Citadel Hotel, Palmyra, Syria - Recommended Accommodation on Waymarking.com

When my taxi driver decided to bring me to this hotel I was not happy. I had a recommendation, actually, a booking, made by a Syrian friend in some other hotel, but it was impossible to communicate with the drivers so I let it happen. Good that I did.

The hotel is really budget. Which is OK, I don't care at all. Then, people were so nice there, the price was so cheap (about 8 Eur for a double bedroom with toilette) and the location was so great that I feel I couldn't had any better in Palmyra. Even the view from the bedroom window was great (see picture), directly to the ancient site.

There is no restaurant, but the lounge has tables and you can order food. Basic things, like humus and kebabs, but they were yummi!

I was probably the only guest in the hotel, as I visited Syria in difficult times, when few other foreigners dared to travel there. Good for me! I had the whole Palmyra for myself.
