Olive Tree Hotel

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.

Big hotel in a good location, but in need of maintenance. Carpets, furniture and bathroom need some work. Included Breakfast was decent but not that good. Staff was pleasant but not very helpful. It is a 20 minutes walk to old city which makes it very convenient.

The hotel is located in a convenient location close to the light rail and within 15 minutes of the Damascus Gate on foot. We stayed at the hotel for 6 nights and on one occasion I came back to find my door was not shut properly, I always double check that my door is locked, so can only assume the housekeeping staff didn't pull the door shut firmly enough. The hotel rooms are very dated and in desperate need to renovating as can be seem in the photos I've attached. We ate at the hotel for breakfast and dinner for the six nights we stayed at the hotel and the buffet spread was pretty good, although I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't any gluten free bread options available at breakfast. I don't know what the room rate is normally as this was booked through a tour company, but I'd be happy to stay here again despite the very poor room state if the room rate is not obscenely expensive.
