There is not a lot of hotel choice in Sana'a; the Sheba or the Moevenpik. The Sheba is convenient, being in the city centre and has adequate essential security though their guards were using the infamous golf ball finder explosives detector when I last visited. Rooms are good given the local conditions which remain pretty basic. Surprisingly there is WiFi... More

Rooms were clean and amenities were also up to the mark. Staff was also polite and helpful. There are only two complaints from my side, Being Vegetarian if i... More

I stayed here for three nights for business recently, and the Sheba Hotel did the job. It was clean and the service was good. My only complaint was that the food was horrendously overpriced for what they give you. Perhaps they know that most people won't bother stepping out on their own to find something to eat elsewhere, and so... More

We stayed in this hotel as a group for business purposes for 4 days. Hotel, in general, is quite good, especially when you consider in which city/country it exists. It was decorated for Christmas when we were there -a little bit cheesy if you ask me but it's nice of them to think about other religions. Rooms are not bad,... More

Security was my first priority during my recent trip to Yemen and I am pleased to say that the Sheba doesn't take it lightly. Cars don't enter unless they have checked under the hood, in the trunk, under the car, and more. People don't enter the hotel without their bags scanned and passing through a metal detector. It can be... More

Hell No I honestly haven't seen other hotels in Sanaa, but I have seen reviews of Movenpick, Mercure, and Sheraton, and they look to be much better than this one. The hotel is very safe. It takes a long process to get in there. And it is very close to the old city, but it is not up to expectations... More

To understand the 'haha': we told our family 'we want to do a citytrip (1 week) ...and go to Sanaa! We= husband and wife (wheelchairbounded) and parents of 2 children (stayed at home during the 'citytrip').

I was on my first visit to Yemen and as you can well imagine given the socio-political situation Yemen, went with the hotel recommended by our local business associate. It is an old hotel (used to be managed by the luxury Taj group until some years back) and the age shows in the rooms and the bathrooms. The food was... More

I stayed at Sheba hotel for 10 days for a business trip. The room was quite comfortable with a very clean bathroom, with basic toiletries. The room has a fairly big safe where you can put your laptop. I had checked out their website and saw pictures of rooms with flat-screen TVs. That was not the case in my room... More

I visited Sanaa for what was initially supposed to be a brief 5 day business trip in September 2011 but ended up being a two and a half week sojourn as a result of the unstable security situation causing numerous flight cancellations and airport shut-downs. All of this uncertainty was made palatable because of the family-like atmosphere and service I... More
