Superb Luxury hotel in karbala, Iraq with excellent customer service. The rooms are very well equipped with superb beds, iron + board, powerful shower, fridge, TV and kettle. Slippers amenities sewing kits etc all available Safe was in the wardrobe and easy to use. Full board package includes breakfast 7:00-9:30, lunch 1:00-3:00 and dinner 19:00 - 21:30 Menu changes daily and includes both local dishes and international dishes, snacks and range of drinks are excellent and staff diligent. The gym to the hotel is well equipped open for women during the day until 19:00 and then for men until midnight. There is a large indoor swimming pool with x2 jacuzzis, sauna, cold water rain shower. The Haram of Imam Hussien is a short walk away but the hotel also provides a speedy on demand buggy service to transport travellers to and from the holy shrines when needed. I would recommend the management alternate the gym opening times so that men have the option of using the gym during the day at least a few days per week. Excellent customer service skills and a fantastic front of house team who are always willing to help. Bear in mind the Hotel take cash payment and there is a limit on how much you can withdraw from Iraqi ATMs. Despite this the staff were very helpful with solving any issues.
