 Beyt ettullab by Mcclovis SIAL and other language institutes in Sana'a offer accomodation. That way you are saved a lot of hassle and they are a great way to meet other students.
Very often they are a few minutes walk away from the institute. They are fine as long as you do not expect 5 or any other star services. Theme: HostelComparison: less expensive than averageAddress: SIALDirections: Old city of Sana'aWebsite: www.sialyemen.com

 Arabian Felix hotel on the sa'ila, Sanaa Yemem by Ekahau, 4 more photos For the full experience of Yemen if you really want to get the flavor recommend you should consider staying stay at a place in Sana’a in the old city or near it. One I would recommend the Arabian Felix (Roman Latin name for Yemen) this is 1) cheap about $25 or 39 $ and a 2) great location 3) in a wonderful old Yemeni style building. This is for the adventure tourism type not the business VTer!!! the staff is kind helpful and friendly, nice breakfast. Ask the manager Gamal Younies to stay on the 4th floor with marvelous great view of the old city and the sky of minarets and mud and stone architecture. Also if you look past the closest minarets just of to the right way up on the side of the mountain is my old house.
The hotel is mud and stole just like the wonderful photos you will be taking in the old walled city of Sana’a . Members of the staff can speak English French and Italian one a little German even. Basic place with clean rooms and either bath in rooms or share bath all in the price. The hotel has a restaurant which serves Yemeni food so you can learned about the cuisine.

by traveldave The Arabia Felix Hotel offers 32 rooms in what was once four traditional houses in Sana'a Old Town. This means that to reach some rooms, it is necessary to walk a block down the street to enter a separate building. What the hotel lacks in luxury or comfort is certainly made up by its unique location and old-time Yemeni atmosphere (the former houses are about 400 years old). The rooms are basic and clean. The interior walls are whitewashed with intricate scroll-work and Arabic script around the window frames. Above each window is a semicircle of beautiful stained glass that glows in the sunlight. The only amenity in the rooms is a telephone. There is no television or air conditioning. During the day, the sun shining into the rooms can make them quite hot, but they cool off quickly at night, due to the high elevation of Sana'a. Only a few rooms have en suite bathrooms. Guests in most rooms, therefore, have to share one bathroom and shower per floor. And the sink is located in the hallway. This is the only hotel I have ever stayed in where I had to shave in the hallway.
The Arabia Felix Hotel has an adequate restaurant featuring Yemeni and other Middle Eastern cuisines. Guests can dine inside, or under the flowering trees in the hotel's inner courtyard. There is also a coffee shop where guests can puchase coffee or cold drinks. Theme: HotelComparison: about average

by MichaelFalk1969 This hotel is a former palace painted in incredible colours, green, pink, orange, blue, you name it. It really stands out among the other cream-coloured houses of the Khaylah village. The staff is very attentive, the rooms are fine, with the one exception that they forgot to install western-style sinks in the bathrooms (no joke). From the rooftop you have marvelous views on the Wadi Duan. If you are travelling from Sayun through the Wadi Duan to Mukalla, it would be a good idea to book your overnight stay here.

by MichaelFalk1969 Hajjara is nicer than Manackha, so I rather recommend staying here. This "funduk" is the only hotel in Hajjara (to the best of my knowledge), the rooms are clean, the other facilities are very simple (including the toilets) and more youth hostel-style, but the staff is attentive and friendly, the food is great, and if enough tourists are there, they perform traditional dance shows in the evening.

by traveldave I was pleasantly surprised by the Al-Mahweet Hotel. Despite the fact it is located in a small town high in the mountains, it was the best hotel I stayed in during my trip to Yemen. The hotel offers breathtaking views of the mountains and valleys, as well as old town Mahweet, which clings to a mountaintop above the hotel. The hotel has only 22 rooms and two suites, but many of the rooms are located in a new wing in an adjacent building (which is attached to the main building). These new rooms are very spacious, and newly renovated and furnished. Each room has satellite television, air conditioning, and its own bathroom.
The Al-Mahweet hotel has a good open-terrace restaurant which specializes in Yemeni cuisine. The restaurant, as well as the hallways and common areas, are decorated with traditional Yemeni arts and crafts, creating an old-time Yemen atmosphere. And there is even a traditional Bedouin tent on a second-floor terrace, where guests can relax on the cushions, and enjoy mint tea or a smoke from a hookah. Theme: HotelComparison: about average

