    helpful staff
    handheld showerhead issues

    The staff was incredibly helpful, ensuring our

    Stay was smooth and enjoyable. The hotel is within walking distance of major attractions, making it easy to explore the city. the handheld showerhead could use some improvement, as it leaked and had low water pressure.

    large room
    modern lighting
    hilly access

    Reasonable price for large, modern accommodations with great lighting. Convenient access to local attractions like the Blue Mosque and other historic sites within a short walking distance.

    AC controls are limited, only allowing you to set it on or off without temperature adjustment. The uphill walk back to the hotel can be cumbersome after a long day, especially with heavy luggage, and public transportation access involves planning a taxi given the steep incline.

    friendly staff
    noise disturbances
    thin walls

    Could this be the unicorn we’re all looking for?

    Superb location with historic attractions like the Blue Mosque and local eateries nearby. The staff’s friendliness made our stay enjoyable and welcoming.

    Thin walls resulted in noise disturbances from neighboring rooms, affecting a peaceful night's sleep.

    The location is perfect for exploring the old city. with stunning views from the balcony. The staff were incredibly helpful, providing local insights and tips. and the clean facilities added to the comfort of our stay.

    The uphill walk back from the tram station can be challenging. especially with luggage.

    stylish vibe
    cozy bed
    board games
    cramped bathroom

    I loved the stylish vibe of the hotel and the king-size bed made my nights super cozy. The lounge area was a perfect spot to unwind, and they had a nice selection of board games to play with friends. Just a heads up, the bathroom was a tad cramped, but that didn't take away from my awesome stay. 😊

    good location
    comfy bed
    nice staff
    thin walls
    climbing with luggage

    the hotel is super well located, like really close to the city center. there are tons of restaurants and shops around, which is cool. the bed was so comfy and we could sleep good without much noise at night. the staff were really nice and helped us out with stuff. the breakfast on the terrace had a nice view, which made it even better.

    walls were kinda thin, so you could hear stuff from next rooms. also, there was a bit of climbing to do with heavy luggage because the hotel is on a hill.

    The stay was complemented by spacious and clean accommodations, with great water pressure and pristine washrooms.

    Had a fantastic stay at Zem Hotel! The location is perfect, just a 5-minute walk to the tram stop, making it easy to explore local attractions. Our room was really spacious, featuring a king-size bed and a nice seating area. The staff was super helpful and friendly throughout our visit.
