I'm enjoyed!The room was clear and there was really a lot of space. Also I likes breakfasts, I have to say about the host and his family. They are really good people and want to help you, if you have a question or request, they talk in Hebrew, English, Arabic...all we know that's the language is a problem for the tourists. Language border is a disaster.  But here you will like at home, and even more. I recommend this house

more house that home

We stayed in the guesthouse for one night, our experience was great, the room was big enough for us with two kids, the breakfast was above our expectations, the guesthouse is extremely clean, very nice the stuff is very polite and helpful, the guesthouse is about 5 minutes walking to the church and to the old market, extremely recommended

Great vacation

We are a family with 2 kids. We came for 1 night and had a great experience. 
The rooms were clean and big, the host were great and welcoming and the location is ideal. In addition, the breakfast was very nice.

Great place for family with kids

Great simple and nagical place. Great value for the cheap prize, cute yard and atmosphere.
Perfect location, very nice and available hosts and the breakfast was beyond expectations!

Only keep in mind that you have to park 2 min walk from the place and it cost 45nis per day.

Great simple place

The place is conveniently located in the old city in a close proximity to several places of interest: church I’d annunciation, church of St. Gabriel, Synagogue Church.  The guest house is clean, staff — a husband and wife, very friendly.  Room is big enough — there were three of us there, beds are comfortable.  Breakfast was decent, however they do not have any coffee maker, just cooler with cold and hot water, tea bags, instant and grounded coffee.  They just put coffee in the cup and pour hot water for both regular and instant coffee, that is a traditional way, but I did not like it.  But there are plenty of places around where you can get a good cup of freshly made coffee and pita for just a few $$.  There is no TV there, but they have WIFi and you can stream a movie if you wish

Very nice little Bed and Breakfast

Booked for one night because of location to bus to Amman, (good location overall in old city) easy walk to main attractions. I rented a car from Tel Aviv, when got to old city driving there was CHAOS, narrow streets, up and down, lots of backing up, so decided to get out of there and go return car and take taxi back, no cab wanted to drive there, finally got someone to take me and the ride was very easy but drivers get spooked by location because of roads. Owner met us a block away because no vehicles get to place, was very helpful with luggage, extremely friendly.
It's a guest house, so don't compare it to a Hilton, room was clean, comfortable, you pay cash in advance, good breakfast the next morning, they let us have it before it was completely ready because we had to leave early.
Very happy with my stay, the neighborhood is very safe to walk around at night even if dark and empty. Recommend this guest house for budget travelers.

nice place and very helpful owner.

We were also surprised that we had to pay cash, when the Booking website said the hotel accepted credit cards. Other than that, the owner's son helped us drive around to get to the hotel because the roads are VERY narrow. It was very appreciated. 
The room was clean and the a/c worked well. The location is great, we were walking distance from pretty much everything. 
Good value for the price 

Pay cash, and get help to drive there !!

Location is great and breakfast was better than expected. Again, like in many other accommodations around this region, furniture is from another era. Beds, mattresses and wardrobes need a change. Also bathrooms need a reform. Staff was ok and our check-in took them a long time.

Breakfast was the best. The rest is ok

I found this place using TripAdvisor but used Vitrage's website to reserve a room. As of early July 2018, you an only reserve a room from their website but pay for it when you arrive. I don't know how booking works on other third-party booking sites that Vitrage advertises on their website.

One of my friends booked a single room via Booking.com and had to put in her credit card number but actually paid for the room when we arrived.

Which brings me to my first point....ROOM PAYMENT!

You would think that you could pay via credit card but you will likely pay cash. They have a credit card machine but they said it's "broken". My friend told me that some past reviews on Booking.com customers complained that they couldn't pay with credit card and had to pay with cash and that was months and years ago. I personally didn't see a lot of reviews that said come with cash so I thought it would be hit or miss. When we showed up late at night they told us we had to pay cash, we had no cash. Then they told us they could take us to an ATM. We asked if we can do it in the morning and he complied. Morning comes and we were driven to an ATM then we were told that he (driver) needed to make a quick stop somewhere. One of my friends bursted out that we needed to be somewhere because who knows how long he would take. Thankfully it wasn't long. I would suggest making sure you get a receipt when you're paying for your room, especially when you're dealing with cash.

