Shams Al-Basra Hotel

3/5 for encouragement, but they have some work to do. Stayed three nights. Good location within walking distance of the Corniche. Small room. No luggage racks. Amenities included an electric kettle. Reasonably comfortable beds and pillows. A/C worked well, but it frequently didn't automatically restart after the numerous power outages (which lasted 1-2 min). Sufficient number of power outlets. Bathroom with no shelf space. Shower with 1/3 door which resulted in flooding the floor. Only one bath towel each provided; no hand towels and no bath mat. No spare roll of toilet paper. Breakfast items not replenished in a timely fashion. One day there were no utensils. Wifi with constant stuttering, not working for half hour at a time several times a day.

The crew was friendly The internet connection is slow and interrupted. The cleanliness of the room is good. The location is very good, near to the Cornish. The area around the hotel suffers from constant rate of construction to build more hotels around.
