The people including Abdullah, Mohammad and Mustafa are absolutely fantastic. We are a family of four and they treated us rather well.

My wife and I are used to staying at 5 star hotels. While the Minamar Museum Hotel is not 5 star, our stay there was one of the most rewarding of our frequent travels. What made it so wonderful? The people who run it. The entire staff was professional, friendly, and went out of their way to make us feel... More
