Saint Mark's Lutheran Guest House

Nice little hotel in the Old City

We were lucky enough to get the room at the end with the view of the Dome of the Rock (thank you, jadedmuse!!!). The beds were comfortable and the sounds of birds so peaceful in the morning. The guest house had a nice breakfast set up and you could have coffee or tea at anytime in the common area. Every evening as we headed to our room, there was a group gathered together in the common area to talk about their day.

From their website: This famous house was built on crusader foundations in 1860 by the legendary Dr. Watson and retains ancient stones from the 12th century and probably before. In 1948 it was donated to the Order of St. John, who used it as an eye hospital. In 1964 it was turned into a guest house by the Lutheran Church.

Unique Quality: Be mindful of your bath towels. We were not aware there would be no housekeeping one day and had already used our towels and thrown them on the floor. We had to do laundry anyway, so we washed the towels, too!
