A precisar de uma grande intervençao
Pros:

Da simpatia dos funcionarios e localização

Cons:

O primeiro quarto que nos atribuiram era escuro e tinha apenas uma janela minima com vista para os telhados de zinco nas traseiras. No dia seguinte trocaram-nos para outro virado para a frente. Com mais luz. A decoração é pesada, e apesar de ter peças antigas e bonitas, estão mal enquadradas. As janelas não possuem rede mosquiteira para se poder arejar o quarto e porque há muitos mosquitos, optávamos por deixa-la sempre fechada. Algumas toalhas já gastas e com buracos de desgaste e o mesmo com os lençois e fronhas (com o fecho estragado). Devem colocar um suporte para o sabonete das mãos. Ficava acente no tampo da mesa. A limpeza do.quarto requer uma profunda atenção porque tinha teias de aranhas. O pequeno almoço podia variar. É sempre o mesmo (2 opções) e para quem fica alguns dias, torna-se cansativo.

Pros:

Забронировали этот отель по совету подруги, турагента по Африке. Не плохая задумка. Отель в центре города, интересная обстановка. Достаточно быстро заселили. Номер большой. Есть кондиционер, два потолочных вентилятора. Один стул, хотя номер двухместный. Доступ к интернету дали при заселении. Интересная душевая.

Cons:

Местами мебель очень уставшая. Кран в санузле просто лежал на раковине. Чтоб закрыть кран нужно приложить усилия, но можно было и сорвать резьбу. Сейф не работал. Когда вернулись в номер после прогулки - зайти не могли, карта не срабатывала, на ресепшене дали другую карту. При раннем выезде дали ланч-бокс с яйцами хлебом и круасаном, было не очень вкусно и сухо. В целом, вроде бы и не плохо, но в следующий раз выберем другой отель.

Pros:

The location of the hotel and the staff.. loved the pool area as well which is outside the hotel..

Cons:

There's need for thorough cleaning especially of bathrooms with disinfectants on the drainage areas. Additionally they could be more variety foe breakfast and it'd be better if it's buffet. TV was not working in all our rooms 1st stay and 2nd stay some aircons were not functioning as well.

Nice Hotel with historic boutique design features and good furniture but the tech, is bad.
Pros:

Beyt Al Salaam is part of the Spice Tree Group so the service is professional. The Rooms are clean and the beds soft 4 post design. The Arab decor throughout.

Cons:

The Tv didn't work despite being set up by the helpful room attendants, the sound then picture failed. There is irregular discord between the stream box and Tv and aerial connection. It needs a total upgrade? The Wifi internet signal is also irregular.

Emplacement de l’hôtel est parfait pour circuler dans la vieille ville de façon sécuritaire.
Pros:

Personnel affable, courtois et souriant.
Chambre spacieuse et lit confortable.

Cons:

Hôtel situé dans un vieil édifice. Il y a une odeur de vieux bois à l’entrée qui n’est pas climatisée. Mais dans la chambre, aucune odeur notable. Il n’y a pas d’ascenseur mais les employé.es vous aideront à transporter vos valises.

Wonderful location but otherwise disappointing and not worth the price.
Pros:

A couple of the staff were nice, friendly and helpful, but others poorly trained and not up to the job.

Cons:

Stayed for 10 nights in superior room. Breakfast is really poor, extremely slow service and terrble coffee. Took 24 hours to get a bath mat and 48hrs to get a hand towel. Bath towels threadbare. Privacy curtain missing in one window. Room key card continually needs to be changes (annoying when you’ve walked up 2 floors and have to go back to rection).The place is in dire need of love and money.
