Great location, beautiful building, clean rooms, friendly staff, wonderful view to the old city and a fantastic breakfast. Walking distance from most visit destinations in the city, the hotel is located on the intersection of old and new Jerusalem. The Scottish church is adjacent to the hotel and is open.
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.

MoreThe hotel is a simple, well placed hotel, with an interesting history. It is within about 15 minutes of Jaffa Gate. The welcome is warm and the staff are friendly. My room, was clean, but humble. The church has a Sunday service at 10am, which sadly I was unable to attend. The hotel is not far from First Station, which was apparently the first train station in Jerusalem. There are various options of places to eat, amusement and a few shops.
Less“Comfortable Rooms”
Having stayed at St Andrew's many times over the past 25 years leading university students, we spent our last 2 nights of the our week in Jerusalem at this facility. The rooms are comfortable and simple with a nice breakfast. The lounge is quiet, relaxing and enjoyable while talking with new or old friends.
