St Andrews Guest House

I have been staying here off and on when in Jerusalem for 22 years and they never fail to bless me! I consider it my home away from home! They are very accommodating, friendly and helpful! Very hospitable and lovely ambiance!!! I especially appreciate so many lovely places to sit, talk, worship and pray while in the garden or on the terrace!

Peaceful Paradise with Lovely Staff The St. Andrews Scots House is a lovely environment. From the moment you see the sign in the middle of a busy intersection, you enter into a secluded garden that leads up to this very special house. Beautiful high ceilings in the whole building. A warm, graceful lounge plays soothing music. The staff really enjoy working here to make the guests happy. They make you feel like family. Many thanks to Tony the manager and his wonderful staff for keeping the breakfast open after normal hours. So special. Highly recommend.

When a hotel is usually a hotel with typical hotel stuff, hotel things and hotel atmosphere, this is something on different level of hoteling, its more of a house with great character built in, from the historical building, to the old original and yet new interiors, to the amazing great hotel staff and management services. Lets talk about the rooms, I got a great room with a nice city view and its a balcony you can enjoy the city view with a nice drink and relax if you don't want to stay in room, as you see in the photos. The bath room super clean and neat with the new designs and renovated, comfortable beds and pillows, also there was tea and coffee in the room which was nice, and most importantly the joy of the space of this house. Just walking around the hotel, inside out its a very joyful time, from the old almost ( I dunno maybe 70s bar look a like ) , to the lobby, and they have great garden where you can enjoy drinks and food as well, outdoors bar and restaurant of the hotel. The breakfast was very good, they make fresh eggs your style, nice selection of cheeses, bread, salads, and more to start your day fresh. Location is close to a nice place called ( the old train station ) where used to be train, which is now full of cafes and restaurants and some bars, and small walking distances, you can be in a very luxury mall called Mamilla and also around the city center for all your need to discover the city. Over all, as me, an artists and a fashion photographer, this place is more than a hotel, its such a beautiful place full of character and love and joy inside out, for me, this place is like food, I love to do some film and fashion projects cause for real creative people and artists this place to make such great plan for. I very recommend this place from my experiences in the hotel industry as frequent flyer, and stay in many hotels a lot, its comfy, relaxing, joyful surrounding, lovely, staff and management, nice and helpful, and most importantly it got the soul of beauty. Weather you want to stay a day or 4, you will enjoy it, and looking forward to experience it again.

Delightful stay with a group of 16 people. Ibrahim made sure we all knew the WiFi passcode for a special internet our group could use. This boutique hotel is just outside the old city with easy walking distance to the Temple Mount and across from the precious trendy old railroad station. Wadi, our chief prepared a leg of lamb to die for. Scrumptious!!! Definitely a great place to stay in Jerusalem

We enjoyed our stay and front desk help.

The location is perfect! The appearance of the premises is noble, beautiful plants! Parks nearby! Peaceful! Closed to the old city of Jerusalem, possible to reach a lot of attractions by foot. The receptionist was very informative, helpful, attentive. Breakfast was good. Could be more fresh fruits but it’s just my taste. The lemonade was very good! To my opinion the hotel needs some refreshing. In short words: I was very satisfied.

A very clean property that was located a bit off the beaten path. Very easy walk to the Railway Station for dining options. While it is possible to walk from the property to the old city, we opted to take taxis due to the heat and terrain.

Staff at reception desk were very helpful. The guesthouse is lovely. My only complaint is that there is no elevator and we had to carry heavy luggage up 3 flights of stairs.
