    I was of the understanding I paid for a room with a water view which wasn't the case so looked to the carpark and street which wasn't as nice as expected.

    Overall nice hotel with good amenities. Secure and safe hotel in Baghdad.

    Outdated rooms, way too costly not great value for money at all, pillows not great for a comfortable sleep, air conditioning is too loud to sleep with them on, balconies doors are about to fall.

    Safety and location was good and near some great restaurants but not great for Baghdad traffic it was very bad for getting to and from the hotel around Baghdad.

    My best at the Babylon Rotana
    • Business trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Spacious Room River View with Balcony - Twin Beds

    See Above -- The rooms are weird -- it's not the hotel's fault, it's the way the building was configured. They are oblong in shape and rather dark. They have done what they can with the lighting. But the rooms all could do with an upgrade. They are oblong in shape and rather dark. The carpet seems very dated and the furniture in some rooms is chipped. They are beginning to install better/new mini-bar refrigerators that keep things cold and that's a plus. WI-FI -- is POOR compared to other hotels. The Grand Millenium in Basra has a much better system. So do most hotel in Erbil. It's something that needs work.

    Three things -- I have stayed at the Babylon off and on for many years and the better you know the people who run it, the easier it is to spend long periods there as I do for work. This time, though I really want to say the staff was so sweet and thoughtful and it made my stay and work (in Baghdad's 49 degree centigrade heat... ) the best it could have been. The breakfast offers a terrific choice and the freshly made eggs are lovely and the more European breakfast foods as well as the offer of a proper Iraqi breakfast so that if you are having a business meeting with people from different backgrounds, everyone can have something they want. The Gym and the Gym staff are fantastic. It's clean, the machines are kept up and for me that is SUPER Important. Evan is a great trainer, Maha is always helpful at the front desk. And they have another great trainer, who was there less this time. As a person in Iraq on business, I work 12-13 hour days and the 90 minutes every day in the gym are the best in my day.

    I had an amazing stay at Babylon Rotana hotel. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the room was clean and comfortable. The highlight of my stay was the spa treatment service provided by Alina. She was professional and attentive, and I left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Baghdad.

    Due to the USD to Iraqi Dinar issue, the Hoel charged me approx. 12% more on my credit card. And for a such expensive rate, the +12% was not well received. Hotel should find other ways and not charge Customers for this issue.

    Security seems to be important in Baghdad and the hotel take care for this. It is a good hotel with a very impressive entrance. The room is not the best but good enough. Very good breakfast and good restaurants inside the hotel.

    The food was terrible. None of the on site options are worth the price. The service in the restaurants was also not up to international standards.

    Comfortable bed, rooms. No toxic cleaning product smell. Professional front desk service.

    Staff at breakfast need to be better trained, particularly in English. Very expensive hotel. Maybe because it is the only International Chain operating in Baghdad now.

    Very secure hotel. Multiple security checks. Very friendly reception. Particular mention of Diana who was pleasant and cheerful. Good view from river view rooms. Nice welcome fruits and traditional sweets in the room. Nice lobby with retro cars all around.
