jerusalem. Having stayed at The Hotel Mount Zion and the
Jerusalem Renaissance among others, The Little House surpassed them in
terms of friendly service and attention to detail. The location of the
hotel is ideal for bus travel and taxi. It also offers a great banking
service across the road and shops just around the corner. The breakfast
was just right. The fresh towels each day were welcome. And the bar area
was a delightful place to sit in the evening. Many thanks again, I look
forward to visiting you again in 2006.
With every good wish,
Father Jerome A.P Fagan

Janet and I, and our three kids, all had a fantastic experience visiting
Israel recently, and I want to thank you for playing such a big part in making
our visit so wonderful. The Little House in Bakah was our favorite hotel,
especially for the kids, which is why we decided to make a second stop there
at the end of our two week trip.
We found you via the internet, and the Little House met all of our criteria
– a family suite, a fair price, a great location, and a personal touch.
Little did we know how lucky we were to find you! The kids felt at home
immediately. I met fellow travelers who were full of helpful information
(including how to avoid jetlag and how to get a last minute Shabbat invitation
for five!) and who were a pleasure to talk to. You went out of your way to
help with the logistical details of our trip. Reserving a rental car for us,
advising us on the best locations for folk dancing, letting us use your
computer to resolve by email a problem we left behind, and getting us a
shuttle to the airport were only a few examples.
We didn’t fully appreciate until we stayed elsewhere the little things
that you do right. Some examples: the best air conditioning system, extra
towels, pillows and blankets readily available, a large refrigerator, a
microwave and a Shabbat plate (blech), beverages available at all hours, great
cable TV stations. And then there were the conveniences of being in Bakah:
easy parking, taxis appearing within seconds, full laundry service for a
ridiculously low price, Anglo shuls within blocks, a great public swimming
pool only a few blocks away, fancy kosher restaurants, felafel stands, and a
McDonalds all within easy walking distance.
We are recommending your place to all of our friends – as a place to
experience a side of Israel you just can’t get at a five star luxury hotel.
Thanks again
Steve Schwartz
