Frommer's Review
Situated on a small hill, the banner of St. Andrew waving from its tower, 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. Rooms are simple but freshly renovated and spotless, and one ground-floor room is available for those with disabilities. There's a garden, sun porch, and pleasant lounge well stocked with reading material and a new dining room where you can make free tea or coffee all day. The building is adorned with beautiful examples of Armenian ceramic tiles from the 1930s, which were created by Jerusalem's famous Palestinian Pottery Workshop. The efficient and friendly Scottish staff offers a hearty evening dinner when groups are in. Sunbula, a nonprofit shop selling fine Palestinian embroidery and local crafts, is also on the premises, and the beautiful Jerusalem Cinémathèque is across the road.
Facilities:
Dining room; lounge; laundry service; Wi-Fi; 1 room for those w/limited mobility

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
