Just returned from my first stay at Burj Al Balad during the local holiday season. We enjoyed our time at the hotel and overall feel it was good value for the price we paid. The location is excellent with a beautiful Mosque just opposite the building, several food options nearby, and historical Balad also in close walking distance. Internet was fine, and the room in general was spacious, clean and comfortable. However, the bathroom could be better as the shower plug hole did not drain properly.