I reserved an economy double room which supposedly was the same price as the single room on their website. He told me this was a mistake on their website but they would still honor the price. Then he said he wanted to put me upstairs in a double room so I had a view. The room he wanted to put me in was already booked and I really didn't mind the economy double room.

Point number two....ACCOMMODATIONS!

Since I was in an economy double room, it was fine with me. I did get to see the view from my friend's single room upstairs which does have a nice view. My room had a small window to the side of the building. I personally just needed a place to sleep and take a shower. My shower didn't have a shower curtain. The whole bathroom was covered in tile and was small so having a shower curtain may have been a little in the way. Just expect the floor to get really wet and maybe don't leave clothes in there while you shower. They have plenty of towels though.

The AC in the room worked great and the double bed was really two single beds pushed together so it looked more like a queen than a double. Typically two singles together means a king but these single/twin beds were not that wide.

Their breakfast was good and is a nice variety. It’s from 830am-10am. It would have been nicer if it started earlier if we wanted a slightly earlier start to our day but we planned accordingly. The outdoor seating area is very nice too.

Third point....GETTING THERE!!!

I didn't have data so I downloaded maps on Google Maps to use offline. Google Maps is not the greatest to use in Israel. If you can, use Moovit or Waze, that would be ideal. I was coming from the west so Google Maps took me to a back road (from Salezian St.) to Vitrage. It was a very narrow, steep, and windy way...I don't recommend. I couldn't even tell what street I was on as google didn't display streets once I was in the steep neighborhood. Instead we stayed on the main roads and google rerouted us. Also, you won't be able to drive right up to Vitrage. The closet you can get is to Ha-Bishop Square. You would have likely passed a Greek Catholic church to get there.

Which brings me to my fourth point.....PARKING!!!

I knew I was going to rent a car and drive to Vitrage so I messaged (on their website they have a chat bubble - never got a reply), emailed, and called to see if they have free parking. They're easier to get a hold of via phone. I was told yes. When I arrived, I was told that it is not safe to park in the square or alley around the Greek Catholic church. Instead, he directed us to a nearby parking lot within walking distance. We parked there after 2am and saw a ticket machine but it wasn’t on. When we got there in the morning (about sometime after 9am), the man (with limited English) told us that the cost was 24 hours 60 NIS, over 8 hours to 12 hours 45 NIS, 4-8 hours 30 NIS, and up to 4 hours 15 NIS. Because we couldn’t get a ticket the night before and were not parked for over 8 hours, we fought a little to not get charged the over 8 hour cost. I think he finally got fed up with us and let us pay 30 NIS. The parking prices were not ideal so we decided to park in the alleyway near the church for two nights. We saw another rental car park there too and nothing happened to either of our cars. We just made sure to have absolutely nothing in our car, even hats or empty bottles. My guess is that they don’t like to have guests park in the alleyways because people live in the buildings around Vitrage and other guest houses but even late at night there was some parking. Most residents reserve their parking spaces with metal bars that hang from the wall.

Overall, I got what I paid for but I wouldn’t stay there again if I’m in Nazareth. I picked them because they had better pricing than Fauzi Azar Inn and it was perk to have my own bathroom. They’re communication was so-so. It’s not the best and the worst.

Just a few things so you know what to expect!

No words are needed other than- there are false good ratings for this place!!
Had I known I wouldn't have paid over 100 shekels for such a place.
The bathroom faucet is not hooked up, the shower head fell on us as we took our shower, and the toilet never stopped making noises.
The rooms are small and a scaffold is outside the window so keys to your room won't do you any good in terms of keeping your belongings.
The entrance is a badly constructed joke, with things that had already should have been tauced aside.
This places only advantage is its location, everything else is terrible.
