I can thoroughly recommend Beit Zaman hotel in Damascus - 4 old Damascene houses converted into a hotel. It's on cnr Straight Street and Bab Touma St - a great location in the old city, and quiet at night. Easy walk to the souk and all other sites. The staff were friendly and eager to help in any way. Breakfast... more

This hotel is just great! It is like a museum and the people make you really feel at home! If you plan to visit Damascus than there is no other choice you can make! more

Loved staying at Beit Zaman. We were welcomed with a smile and kind word whenever we walked through the front door. The staff packed a table we bought and obtained cardboard boxes, tape and foam for another item we had to pack. The location is very central, close to restaurants, bars and most sites. Try the Maktoush or stuffed eggplant... more

Extraordinary Damascene hospitality awaits you here. From the luxurious brocaded damascene fabrics on beautiful furniture and pillowed divans, to famous Syrian glass chandeliers, to gorgeous fountains in the public areas, everything is designed to entice the senses. The delightful rooms are off inner courtyards and range from one fit for a pasha to a cozy retreat for the single traveler.... more

The Beit Zaman has beautiful public spaces, attractively furnished rooms (which, by the way, have the most wonderful olive oil shampoo in the en suite bathrooms), exceptionally good service and a location very convenient for sightseeing and shopping in the souq. I stayed here twice and hope I have the good luck to stay at the Beit Zaman again sometime. more

My friend and I stayed on two separate occasions at Beit Zaman (at the beginning of our 12 day trip to Syria and at the end of it). The location is superb (slap bang in the middle of the old quarter of Damascus), the rooms comfortably spacious with well equipped ensuite bathroom and the crowning glory, THE STAFF, were brilliant.... more

We stayed here for 2 nights at the end of a 10 day tour of the country. We had a quiet room away from the main courtyard, although on the first night we had a very keen cleaner washing down the floors outside our room at 1230am!! He was quickly asked to come back in 7 hours! The hotel has... more

Possibly the only good hotel in Old Damascus you are within walking range of all the major attracations. The rooms are individual and we stayed two separate nights in different rooms and were pleased but some others in the group less so. The hotel is made up from 3 adjoined houses and some fittings were somewhat temperamental. Only meal is... more

Travelling to Damascus in Business my colleague and I decided to try one of these beits in old damascus as opposed to the larger hotels. I must say that Beit Zaman is a great place to stay. It is in a busy part of Damascus but also relatively easy to access. Staff and management were curteous and polite. Beit Zaman... more
