Guests can choose from a wide variety of room types, including Standard, Superior, Deluxe, and multiple Suite options with city, balcony, or pool views.

4 Days and 3 Nights here and the accommodations were beyond my expectations. The service was impeccable and everyone was so polite and helpful. As for the dining…the food was sensational! Such a variety from Breakfast to Supper and nothing disappointed! The honeycomb dripping with honey was something I’ve never seen before and I loved it! I would recommend this Hotel to anyone choosing to stay in Jerusalem.
12.03.2026 Guest
Was there with a Educational Oppertunities Tour, a phenominal experience. room was cozy. Location was on point close to all markets and sites. The food was top notch. Who knew kosher wasnt bland? :) hope to visit again. Oh, need to add, if you go in the winter, expect the heat to be on, even in the high 60s

Where to start?
Our room was from the 1950’s and felt very dusty and had a very strong smell. We also didn’t have enough towels for everyone and we were told there weren’t any available.
The lobby is very dark, and they kept turning off the AC in the lobby and in the dining room while there were two Shabbat Chatan with over 200 people sweating and suffering from the heat.
To add to everything, one of the owners of the hotel came and screamed at us, told us our children were animals and we didn’t know how to educate them, then looked at my sister screamed at her telling her to not even look at him!
Not sure where this person is but this is Israel not Afghanistan, women have rights!!

It was all OK
06.01.2026 Guest
Climate control in the room is limited to either cool or heat. We were on the 7 th floor and sweat all night. Rooms are small and old and in need of refreshment. Positive is the soaking tub. Great location.

So far, an excellent stay. No complaints at all.
04.08.2025 Jennifer
The room was clean and pretty, the bed was very comfortable, the food was delicious, and the service was friendly. We had a wonderful stay here with very fond memories made back in September 2023 and would definitely stay here again.
03.06.2025 Guest
We enjoyed our three nights here; the hotel is in an excellent location, within walking distance of the old city. I think we were in one of the rooms that is awaiting renovation — I have no complaints about it, but it did seem in need of updating. Overall, it was a pleasant place to stay and does a good job of offering the services you expect in this type of hotel.

Olive tree hotel - i came here with a group for 4 days in May’25. The group leader said this was a 5-star hotel, but I’d see that for European standards it’s 3-star at best:
- room ample for double-occupancy, but superdusty —if you suffer allergies be ready to sneeze & cough
- Bathtub rusty
- No reg coffee sachettes in room (only decaf coffee & tea)
- Left a hanger on the bed before leaving room. Found it on the floor when i returned
- Only 1 coffee machine in breakfast room for over 150-200 pax
- I had to “repair” breakfast coffee machine (empty trash container) bcs staff would not do it —so we would not have coffee
- In any case, machine coffee seems to be decaf, because after 4 shots of espresso, you can still not feel the kick
- Only “warm” (room temp) red wine at table for meals. If u want white wine you have to ask x it & the petition needs to go up the waiters’ ladder to be approved (it takes a few minutes)
- other than that, staff friendly & helpful
Now for pros….
- Close to the old city , 15 mins walk to Damascus Gate
- 4 good elevators, ample & fast ; 1 regular during shabbat hours
- Working air con
- bathroom water pressure very good
- Room gets done everyday & towels/toiletries refreshed —but obviously not dusted/vacuum
- Good & abundant breakfast & meals
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
Think about what you would like to know if you were looking for a review about a place to relax. Please describe in detail what you liked and what you didn't. What would you advise to other guests and to the hotel owner. The more fully you tell about the hotel, the easier it will be for other people to make a choice and they will be very grateful to you!
