Saint Mark's Lutheran Guest House

The most beautiful, atmospheric place to stay in the Old City (and perhaps in all of Jerusalem), this well-run guesthouse occupies a series of restored stone buildings and terraced gardens overlooking the main bazaar, a 4-minute walk from Jaffa Gate. Here, guests can experience the atmosphere inside the Old City walls from a secluded oasis that has breathtaking views of the Dome of the Rock. Rooms (renovated in 2003) are of Jerusalem stone and simply furnished but comfortable; most bathrooms have showers only. The site is shared by, but separated from, the Evangelical Lutheran Hostel. Although this part of the Old City, bordering the Jewish Quarter and the Jaffa Gate, is safe, a drawback for some might be the idea of walking to the guesthouse at night. Visitors of all backgrounds are welcome. Free coffee and tea are served. Call for directions before arrival and arrange a baggage porter to meet you.
