Mount of Olives Hotel

Close to all the places I needed to go to

Feb.27 we left ISRAEL due to war. I called this hotel but no one pick up the phone. I emailed them no one respond. They still charging me even i didn't stay March 9-12. If you can stop the war go ahead and charge me. Until now 3-29-26 still i don't get any ans. RUDE!

Very bare bones. No chairs, no towels, no towel FIXTURES, no kettle (though it WAS delivered upon request). Hotel is clean, though permeated by the smell of cigarettes. Furniture is of surprisingly good quality, better than average. The parking situation is abysmal. Breakfast ends at 9 am sharp, and the staff did not see fit to warn us beforehand. So that’s unfortunate. Wouldn’t be as bad if there were many restaurants in the area, but there aren’t. We got a coffee and pastry from a nearby shop, then settled for instant noodles from the conquered kettle.

They kindly changed us to a room with a better view (Temple Mount). They also called a taxi for us to join an early morning tour, at a very reasonable price. We declined breakfast because we were joining an early morning tour, but they gave us a boxed breakfast to take home. You can't find a more accommodating hotel!! You can see the Temple Mount from the window. The atmosphere of the Church of the Ascension next door was great. The breakfast was delicious, with mint tea, hummus, vegetables, pita bread, cheese, yogurt, etc. Thank you very much.

Perfect location. Hot water, TV, Friendliness of staff

Good for pulgrims Personnel was very friendly, hospitable and helpful. Always ready to help.

I will be back!

Good, updated room with an excellent bed and excellent bathroom. Food was very good, although there was no variety day to day. Keep in mind, that if you are shopping in gift shops, most places list prices in US dollars or sometimes Euros. Thus, if you exchange money at the airport into the New Israeli Shekels. and pay with shekels, you will lose money on the conversion rate.
