Got 2 rooms ( one for my family and other for my parents). One for my parents rooms we waiting to check in at 10 pm and then that room didn’t have curtains and it smelled very baddd like something rotten. Very unpleasant hotel with smelly rooms.

10/10 Exceptional

We had an immensely enjoyable stay at the Dara Old City hotel. We received such a warm welcome and the staff were friendly, accommodating and incredibly helpful. The location is excellent, just a few minutes walk from the Hippodrome. The rooftop restaurant has lovely views and is the perfect place to unwind and watch the sunset after a busy day sightseeing. Would definitely recommend and we hope to return one day.

The stars of the hotel were the staff. Very friendly, knowledgeable and professional they always went the extra mile. Very clean room and great location all the main attractions within walking distance and great link for public transport. Very highly recommended this hotel. If I can give them more than 5 stars I would’ve done it 7⭐️

Thank you very much
Hi there, I enjoyed my stay at the hotel, the staff (sorry, I can't remember all their names) were extremely helpful to which they went out of their way whenever I had a query. I am hoping their Manager appreciates, values them in every way possible and rewards them with plenty of bonuses for all their efforts. The terrace was a fantastic view to see all the Masjids and the sea view. To all the Dara Hotel staff - Thank you very much once again and I apologise if I did not manage to say goodbye to all of you.
