We selected St. Andrew's Scottish Guesthouse based on the number of positive reviews but we had a horrible experience. We checked in on September 6th for three nights and were assigned room 218 which is on the ground floor directly behind the reception office. The bedroom had NO windows at all and the bathroom had a window that we kept... more

Our family of five (two parents and 3 teenaged boys) all greatly enjoyed our stay. We reserved the apartment which had two bedrooms, two large couchs and a fabulous terrace that overlooked the Old City. Breakfast was well done, and the hotel is an easy walk to wonderful restaurants and the Jaffa Gate. We will definitely stay here again! more

With all the experiences we had in Jerusalem, The Scottish House is at the top. Ramzi, Ibrahim, David and everyone there will help make your stay and daily activities an effortless joy. Leave your window open and the birds will wake you in time to watch the sun rise and easily make it to breakfast. This is an event you... more

I stay at the Scottish guesthouse every time I come to Jerusalem (been there more than 10 times) and it has always been great. The rooms are simple- it's a guesthouse- but most are spacious and some are really lovely. Breakfast has great choice of food. Public areas old fashioned with unique atmosphere. The rooms with the view looks toward... more

Quite different from the typical hotel, in that it is an old building directly attached to a "Scottish" church. The staff seem to be Christian Palestinians. Rooms are spacious enough, have aircon and have a private bathroom. There is good storage space and coffee + tea making facilities. Hot water, for showers, does take a while to arrive, but it... more

St Andrew's Scottish Guest house is a clean, simple guest house in a central location in Jerusalem. It is within around 5 mins walk of the King David hotel, and 10-15 mins walk from Jaffa gate. It has wonderful views of the Old City and Mount Zion across the valley. The rooms are basic but comfortable, they all have ensuite... more

Stayed here for 3 nights just after Christmas/prior to New Years. Great value for price; building interesting; rooms perfectly adequate (twin room, good light/casement windows; shower in bathroom); fine buffet breakfast. Room heating was fine! Towels could have been a bit fluffier but I was thrilled by the price! Location is phenomenal just a short stroll (5-10 minutes) to the... more

When you book for three nights at a hotel or hostel, yet only stay for one night, you know that there is something a little wrong. Arriving in Israel during the Bush visit and a spell of particularly cold weather, I expected to be warmth by traditional Scottish hospitality. Instead, I received a frosty welcome and freezing room/cell and a... more

St Andrews has everything to recommend it: lovely building, great location (close to the Old City and German Colony's stores and restaurants), great terrace with a view, clean though simple rooms, parking, and the lovely Sunbula craft shop (don't forget to visit). Not to mention the extremely reasonable rates. The only big problem was the shower-hot water took a while,... more
