 Tour from Cairo Hotel by MalenaN
Cairo Hotel is a clean and friendly hotel. The rooms have TV, fridge and bathroom, with hot showers.
You can have breakfast here (not included in the price), read or write in the books with traveller's tips and go on daytrips. Cairo Hotel makes daytrips to Krak de Chevalier (with a stop at the crusader castle at Musyaf).
I paid 300 SP for a room. Theme: HotelPrice: less than US$20 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveAddress: Sharia al-Quwatli, P.O. Box 970, HamaPhone: +963 33 237206, 222280Directions: Near the Clock TowerOther Contact: Fax: 237206

I had single room with shower and TV there. that was the only place I had TV in the room.. I found some movie chanel there (hollywood staff) in english (!) with arabic subtitles.... /but to tell you the truth I turned the TV off really very soon.. common in Syria for just wto weeks.. I did not need it there really!!! :))
anyway, anyway, they had TV and also they had good heating ( and that was really important for me as it was quite cold night time in December there).
there is another hotel, right becide Riad Hotel, it's name is Cairo Hotel. some ppl told me later Cairo is better. well, anyway, I was quite happy with Riad... and actually I dont know what exactly those ppl meant by "better".
In Riad they are arrangeing tours to Krak and to Palmyra (to Palmyra via desert).
it's good and clean. Theme: HotelPrice: less than US$20 » Currency ConverterAddress: Kouatli St, Hama, SyriaPhone: 00963 33 239512 / 235540Directions: center of the city.Other Contact: riadhotel@SCS-net.org

 my room at the cairo by call_me_rhia
wonderfully friendly owners who fill u up with chai whenever you just drop by the reception desk... and very helpful too. They also offer tours of the area by taxi, and try to group people to share the costs - roughly 40 dollars for a taxi for a day sightseeing. And they have an internet station for guests...perfect!

The manager, Mr. Abdullah speaks fluent English and has been very helpful. Although they made mistake by putting me into another day tour that I did not plan to go, they only charged me 50% of the tour, which I think is reasonable as I did visit 50% of the places that I wanted to go PLUS bonus - dead cities (that I did not plan to go).
It is spotless clean and someone makes up the bed everyday, so better locked up your luggage. Theme: HotelPrice: less than US$20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Kouatli StreetPhone: +963-33-239-512 /235-540Website: riadhotel@scs-net.org Other Contact: fax: 517-776

In December 2006, my fellow travellers and I were in Hama for only one night, on our way from Palmyra to Aleppo (via Apamea). Given our very short stay (arrived at sunset, and left by 9am), we wanted to know what we were getting, so we chose to pay the premium and stayed at the government-owned "luxury" chain hotel. While Apamée Cham Palace is reasonably priced by Western standards (~$100 per night), it is considered quite expensive in Syria, and particularly Hama. These "luxury" accommodations are comparable to a Sheraton or a Marriott in Europe or America, i.e. nothing grand. However, upon our return from Palmyra, where our "4-star" hotel was quite sub-standard, the government-style luxury of Apamée Cham Palace was warmly welcomed!
The hotel was built in the mid-eighties, on the site of the tragic events of 1982, when a large section of the ancient city was completely destroyed in internal fights. The building is modern and the rooms are of a decent size. Though the best features of Apamée Cham Palace are its panoramic, unobstructed views of the city of Hama, the Orontes River and the Noriahs. Watching the sun rise over the city and the river was quite a wonderful moment. For those not on a budget who want to discover central Syria, this hotel could be a great anchor point.

The 2nd Ed of the Lonely Planet has a short list of what's really available, and I was so sick that I really don't know how my wife settled on this room. But, she did as well as I had on all the other stays in the country. The room was plain, but new and clean, and had a great panoramic view of the city. The price was midrange, and apparently still finishing construction on some rooms. My wife found a travel agency to get directions pharmacy. At the pharmacy, someone spoke good English, and directed her to a late night place to get decent food to go. In any case, Hama Tower is a good choice.
I was sick, so I can't recall a lot, but I don't think the hotel had a pool or any extra things like that. I don't remember trying to ask if the hotel roof would become a restaurant, open to public views of the city, or what. One thing that is clear, it was only a block or so from the Karnak Bus station. This is a 3 star hotel.

I was dropped by a dimly lit covered shopping centre, halfway along which was the lift to the hotel’s first floor neat, polished reception, a real contrast to the rather shabby entrance. My room and the bathroom, although small, were similarly smart, very clean and had excellent air conditioning and one small high window.
The man running the hotel sat me down to take tea and asked what I wanted to visit, before helping me plan my next day’s sightseeing and onward train travel, then also if I planned to take dinner there. He organised a delicious vegetarian meal for me, of bread and soup followed by green beans in tomatoes with rice, as I ate a little earlier than the other guests at the hotel, I had three waiters providing exceptionally attentive service!
The hotel was well situated within easy walking distance of both sets of the famous waterwheels after which it was named Theme: HotelPrice: US$20-40 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Hama- Al Koatley StreetPhone: 00-963-33-51.24.14.Website: Fax : 00-963-33-51.17.15.

The Cairo hotel in Hama is really a VERY good hotel.
Double with bathtub (ask for room 20!): 475 Pounds (it's around 9US$), breakfast: 75 Pounds (1.5 Pounds), we did a day trip to Apamea, Crac des Chevaliers and to some castles for 1950 Pounds/taxi (39US$)... so it's better to 3 or 4 persons.
Cheap, very clean, helpful staff, organize daytrips around Hama. Theme: HotelComparison: less expensive than averageAddress: See pictures for map (coming soon..)

We paid 500 for a double.
It was sheer luxury for us backpackers. We even had a toilet where we could sit down. Towels and soap included.
The people at the reception desk spoke perfect English Theme: HotelPrice: less than US$20 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveAddress: Kouwatli Street
