Fodor's "Built in the early 1930s as part of St. Andrew's Church, the guesthouse is as much a retreat as a place to stay overnight—"feeling like you're home" is the way they like to put it." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This delightful hospice has large, simple bedrooms and a somewhat colonial atmosphere, which is not surprising since the all-stone building dates from the late 1920s."
Frommer's "Situated on a small hill... and surrounded by a garden with panoramic views of Mount Zion and the Old City, this guesthouse is only a few steps to buses to all points in town." Full review
National Geographic "The Church of Scotland owns this 1927 stone guesthouse and adjoining church originally built as a memorial to Scottish soldiers who died in the region during World War I. " Full review
