Mount of Olives Hotel

Position, view

Clean

The hotel is located on top of the Mount of Olives, a few steps away from the Chapel of the Ascension, a few dozen meters away from spectacular views of the Old City, and a few hundred meters away from the Garden of Gethsemane. The view from my room was spectacular. The staff were very kind and friendly, and the price was unbeatable ... although if you walk from Old Jerusalem, you really have to earn this discount... it's quite an uphill trek. Worth it if you ask me, but maybe it's not for everyone -- although you can take a bus or taxi. I found the place and its surroundings to be really cool and authentic, which -- and I understand that for some people this could be an inconvenience -- brings with it quite a bit of noise (mosque next door, lots of traffic, etc.) and less-than-clean streets. But I knew this in advance and it never bothered me. (I travel with earplugs.)

very convenient bus stop was nxt to the hotel door. The restaurant near are so good with very good prices and great taste.

staff members were so nice and helpful.

Helpful staff, clean room and bathroom

We booked a double bed and were given a twin room instead, the way to the hotel is quite steep if on foot and there is not much around, the overall conditions of the hotel are OK but the structure is quite old

close to most churches in mount olives has a scenic view of old city jerusalem

none

All was good

Traffic noise at night

Yusuf and Walid were very helpful. They made sure we were very satisfied with every aspect of our stay. Everyone was happy with the room, beds, view, breakfast, cleanliness and general positive attitude of the staff. They even helped us take a tour.

I only wish I could of stayed longer in this hotel but alas, I had to travel back to Jordan.
