מלון שבע הקשתות

Sitting on the mount of olives, this hotel could be so much better. The views of old jerusalem from the hotel are spectacular! The breakfast and evening meals were acceptably average. However the rooms are disappointingly tired with very limited english TV channels ie CNN and a barely audible BBC news channel. Such a shame they cant make the scrub-land around the hotel into a pleasant garden to sit in - especially as the rooms have no balconies. Nowhere even to buy a snack or drink outside of breakfast and evening meals! We were here as part of a tour for four nights. So once you have been dropped off mid afternoon from your tour, you are limited for resources until your evening meal! Look for another hotel if you can......

So the view is lovely outside the hotel but there are a lot of things that weren't great, The lift goes to the first floor only with some steep stairs to haul your luggage up if you're on the 3rd floor, we were, & no assistance from staff. Air conditioner wasn't working in the hotel which was a shame & I appreciate these things happen but when it's 45 degrees outside and you've been out all day to come into a hotel that's sweltering it’s horrible, especially when you're there 4 days. The breakfast buffet was awful. There are cereals & bread but the bread didn't make it around the toaster and caught fire every time. Dinner buffet was better but still not good. Room service overall good but no replacement paper cups, creamer or coffee on day 2 of stay, but you could go to restaurant and get them yourself. Bedroom had a lumpy brown mark on wall on arrival & it remained there. One pillow had no pillow case on it. Staff in restaurant disinterested and not friendly.They say they have a bar, they do, but its permanently shut. You have to order drinks at the table with your food.Double glazing doesn't seem to keep noise out, very noisy in evening with traffic and people.The good bits, air conditioner in the room was very good thank goodness but we didn't come on holiday to sit in our room all evening, but very grateful it worked in bedroom as we could sleep at night. There was a safe, a small fridge & a kettle. I'm trying to be fair it's hard to please people but I wouldn't return
