The hotel is ideally situated close to the Al Batha'a metro station and there are some restaurants and plenty of grocery shops around. I did not have enough time to explore but I heard there are many things around the hotel to check out. Overall I would recommend the hotel, they have a business center, a beautiful and cosy lobby with a cafe."
