This was a basic hotel but the service and the location made my stay. The front desk people were helpful and the breakfast was awesome and the price was excellent. I could see old Jerusalem from the room and it is within walking distance to Lions Gate and Via Dolorosa and Western Wall. Across the street is a nice rooftop... More

The Mt. of Olives hotel is a complex experience. Situated atop its namesake, the hotel is close to any number of the major attractions visitors to Jerusalem will want to see. The prices are reasonable, and the staff is great; with area knowledge, help arranging taxis, and a good grasp of English, as well as a few other languages, they... More

This hotel is situated up on the Mount of Olives in Arab East Jerusalem. Whilst not centrally located near the old town, every morning we got the #75 bus that dropped us outside Damascus gate within 10 - 15 mins for 5 NIS. Taxis at night back to the hotel cost us between 35 - 45 NIS from the centre.... More

This is a little known gem! I am a white American who felt completely welcome and safe at all times. PLUS the views from some hotel windows and even the sidewalk in front of hotel is spectacular. You can see east wall of Temple Mount area and 50% of golden dome (because new apartmnents close-by block the view. But you... More

We stayed for two nights. The reasons for choosing Mount of Olives hotel were the location and the price. The location is great with a superb view of the Old City. The staff is really professional, polite and helpful. Not even a tiny mistake from their side. The breakfast was interesting with local dishes. We had tea and coffee free... More

For those of you who worry - no, it is not dangerous here. If you like a beer or hard drink, bring your own... More

Friendly and helpful staff. The location is simply the best in Jerusalem... Fantastic view of hte city and unique atmosphere. The rooms are clean.

The hotel is located quite nicely on top of the Mount of Olives, and the breakfast was nice and large and very good value for money. However, when we arrived, our reservation had not been registered, although we had exchanged several emails and a confirmation from the owner. He had forgotten to pass it on to the reception apparently. We... More

If you are looking for an "earthy", inexpensive, alternative to US style hotels; this is the place. Great location for site seeing. The staff was reserved but friendly and helpful. Free wi-fi. Caters more to groups from less well off countries visiting the Holy Lands. But make no mistake, this is not a Holiday Inn. Clean, basic, local color. We... More
