In the heart of the German Colony, Saint Andrews is historical, quiet, and very pleasant. Close enough to the city centre. Breakfast is good from 7 am to 9.30 am. From the cleanliness of the room, to the professionalism and kindness of the staff-> I will come back.
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.

The breakfast is amazing. I have a lot of food sensitivities and found plenty to eat every morning for breakfast. Lots of fresh salads and vegetables, fruit, homemade jams and good quality yogurt. I could have stayed longer.

MoreThe hotel is in a beautiful old building adjacent to St. Andrews church with a bit of space around. You get a good view of parts of the old town and you can reach it in 15 minutes on a enjoyable walk through parks. It is quiet in the evening/at night until in the morning the sultry drivers start honking. There is parking which saves you a lot of nerves and you can also leave your car there and walk to several good restaurants, even within 5 minutes. The rooms are comfy, the showers quite good, the staff are friendly and helpful. There are great terraces and some space to sit outdoors in the evening to reminisce about your journey or plan the next day, or just relax. I was a bit disappointed about the breakfast choice, I see room for improvement there (more fresh fruit, maybe a bit more choices for contintental breakfast). Also, we always had to ask for replenishment, the staff might want to be a bit more attentive to what has run out at the buffet. Then, I have already been to cleaner rooms, it was not off-putting, but not super-clean either. However, I think with regard to the price it is a good choice.
