We stayed 4 nights and the feeling of rest, peace, and quality were abundant. Great food, early morning swims, and a very comfortable well appointed room made this an outstanding stay. The in house exhibition of the history of the church's on involvement with Tiberias is worth a look too.
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.

Can't recommend the Scots Guesthouse enough. We've been visiting it for years and it gets better and better. Staff can't do enough for you. Welcome is the warmest. Food outstanding. Rooms hugely comfortable. Peace reigns. Location can't be beaten. Even arriving at 4.30am after an overnight...
MoreCan't recommend the Scots Guesthouse enough. We've been visiting it for years and it gets better and better. Staff can't do enough for you. Welcome is the warmest. Food outstanding. Rooms hugely comfortable. Peace reigns. Location can't be beaten. Even arriving at 4.30am after an overnight flight wasn't a problem. And all on the doorstep of a very special church, built as a memorial for those who died in Palestine in WW1. Exciting times with the pending refurbishment - can't wait to return. Thank you to you all.

The welcome was heartfelt and continued throughout or stay. The food, staff and comfort was excellent. After a long exhausting day it was lovely to find quiet corners to sit, contemplate and pray for this beautiful torn country.. The staff were always there to help and answer our many questions
