فندق البارون – كربلاء

This was my third visit to the Baron Hotel. Unfortunately, the quality has declined noticeably. During check-in, the receptionist (a large man with a beard) made me wait for 30 minutes without a single word of apology or explanation. The room was not as clean as on previous stays. Upon check-out, Sara—the receptionist who speaks Farsi very well—made me wait 45 minutes to call a rental car, and in the end, she didn’t call it at all. It seems that the hotel is no longer managed by the same team as before, and the lack of proper management is quite evident. Pros: - The quality of breakfast and dinner is still as good as during my previous visits.

Questo hotel è una grande torre illuminata di sera che si presenta bene già quando si entra nell’atrio della reception che è molto spazioso con un angolo con un caffè . Anche le camere sono pulite e comode con Wi-Fi funzionante. All’esterno c’è un giardino con un altro caffè .

أفضل فندق في كربلاء في البداية، أود أن أشكر السيد طفيل على تنظيم رحلة الزيارة الخاصة بنا بمثل هذا الكمال وفي مثل هذا الوقت القصير، والاهتمام بجميع احتياجاتنا وجعلنا نشعر براحة كبيرة. كانت الغرف واسعة ومريحة مع جميع وسائل الراحة. كانت الوجبات لذيذة ومتنوعة بشكل جيد، وشكر خاص للشيف حسين الذي كان دائمًا على استعداد لخدمتنا، مهما طلبنا؟ كان سرفراز جيدًا في خدماته. كانت خدمة النقل إلى الحرم هي النقطة الإيجابية، فقد كانت دقيقة للغاية وعلى فترات متكررة. كانت إقامتنا في فندق البارون لا تُنسى، ونود العودة مرة أخرى للزيارة.

We were very happy to stay in this lovely sanctuary amongst the hustle and bustle near the haram. This is a very clean and beautiful hotel in Karbala. It's a 10 min shuttle ride to the haram of maula Hussain and Abbas. They have a 24 hour shuttle running frequently. One tip I recommend is always ask the driver where the pick up near the rozas will be as it changed multiple times when we were there. It can get very confusing if you are not familiar with the area. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable. We felt like we were coming home each time. The buffets were delicious. Unfortunately most a la carte restaurants were closed and or have limited food due to Ramadan. They have wonderful amenities too like a swimming pool, kids park and gaming place. Nice for kids to get a break after ziyarat. A big shout out to Tufeyl the sales and marketing director who set everything up for us including airport transfer and ensured we got to our next destination safely. He really became like family for us. Zain ul Abideen at front desk was very helpful too answering questions and he spoke very good English. We will definitely recommend this place to all our friends and family. Another tip- For the women coming for Ziyarat, bring a big abaya. They are super strict at the haram.

كانت الإقامة في فندق البارون في كربلاء مفاجأة سارة. نظيف ومريح وخدمة ممتازة. الغرف واسعة ومجهزة تجهيزًا جيدًا. تتوفر خدمة نقل من وإلى العتبات المقدسة كل ثلاثين دقيقة، وتستغرق الرحلة خمس دقائق بالسيارة إلى موقع الزيارة. كان الإفطار جيدًا مع خيارات متنوعة. رتب الفندق جميع جولاتنا السياحية إلى بغداد وبابل والنجف. كان الموظفون، من مكتب الاستقبال إلى السائقين الذين سينقلوننا، متعاونين للغاية، وبذلوا قصارى جهدهم لضمان رحلة ممتعة. أنصح بشدة بهذا الفندق لأي شخص يزور كربلاء.

This was my first trip to Karbala and to Iraq and I was not really sure what to expect. The hotel was pretty safe, modern and clean. The grounds were nice with trees, the rooms were really clean, modern and so were the bathrooms. We had an all inclusive package and food was brilliant. They had great Pakistani food along with middle eastern options. Salads, dessert, bread, Iraqi tea were fantastic. I took out one star because to go to the mausoleum area you had to take a shuttle. While the shuttle came every 30 minutes the convenience of walking was missing. It was not a big issue but during our visit there were a few million people there and the shuttle had to drop us a significant distance away and we had to walk through the mayhem. Overall very good option to stay if you visit Karbala
