A very convenient location. Close to everything. Convenient stores are right across the street. A large medical clinic (Media Medical Center) with a variety of medical practices, a hospital and several pharmacies all within a walking distance. Even the famous al-Qala'a and it's busy streets and stores are within a walking distance or you can take a taxi depending on the weather. A 10-minutes walk from the bust Street 60, where two of the famous restaurants are located close by; Dilshad Restaurant and Farouk Restaurant. Tablo Mall and Royal Mall are about 4 or 5 kilo meters away where you find the local general stores Garrafour Store (fresh produce, clothing, household items, electric equipments...etc), and kids play areas in addition to many fashion stores. Taxis to and from hotel to these malls should not exceed 3000 Iraqi Dinars (about $1). The hotel is very simple. The 2-bedrooms, have a kitchenette that merely serve the purpose.

Hardboiled eggs, slices of cucumbers and tomatoes, tasty toasted samoon (Iraqi bread sprinkled with sesame seeds), Kirri cream cheese, Laughing Cow processed cheese, fruit, and nice strong coffee and tea. The place though very simple, it is clean and the staff are ready to fix whatever needs fixing at...

The air con however, couldn't get it to work, whether that was broken or dead batteries on the remote, noticed it before I left for the day, they managed to fix it.||||The room in general was in a very poor state, the only positive thing was the bed was clean, the requested towels smelled clean, but looked like a permanent...
Read moreIt's an okay hotel, they have a good reception but no good employees, also their prices are kind of acceptable. The breakfast is good and has some variety of foods also fruits. The room has big space and good furniture, the Electrical plugs near the beds were not working. The bathroom has some issues with the shower and the drainage system also some issues with the flushing. The fan in the bathroom was very noisy and doesn't work properly.
