Zidan Sarai

It took us a little while to find Zidan's partner hotel, as Akko can be almost like a maze, but once we did, we were made to feel at home by the friendly staff. The owner of our "room" quickly came to meet us with the keys, and kindly walked us to the beautiful and extremely spacious property…which was tremendously helpful, as it's very easy to get turned around in Akko! The room was absolutely gorgeous, and the photographs do not do it justice. There is an amazing feeling inside of the apartment itself, much like an oasis in the middle of the hot city, where we were able to relax on the sofa, take a Turkish bath, or just enjoy the ambience. We learned the history of the beautiful apartment, which made us appreciate it all the more, and we were also directed to a location between our stay and the partner hotel, where we could relax and unwind with some tea or coffee. That was the same place where we had breakfast, which was well beyond anything we expected, and we were able to enjoy our second day in Akko completely stuffed with delicious food! An absolutely wonderful experience, and I was sad that I was only staying in such a beautiful and deeply historic place for one night.

I think the room had been unoccupied for a short time before our stay, as there was a thin layer of stone dust on the bed and the bedside tables in our room itself. However, I think this is a natural phenomenon from such an ancient stone building, and I cannot fault the owner for the effects of time passing! Otherwise, the room was impeccably clean!

The suite is the most beautiful place I have stayed at. Magical and gorgeous. Zidan is warm and hospitable and told us the story of how his family built the place. Breakfast is delicious.

Super friendly owner and staff. All done with sense for esthetic and local flavor. Perfect location in the old city. Wonderful breakfast at Arabesque partner hotel. Everything was perfect.
