Where to stay in Efrat and Gush Etzion

There are no hotels in Efrat or the Gush; places to stay are guesthouses, campsites and tzimmerim, most listed by the Gush Etzion tourism body (accommodation (נפתח בכרטיסייה חדשה)). See them all on Where to stay.

In Efrat itself

Two small options are listed in Rimon, walking distance from shuls and the Te'ena shops: Efrat Bed and Breakfast (3 rooms, up to 5 people) and Tzimmer HaKramim (a couple plus children) (B&B (נפתח בכרטיסייה חדשה), tzimmer (נפתח בכרטיסייה חדשה)). For a Shabbat simcha in Efrat these are the closest listed places.
