We stayed in April 2011 at Mount of Olives Hotel (MOH) for one night only, although we originally planned to stay for 9 nights. As we travelled with two children, we booked well in advance and asked to be given a "large family room", but on arrival were accomodated at a regular small one which can best be described as...

We chose this hotel as a base after having read reviews on trip advisor. The hotel is basic, unsophisticated and in a noisy & grubby arab area of West Jerusalem. The meuzin starts his ritualistic call to prayer at 5.00 am. The traffic noise with horns blaring subsides only marginally during the night. The dogs bark & howl and the... More

I stayed 16 days at The Mount of Olives Hotel. My first trip to Jerusalem really my first out of the states. The good: The staff for the most part is helpful and courteous. My room was kept clean. The breakfast which is included is amazing. There are computers to use and free wi-fi The owner is from the states... More

Nothing was too much trouble for the staff at the Mount of Olives Hotel. There is no AC but the wind howls around the building at night (in a pleasant way) which makes it cool. The neighbourhood is certainly noisy day and night and, yes, the call to prayer from the mosque can be loud, but I enjoyed the experience,... More

First, let me say, I've stayed here twice over the past few years. The fact that I came back can attest to the genial nature of the staff and fairly decent price. The location is great for those wanting to stay outside a tourist style hotel and experience some Palestinian culture. It's a quick walk to the best overlook of... More

The hotel is located on the top of the Mt. Of Olives which is in Arabic quater. Not so far away from the Old Town and really closed to many interesting places. But on the evening it is better to go to the hotel by taxi. Rooms are small and modestly furnished, but comfortable. There was buffet breakfast with huge... More

We booked Mount of Olives Hotel based on the recommendation of a traveler we met in Jordan. It was very sound advice. This is an older hotel that has clearly seen better days. However, it's unique location on the Mount of Olives provided great value for money. Our room had LCD satellite television, free Internet, a room safe, and hair... More

Good points about this hotel: - very helpful staff - modest prices - rooms are ok, with cable television but no air conditioning Bad points: - the surroundings are pretty noisy, with lots of cars passing in front of the hotel and, since the hotel is next to a mosk, you'll be awaken every morning at 5 a.m. by the...

We liked this hotel, but it lacked basic amenities. No shampoo, no coffee maker, two thin bars of soap. No maid service, which was fine, but a change of towels after three nights would have been nice. The WiFi didn't work. The twin beds which we pushed together kept sliding apart, so if you want to sleep next to your... More
