At first the impression was not 100% but the friendliness of the staff made us feel very comfortable in the end. The location is breathtaking, although it is a steep hill to get up to from the Old City. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would not hesitate to recommend it to friends and family.

Worst stay..save your money.book with someone else
When I arrived no one was there and the doors were locked. after standing out side the hotel and calling several times someone finally came to the door where I was told they over booked so I was given there worst room 120..it was so bad even the manager apologized and said hopefully they could get another room the next day..I walked in to a room with trash on the floor a bed that had obviously been slept in, dirty toilet and sink with Mold Growing out of control around the tube..these conditions I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy the next day I begged the staff to switch and they finally changed me rooms to the other side of the hotel where the same conditions reappeared..except this time I could hear every car horn from the street ..because of these conditions I became Sick And was forced to leave the trip Of a life time. This hotel s a disgrace and should be condemned, the service is only equivalent to one word: useless. This was the greatest waste of money and resources of my entire trip. It is a shame and a travesty that establishments of this quality are allowed to advertise on Expedia, based off this experience I would never book with Expedia again or advise anyone to do so. This travel agency should have better vetted there hotel options in this region of the world before offering it as a safe, reliable and clean accommodations. This hotel needs to be removed from this listing at once to keep with the integrity of this travel agency. I stand behind every word !

Within walking distance of Old City.
Although the hotel was satisfactory for us, I definitely don't think it's a place where most Americans would want to stay. Everyone should know that it is in the Arab section of the city and is quite seedy by American standards. However, the staff were quite nice to us and, after our first initial shock, it seemed to be very safe and we felt secure all the time. It really is a beautiful setting with a beautiful view of the Old City. We think it is a good deal for the price, if you know all of the above.

A DUMP
This hotel is a dump. The guests should be paid to stay there. Our room was absolutely filthy. We did however have the housekeeping staff knocking on our door before 08.00 the next morning requesting entry to clean! We requested they came back later as we weren't dressed. The room was still filthy when we returned. The bedding left a lot to be disrired. Very rough sheets and dirty blankets. The bathroom was also a joke. No holder for the loo roll so it had to sit on the side of the bath or on the floor. We requested a room with a bath tub. The bath tub was very narrow, with a ledge type seat which left very little room for you to stand up/manoeuvre. My sister found bathing in this quite frightening as she was scared of falling. We requested a room at the back of the hotel so as to not be kept awake by the noise from the road. We were instead kept awake by the noise of the barking dogs and the mosque. There is very little in the way of facilities in the area. If we decide to visit Jerusalem again, we will definitely stay within the city.

Outstanding Location!
Wonderful Experience. Hotel is next door to Mosque of the Ascension, constructed on the site of a church built in 380 AD commemorating Christ's Ascension. It is also 100 meters from the Church of the Lord's Prayer (Paternoster), a five minute walk from the Garden of Gethsemane, and a 15 minute walk down the Mt. of Olives to the Old City. We had a wonderful time. Because the hotel is in "East Jerusalem" some Israeli taxi guides will refuse to go to "the other side of the tracks," or they will want to charge extra to get there. Find out before you get in the cab, if the taxi or sherut will charge extra to go to the Mt. of Olives. This obviously is a statement more about the taxi drivers than the hotel. Our family, four kids ages 6-11, had a great time staying there, and I would recommend it to all families on a budget and ready for a more cultural experience.

Great location
Friendly service. For a 2.5 star hotel we got what we paid for. Rooms were a good size and comfortable new beds and linen. They were basic but that is what I expected but they were clean. We spent hardly anytime there so we were not worried the too served a purpose. It was great as right by the Church of the holy ascension and they you could work your way down from the Mount of Olives to see the main sights in the old city. Some females may be intimidated by the local neighbour as it is an Islamic neighbourhood with mainly men on the streets but we as 2 females felt fine and people were very courteous and friendly towards us. For the price we paid a night inc of breakfast it was good value. The dinner you can get a 3 course home cooked (has to be requested that morning) is very good value for $15 pp and the breakfast buffet is typical of a breakfast in the Middle East which we loved as lots of choice and healthy options. Great service the staff were friendly and helpful. I would most definitely stay there again . The only one down side is it may be a little noisy for some if you get a room on the same side of the main road and there is a mosque right next door but the call for prayer at 5am is very short and did not really disturb us.

Budget hotel in great location - but noisy
First night transferred to 7 Arches Hotel which was good. Each night at the Mount of Olives Hotel it was very noisy, dogs barking, traffic noise and a very load Muezzin next door. Breakfast was very middle eastern, tea and coffee available free all day which was good. Very heavy traffic all day and evening as coaches go to view Jerusalem from near the 7 Arches Hotel. The area and road names have changed so don't rely on Them check out on Google Maps what they are if using Sat Nav.

Ok Hotel if your on a budget
Well the hotel isn't to bad wouldn't recommend it for families but ok if you don't mind roughing it a little. The staff are friendly and helpful however the food in the hotel isn't that great but then neither is the food that great anywhere in Jerusalem Old City. The Views from the hotel are very nice however be aware you are in a predominately Palestinian area and the locals weren't always that friendly. Restaurants around the hotel are dirty but a short taxi ride away near Jaffa gate you'll find a lot of nice restaurants and a more tourist friendly atmosphere, about twenty minutes walk. The thing about this hotel you need to keep in mind is if you have mobility problems like I do unless you want to get robed by taxis (who all seemed to be blaggers and thieves) you do have quite a steep climb. The "mount" kind of gives this away I thought there may be a bus but there isn't. Overall the hotel was good but location poor if your not on a budget stay near Jaffa gate!

Very noisy at night
At first, I thought Mount of Olives was ideal. Great location, great price, breakfast included. Great choice, right? WRONG! From the moment I was ready to leave the airport, this hotel was doomed for failure. The shuttle driver at Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv, would NOT bring me to the hotel. I couldn't understand why(I thought he was rude). But I was about to find out. Anyway, I got to the hotel at about 4PM, and the door was locked - I had to be buzzed in(in the daytime!). The man at the front desk(I think he was the owner of the hotel) was very sincere and the entire staff including housekeeping was also very sincere and professional. I was advised not to walk around especially at night(and I didn't). Furthermore, the first night there I was in the lobby surfing the internet, and hear yelling and shouting. I look and two people ready to fight are both restrained by hotel staff - in the lobby! The police came by a half hour later to cool things down. Then the next day another altercation although not as bad. But that was not all- for hours until very late at night horns consantly honking, people yelling in the street. It was so bad I didn't stay the final night of my 4 nights. I was so happy to leave. It's a shame this all came to pass- the people at the hotel were very nice. I do not recommend this hotel

Good Find
I was on a solo trip to Old Jerusalem. This hotel offered a very reasonalby priced, clean room from which to set out. Free breakfast was very nice. Facilities were somewhat tired; but rooms were clean. No elevator, but only two stories. Staff was helpful and bridged my lack of language skills. The view is fantastic from here. If you are walking, be aware of the 500 steps from the top of the Mount down to the bottom of the valley.
