I stayed in the Shahbandar Hotel in April 2011 and had a great experience. The hotel itself is beautiful and very well-located in the Christian quarter of the Old City. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and breakfast was magnificent. A slight downside was that the hotel can get a bit noisy when guests are having breakfast, but it... More

It's very nice I stayed one week hotel was brilliant staff was friendly ...great hotel

Wonderful room ,friendly staff , Everything was perfect

The hotel is absolutely gorgeous and really well located (although we had similar issues with taxis as... More

Unfortunately we only stayed one night, because the Beit Rose was overbooked and we had booked there. In retrospect we would have preferred to stay at the Shahbandar. Better rooms and nicer house in general. Location is perfect!

I stayed here for the best part of a week in November 2010. It's very well located (though hard to find - taxi drivers can't get to it easily, be warned!) in the Christian quarter of the Old Town. A beautiful conversion of an old Damascus house. The rooms (I stayed in two, both were very well set up) are... More
