St Andrew’s Scottish Guesthouse

Jerusalem


A lofty location and a stone exterior combine to give St Andrew's an edifying air. Accommodation has a school-dormitory feel, but rooms are sizeable, with high ceilings and surgically clean bathrooms, and Scottish flavour has been infused throughout (including generous use of tartan). More expensive rooms include balconies; ask for room 1 for spectacular views towards the Old City.

All rooms are equipped with kettles and safety deposit boxes.