by traveldave Located on the corniche and facing the Red Sea, the Al-Fakhama Hotel is one of the best hotels in the port city of Hodeidah. Despite its four-star rating, the rooms are a little run down. Not all of the light fixtures in my room worked. The water pressure and water temperature in the bathroom were not consistent, and the fixtures in the bathrooms are ancient and did not always work properly.
The Al-Fakhama Hotel offers 63 rooms and 14 suites. Each room is equipped with satellite television, air conditioning, and its own bathroom. There is also a restaurant which specializes in very good seafood from the Red Sea, and a coffee shop where guests can purchase drinks and a snack. The hotel caters to local businesmen, and therefore has a business center and conference hall. Theme: HotelComparison: about average

by traveldave The Taj Shamsan Hotel is located in the heart of Bab Mosa, the medieval old town of Ta'iz. It is one of the most comfortable and well-appointed hotels in Ta'iz, which helped make it the winner of the Golden Award for Tourist, Hotel and Catering Industry in 2005.
The Taj Shamsan Hotel has 64 rooms and eight suites. Each room overlooks a different part of Bab Mosa, with views of mosques and minarets, bazaars, and medieval buildings. All rooms come equipped with air conditioning, mini bar, direct-dial international telephone service, and satellite television. Guests at the Taj Shamsan Hotel have several options for dining. The Panorama Roof Top Restaurant provides spectacular views of the city and surrounding mountains, and offers Yemeni and international cuisine. The Al-Howta Coffee Shop also offers local and international food, and is even a popular meeting place for more affluent locals. And the Shamsan BBQ Terrace is a good place to enjoy a meal in the open air overlooking Ta'iz. Other amenities provided by the hotel include laundry and dry-cleaning services; a boutique specializing in Yemeni fashions, jewelry, and handicrafts; a fully equipped fitness center; and an internet cafe.

by traveldave Until recently, Socotra was closed to tourism, and was very difficult to get to. That is changing, as birdwatchers, eco-tourists, divers, and adventure travelers are starting to discover the natural wonders of the island. Because Socotra is still well off the beaten tourist path, such amenities as hotels and restaurants are very rustic, and do not meet basic international standards. Therefore, anyone traveling to Socotra must be willing to "rough it." The Socotra Tourism Hotel is one of only a few hotels in the main town of Hodibo. Despite its name, the staff seems both unwilling and ill-prepared to cater to tourists' needs. The rooms are very basic, but are reasonably clean. Each room has a sink, shower, and squat toilet. The shower and squat toilet are in the same small room, so taking a shower basically involves standing in the toilet. Rooms are not provided with toilet paper, so guests must either provide their own, or request it from the staff, who may or may not have any on hand. And the hotel does not provide any towels either, so guests should be prepared to bring their own. The hotel also has problems supplying water and electricity on a regular basis, but that may be a problem with the town as a whole. Often there was no water at all, or only a small trickle. And occasionally the power went out in the evening, so the staff would be outside trying to hook up a generator. Even when the generator was hooked up, the lights still flickered on and off.

Moevenpick is the new in place for the Business travel a very nice up class 5 star hotel that cost about $125 a night this is about double the old standard the Sanaa Sheraton Hotel. Very nice place Moevenpick and is worth the money if your boss is paying and you need a place to work. I would not however recommend a place like this for a adventures travel trying to get in and among the people really missing a chance to live with the people so to speak.
338 brand new rooms including 40 suites, all tastefully opulent with huge bath and beautiful view of the city on one side mountains on the other. if you are a VTer in large part it has all the wonderful stuff you left home to travel and get away from like SPA and beauty facilities Gym equipment like treadmills, cross trainers, bikes, rowing machines, Sauna and Steam rooms, squash court,outdoor and indoor swimming pools with bar, jacuzzi yad yad yada. yes very nice.
