This is an extremely well run hotel. All the staff are immaculately dressed and service is very good and willing and the staff obviously take a real pride in the place. It is extremely clean, and attractive. It is a Western style hotel and you may not like this if you want historic charm, but we found this a bit of a relief after struggling round Aleppo's muddy and chaotic streets in the rain and cold. I was so relieved to get a nice American style coffee, and a place to eat casually that was warm and bright. Everything else that we saw was really really ethnic or else overpriced. The room price at $111 double is cheaper than the big luxury hotels and the ambience of the hotel is more appealing, the big hotels are very corporate and huge new Sheraton in Aleppo is particularly ugly like a warehouse). The general standard of the Ramsis is well up to anything you'd get in the West.

There is a coffee shop which also serves light meals, just pizza and salad and stuff but better than you would get in a Western place because the food in Aleppo is nearly all freshly prepared from local organic ingredients, thank goodness they have not discovered fast food and processed food.

So to sum up the Ramsis is not quaint but it is attractive in its modern way and you do feel that they have aimed to be a certain type of small comforatble European or American style hotel and they have succeeded very well in what they have tried to do.

the hotel is excellent they have excellent service very friendly staff restaurant was great food excellent
