Reviews

• Paul from Saudi Arabia (10/10)

  We stayed in the Jokhdar property which has been beautifully recovered to capture the history of the past while providing the luxury and comfort expected of a high end boutique hotel. From the warm phone call the day before arrival to confirm details; to the welcoming greeting on our arrival from the staff including the General Manager Milica who shared the wonderful history of the home and its renovation, we realized it would be a truly unique experience. Over the 3 days we experienced two different suite styles including one of the bedrooms in the Jokhdar Royal Suite and then the Jokhdar Deluxe Suite. Both were breathtaking rooms with high attention to details capturing the history while decorated in extremely tasteful furnishings. The thought to assuring comfort and modern conveniences was also appreciated (eg power recharges for iPhones/ipads, Bose audio speaker), the air conditioning was perfectly controlled, very comfortable beds and the breakfast was delicious and provided an experience in itself. We were assigned a “butler” named Zak who was very pleasant and fully attentive to our needs. Yet the whole team from the delightful Wissel who showed us the other homes (highly recommend touring the other 2 homes) and assured our dinner reservations at an outside restaurant, to the wait staff who served us breakfast, to the kind gentlemen who welcomed each entrance and drove us around on the golf cart, collectively demonstrated the strong team focus on assuring a quality experience unique to each guest. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a luxury retreat in an amazing boutique hotel that captures the history and cultural beauty that made the area a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

• Junko from Japan (10/10)

  I was impressed by the hospitality of the staff.
  I went out to tell them that the pastries they served me at check-in were delicious.
  When I returned, they had left them in my room.
  All the food at the hotel was delicious.
  They also gave us all sorts of advice to make our stay and after check out pleasant.
  
  All of the hotel's facilities were lovely and made for a wonderful stay.

• Zafer from United Kingdom (10/10)

  After a harrowing experience with a different hotel that completely abandoned me, I turned as a last-minute booking. I can’t express how relieved I was when I arrived here.
  
  From the moment I walked in, the staff welcomed me with genuine warmth and kindness, immediately easing the stress I had been carrying. The check-in process was quick and efficient, which was such a blessing after my previous ordeal. Walking into my room felt like a huge sigh of relief—everything was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described.
  
  This hotel not only provided me with a safe and cozy place to stay but also restored my faith in both hospitality and Booking.com. After feeling lost and frustrated, my experience here reminded me that there are still places that truly care about their guests.
  
  I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and welcoming place to stay. Thank you for being a true lifesaver and for restoring my trust in the hotel experience!

  This area in balad is upcoming and the ministry is putting their best foot forward by revitalising these historic areas. OLD IS GOLD.
