We stayed here for the fourth time and we're looking forward to coming back again. The Scots is located in an unique location, viewing the Old City. the characteristic building radiates an atmosphere of history. The people are very friendly; reception, restaurent and cleaning staff all together. Strongly recommend!
St. Andrews Scottish Guesthouse
About St. Andrew’s Scottish Guesthouse
St. Andrew’s Scottish Guesthouse (some refer to it affectionately as “The Scottie”) is a quaint getaway down the road from Jerusalem’s First Station (the renewed old train station), and facing the walls of the Old City. It is set inside the historic St. Andrews Church which was built in the late 1920’s as a memorial for the Scottish soldiers killed in World War I.
The Scottish Guesthouse provides guests with a warm Christian welcome and traditional Scottish hospitality, offering 19 rooms, some of which are family-sized. Many of the rooms have balconies facing the Old City; others offer views of the church’s secluded garden. Wireless internet and parking are free for guests.
The guesthouse is within walking distance of the Old City and Jerusalem’s hip shopping district in the German Colony, on Emek Refaim Street. And just a 20-minute walk uphill and you’re at center city’s Ben Yehuda Street.

MoreThis was my first visit to Israel. I chose this hotel because of its distinct architecture and convenient location (only a 10-minute walk to the Old City of Jerusalem). Our room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast each morning was very generous with lots of freshly baked breads/pastries, a nice variety of local fruit, and the best capuccinos ever! The staff was quite helpful in arranging a dinner reservation at a nearby restaurant (Cafe Asia) and my taxi to the airport. The only small drawback is that there is no elevator in this hotel. Overall, I had a most pleasant stay and definitely recommend this place.
