From what I gather, the hotel caters well to families with amenities and dining, although the overall style leans toward classic comfort rather than cutting-edge design.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The staff were exceptionally friendly and went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable, and the rooms were clean and comfortable, offering everything I needed. However, the noise from the Thursday pool party was unbearable, which really impacted my comfort on that night. While the facilities were nice, the noise issue was a significant downside.

I had a wonderful 12-day stay at Ankawa Royal Hotel with my family. The location was convenient with plenty of dining options nearby, and the cleanliness of the hotel was top-notch. The staff truly went above and beyond, especially Riham at the front desk and the housekeeping team led by Dahham and Ali. However, the wine selection at the hotel was lacking, offering only one brand that wasn't to my taste. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel and look forward to returning.
