    I thought the facilities could be better maintained. Maybe a coat of paint and a bathroom remodel.

    I was there during a difficult period, when war had broken out. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind.

    This was our third visit to Israel and staying at The Mount of Olives Hotel made our trip very special. The location is out of this world! The staff are super friendly and it was a most memorable stay

    The first room they put us in was not good. Twin beds, no air conditioning, beside the main road. It was noisy. We told them we'd be checking out after one night. 2nd night non refundable but we didn't care. We came back from dinner and they upgraded our room.

    The second room they put us in was great. Double bed, quiet, air conditioning, courtyard/balcony. The staff were very friendly and eager to ensure we were happy. I think we were the only foreign guests at this hotel.

    Great and friendly staff, tasty breakfast with various selections of local products. Location is great, 2 minutes walking from Pater Noster church, 10 minutes from Gethsemanie Garden, and aproxx. 20 minutes from Old City. Just keep in mind that hotel is located on the hill, therefore you have to climb that bloody mountain everyday ;D But the amazing panoramic view on the City walls and Dome of the Rock it's something that makes it much easier!

    construction on my balcony

    it was far enough away from craziness yet close enough with Ghett-I chose this place because it was close to Mt of Olives, where Jesus ascended and The Garden of Gesthemene..

    Location is hard to reach in public transportation. Using taxis in Jerusalem is expensive.

    Location has stunning access to the East Wall of Old Jerusalem, the Getsemani and the Church of Ascension.

    Initially we had booked the standard room, but it is really outdated, with a very old carpet that is dirty and with cigar smell. They are renovating the hotel and the premium rooms are nice. We upgraded and after that it was smooth. The breakfast really needs to be improved. There is no cheese, no ham, no scrambled eggs, a few fruits not cut, no fresh milk (only powder) and no coffee machine (just powder). They need to improve the breakfast in order to have more occidental guests. There is no service for food at the hotel but you can find some places to buy things.

    Location is amazing, the staff is really nice and try to help you. Special thanks to Youssef.

    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

    Helpful staff, clean room and bathroom

    Nice stay, far away from the busy Jerusalem

    There is a mosque very close and the speakers are pretty loud during the morning prayer. There is a small restaurant across the street. Better read the reviews before going there. The reception staff should be more welcoming to tourists, they need to learn more how business is done in tourism.

    Location on the top of Mount of Olives, in the Arabic neighborhood, so you need to take an Arabic bus/taxi to reach this spot. Climbing the road on foot on a sunny day is not easy. The room was very clean and nice. From my experience, it was better than other hotels in the same price range. (Of course, we are not talking about European standards)

    The cleaning staff used to rush me for cleaning at 7:45 to 8:45. I usually vacate the room at 9:30 in order to enjoy a good rest. Breakfast could be improved

    The bed was comfortable and the room very clean. The breakfast was okay but could be improved. The staff were nice. The location was good though a bit far from the city center but much closer to the Old City of Jerusalem.

    Nothing

    We stayed for 6 nights. Location was great to Old City, about a 20 minute walk. Staff where very helpful, we especially loved Mohammed the young man who worked in the kitchen, he was so helpful every day and so kind to us. He went out of his way to make sure we were OK. There were shops and restaurants nearby, with an ATM across the road Staff were also amazing when I found out the night before that the next day was Yom Kippur, and that all the roads, transport and borders would be closed. They helped me get hold of the border to see if it was open and also arranged transport for me to get there so I wouldn't miss my flight from. Amman in Jordan. We really enjoyed our stay, thankyou for everything
