Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a cozy stay with a sufficient mattress in the rooms, but the shower showed signs of rust. The minute bathroom was a bit cramped. The service could benefit from further training in customer service, though amenities like dry cleaning, housekeeping, welcome drink, and tours/ticket assistance were available. The location, right by the river, showcases a unique experience with the convenience of transportation. Dining included tasty dishes, enhancing the overall experience. However, the hotel may need some refurbishment work by the Manager.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the twin beds were narrow and the shower showed signs of rust, the Lodge annex lacked air conditioning, but on the bright side, the bed was very comfortable. The hotel offers value for money, especially considering the cozy bed in the Lodge annex.
The Lodge annex had narrow twin beds with a spacious shower cubicle, facing the car park with no air conditioning. The hotel could benefit from more training in customer service, though services like dry cleaning, housekeeping, welcome drinks, and tours/ticket assistance were available. The location is convenient as it is right on the river bank in the 'Annexe' area, with easy access to the city center by boat or bus. Dining options included fresh and local products. Overall, a decent stay with a few room-related drawbacks and service improvement opportunities.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The Lodge annex room I stayed in was comfortable and clean, but the lack of air conditioning was a downside. The view from the room was nice, although the bathroom was quite small.
The hotel offers cozy and well-sized rooms with a spacious shower cubicle, albeit facing the car park. The service could use some improvement in customer interactions, but it does provide dry cleaning, housekeeping services, a welcome drink, and assistance with tours and tickets. The location is convenient for river transportation to popular destinations like Ba'ath and the city center, either by boat or bus. The dining experience is inclusive and features the delicious guava jam. The facilities are practical and sufficient for a comfortable stay.
