Our room was comfortable and provided the necessary amenities, such as hair dryer, clothes line in shower, room safe, in-room refrigerator, wake up calls and even washcloths (which are not a given in Israeli hotels).

MoreThe Olive Tree was a nice hotel. The room could have used a bit of refreshing but the lobby area and bar were pleasant. The food was better than at the other hotels we stayed in while in Israel. There are 3 hotels close by and there was a crush of tour buses trying to get off every morning. We were with a tour group so it didn't inconvenience us too much but might be a problem trying to get a cab,etc

“Loved the old world charm of the lobby decor and abundance of beautiful flower displays!”
“The Place to stay in Jerusalem!”
The facilities are outstanding, the meals are some of the best ever. Pay attention to the theme of the nightly dinner. It is great time to relax with a group in the lounge. The shop in the hotel has great deals, also easy walking to Abraham's around the corner for some more great shopping.
