Decent rooms in a sprawling 300-year-old traditional hotel right on the main Roman drag through the old town. Apart from lovely courtyards, the Damasco restaurant and Al-Dardasha cafe, there's the popular Al-Areesha rooftop terrace. In the basement, guests can use the hotel's hammam steam bath and book massages and other treatments. It's a good idea to check if there are no wedding parties planned during a weekend stay.
