This is a reasonable hotel; as an old hotel it has reasonably grand rooms. No real complaints but it did have a number of issues - electrical fittings not working and loud music till 2am on one night I was there plus no real facilities to speak of with breakfast served in the hotel bar rather than in a proper... more

We stopped for four nights at the Omayad both at the beginning and the end of our fortnight's holiday in Syria and were agreed that it was the best hotel that we had stopped in during our trip. We booked via email and our queries and booking were dealt with efficiently and in perfect English. Our rooms were spacious, comfortable... more

The hotel is situated about 15 mins walk from the souk & the old town. We stayed 3 nights on a group tour with Voyages Jules Verne, so couldn't comment on whether it was value for money, but we concur with most of the reviewers here on the nice rooms. There were wedding parties on 2 of the nights we... more

During my recent visit of Damascus, I have been convinced by this hotel. The personal attention made usy feel welcome. Our room was spacious, clear with high ceilings, well-isolated (which is important in Damascus) and with efficient climate control. Satellite TV, free internet access . This hotel is located in downtown Damascus, in a calm and clean neighborhood. but close... more

Located in the new city within a few minutes’ walk of the Museum, this hotel was better than other reviewers had led us to expect. Our spacious room had been recently renovated, with good air con, flat screen TV (with BBC, CNN etc) a huge, comfortable bed and a bathroom with separate walk-in shower. Staff were invariably polite and helpful.... more

I enjoyed everything at the hotel: great location, nice attendants, spacious rooms with high ceilings and charming. The price was a bit high (European standards) but it was a pleasant stay. If you are worried about noises (I am very sensitive and was worried because of other reviews), you can always ask the attendants they will find a quiet and... more

We went there for a couple of days for business purposes and all i can say is that it is a good located hotel with a terrible service and breakfast, value of money is null and the rooms are very outdated. there is a lot of noise and we couldnt sleep from hygne problem specially the covers. dont go for... more

Good solution for your stay in Damascus. The rooms are very large and clean, with excellent bathroom. Tha position is ok: ten minutes walking from old city. But IMO, the breakfast isn't at the same level of the hotel. It's poor...ok for a three star hotel, not ok for a four hotel...expecially because You must pay it separately! more

Stayed a couple of nights at the omayad paying about £75 per night for a large comfortable room on the third floor. DO NOT BOOK A ROOM ON THE THIRD FLOOR - you are directly under Bar z, one of the noisiest clubs in town with dance music pounding out until 2am- you will not be able to sleep! luckily... more
