I had mixed feelings about my stay at this hotel. On one hand, the location is fantastic, just a short walk to the Old City, which made exploring really easy. The rooms were decent and comfortable for sleeping, but unfortunately, cleanliness was a major drawback. The breakfast was acceptable but could use some improvement. Overall, it's affordable, but there were noticeable areas that needed attention.

Capital Hotel has a prime location near the Old City, offering easy access to public transport and the authentic feel of Arabic hospitality. While the breakfast selection was impressive and the staff's willingness to assist stood out, the overall condition of the hotel left much to be desired, with noise issues and outdated rooms. Unfortunately, it can feel a bit rundown and may not offer the comfort that some travelers expect.
