As its name would suggest, this family-owned hotel occupies a prime spot atop the Mount of Olives, overlooking the Temple Mount and the Old City. The Mount of Olives Hotel dates back to 1960, originally built around the home of the owners (which these days has been turned into a bar). Popular with Christian pilgrims, the many New Testament holy sites on the Mount of Olives are essentially right outside the front door.

The accommodations are much in line with the other two-star hotels in the area: basic but cozy. Perks include free breakfast in the dining hall every day and, happily, hotel-wide wireless Internet. The real attractions, though, are the commanding Old City views and the easy proximity to the holy sites of the Mount of Olives and the Old City.
