A Syrian friend of mine booked Al Pasha hotel for our recent visit to Damascus. I am so very glad that she did, otherwise I surely would never have had such a pleasurable experience.
The location of the hotel within the Old City is perfect and the decor is beautifully authentic but what really sets Al Pasha apart from other hotels is the warmth & friendliness of the staff. Elias is a most charming general manager. He is not only very knowledgeable (and talented - speaking English, French & Italian as well as Arabic) but genuinely cares that everything possible is done to ensure a pleasant & memorable stay (even for the very youngest of guests). That personal touch is very special. Throughout our stay we felt that we were amongst friends. We will see you again one day, inshallah...
