The reason to stay at Sultan Hotel is for their helpful assistance and front desk services. I arrived in Damascus in the early evening and within about thirty minutes they had set me up with a rental car beginning that very day, with full insurance, for about 50 USD a day. The front desk staff speaks very good English and... more

Of all the hotels visited in Syria, Sultan gave the best value for money and unsurpassed service when it came to travel arrangements and any difficulties that might occur. English speaking staff is fully dedicated to help you with anything you might need, free of charge. Travel tours and taxi rides arranged by Sultan are fairly priced. Okay, the rooms... more

The rooms are clean, some with aircon, and safe. The hotel is well located as well, only 5 - 10 mins walk to the old town. This hotel will never set... more

We stayed twice in May in a triple room. Rooms/bathrooms were small but clean. The location is great - easy walk to the souk. The staff were incredibly helpful, they even came with me to help me find a shop which sold sim cards, and made sure that I was charged correctly. I would recommend this hotel for independant travellers,... more

This place is just perfect for a budget traveller...centrally located and the room was clean with hot shower and the price was just unbelievable ($24/day).

The hotel is centrally located so you can easily walk to most everywhere you'll want to go... more

I stayed at the Sultan for a few days and had a great time. It's definitely the most intersting place to stay in Damascus, and the best deal. The location is unbeatable, the staff are extremely nice, the decor sets a great ambience, and the rooms are basic but tidy. Also archeologists often stay here on their way to digs,... more
