Rooms are pretty much what you would expect in a chain hotel and offer the usual - in-room safe, free WiFi, flat screen TV with numerous channels, video-on-demand (pay, but not expensive) - plus tea and coffee making facilities. One oddity is that the flooring is rather ill-fitting carpet tiles. Room cleaning is a bit perfunctory, but okay, although greater use could be made of the vacuum cleaner.
The restaurant appears to be open only for breakfast, which is mainly Middle Eastern in style. The chef can be hard to find and doesn't know how to scramble or fry eggs, but appears to be able to manage omelettes. Invariably something is absent from the buffet, but this varies from day to day: milk one day, bread the next, butter, olives, or even just serving utensils.
The bar and lounge staff are very good. The barman, by the way, can cook fried eggs - he sometimes has to step in when the chef goes missing. Unfortunately, the lounge is frequently used as a 'studio' for interviews by one of the local TV stations and cannot be used by guests. The so-called "all day dining" takes place in the enclosed terrace, which is where people sit with sheeshas chatting or listening to Arab / Lebanese pop. It can get a bit cool at night. There is a reasonable range of dishes on the menu and the prices are not too high. There is another restaurant attached to the hotel, Fakhr El-Dinh, which offers a broad range of Middle Eastern dishes and is more expensive.
