Since I travel on a strict budget, I am used to hostels, so this was no big surprise. It is not a 3 or 4 star hotel, but fine as a hostel. Location is its best quality. A fun way to be a part of the local culture........every street is an adventure. I would recommend this to my friends who travel on a budget, but not to those who require 4 star quality.

the courtyard is nice , the location ok. The rest is terible. The service and breakfast are bad. But the rooms : wouldn't keep my dog in them ! We travel every year for 3 - 4 months, but in 15 years we havn't seen such a room !!!! One star would be too much. And the bathroom ! Just look at the foto : they plug holes in the tiles ( electricity ?) with a plaster ( medic strip used for blisters or so ) . But the hotel doesn'y care.. they fill the rooms with unsuspecting groups ! Shame on Alepo , shame on Syria !

The public areas of this old mansion look promising on arrival but the guest rooms are simply dreadful: it is a very old conversion in every respect - and it shows. What there was in the rooms (not much, and there was no safe) didn't work, the beds were soft and smelly and the dirt was everywhere - in fact above the height you could easily reach with your hand Beit Wakhil hasn't been properly cleaned in decades.

There is no excuse for a place like this and we heard elsewhere that the lease on this place is coming up for renewal. I hope someone else takes it on and fixes it up though it will cost millions.

I stayed here in 2007 and loved it - but standards have gone down. The service is not good, and the food barely edible. I guess with more travellers coming to Syria, they think they don't have to offer good service anymore.
