No complaint and will certainly stay here again. In overall, the place is perfect, has excellent staff from the manager until the rest of the staff. Make sure you stay in the standard room with fridge, a rollaway bed, as example. A rooftop restaurant has fabulous meals.

The hotel was clean conveniently located in great area really close to airport, many areas and public transportation and transports. The staff were really kind and nice, everything was very easy during our stay. The location was great and good, approx 10-15 minutes' walk from a Holy mosque. Local cuisine was served in the rooftop restaurant. It was surely a comfortable stay of 15 nights at Raymond.
