Al-Gawaher Hotel ('the precious stones') has three floors, the second and third of which are nicely decorated and traditional Arabic couches are available for relaxation after a long day exploring the beauties of Aleppo! The homely atmosphere is relaxing and means guests can enjoy sitting, reading and drinking their tea or coffee with other guests and chat with each other. We also have wireless internet access throughout the hotel.
Our roof offers views of the city and the citadel and during the summer evenings we try to organize small parties with food and drink for those who haven't already begun!
Our friendly staff will do everything in their power to make your stay as enjoyable and comfortable as it can be. It’s our desire to satisfy the needs of our customer. We serve free tea and coffee at all hours and we can arrange trips within Aleppo and to the most famous sights in the vicinity, such as the Dead Cities, Palmyra, local castles, etc. There is also a laundry service and money exchange, which can be requested at the 24 hour reception.
