Welcome!
New Gate Hostel is housed within the historic Notre Dame of Jerusalem Center, a Pontifical Institute located just across from the New Gate of the Old City. Formerly known as the School Hostel—back when the Center operated a hospitality school—this space has been thoughtfully renewed to welcome today’s travelers and pilgrims.
​
What sets it apart is its unbeatable location: just a 7-minute walk from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, one of the holiest sites in Christianity. Guests staying at the hostel are perfectly positioned to explore the sacred heart of Jerusalem on foot, while enjoying the safety, hospitality, and peace of a Pontifical guesthouse.
​
Rooted in a tradition of welcoming pilgrims since 1888, the hostel provides simple comfort in a setting steeped in history and faith.
