We stayed at Royal Karbala Hotel with our family from 22nd April to 27th April, and it was a truly wonderful experience. One of the best parts was being very close to Imam Hussain’s Holy Shrine, which made our visit convenient and spiritually uplifting. The food buffet was amazing, offering a wide variety of fresh and delicious options each day. The customer service was excellent — staff were incredibly friendly, respectful, and always ready to help. Our rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained throughout our stay, with housekeeping doing a great job daily. The hotel offered a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere, making it ideal for families. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Karbala! Mohamed Ismail & Family

Royal Karbala Hotel is absolutely incredible! The service is exceptional, the buffet offers a wide variety of delicious food, and the gaming lounge is a fun addition. The view is breathtaking, and the cleanliness is top-notch, making it a truly luxurious experience. The hotel also has a SIM card dealer and a shop, making it convenient for all your needs. The swimming pool and sauna are fantastic, and the games in the swimming area add an extra layer of fun. The gym is well-equipped for a great workout. The only minor issue I encountered was that some of the buffet staff spoke English instead of Arabic, which made communication a bit tricky at times. Nonetheless, the overall experience was fantastic, and I would definitely rate it 5 stars!

The royal in Karbala has been the best hotel we have ever stayed in. Made our stay in Karbala so smooth. From the food to the service everything is amazing. I highly recommend I went with my family and my 1 year old and they are very accomodating to all your needs. Thank you Royal Karbala

Excellent hotel in Karbala, excellent amenities, very clean hotel. 5* with excellent professional staff. The manager Mohammed Abdullah was extremely courteous, helpful and made our stay extremely pleasant and comfortable. Thank you also to the excellent cleaning staff, the reception team Abbas and Ali.

One of the best hotel located 5min away from Imam Hussain(as) shrine. Great customer service! Neat clean high standards! The owner n manager are great people. Love our stay. Highly recommend this hotel.

This place has incredible potential, and the building itself is stunning. The architecture and finishes, both inside and out, are beautiful, and the hotel design is truly impressive. The terrace restaurant offers breathtaking views of the shrines of Imam Hussain and Abul Fadhil Al Abbas, making it a perfect spot for enjoying the surroundings. However, our experience at the restaurant was extremely disappointing. The service was horrendous. It took an unbearably long time to get served, and our food arrived much later than expected. There were multiple mistakes with our orders, and when we requested ice cream, it took forever to arrive, only for them to get the order wrong. For a place with such great potential and prestige, the poor service was a huge letdown. It’s a shame that such an amazing location was overshadowed by such a negative experience. I believe they require some new management, especially for the roof top restaurant.
