Perfectly located
If you are looking forward to a vacation where you can just park your vehicle and enjoy public transportation, then the Hafez Hotel Apartments will be perfect. The Al Ras Metro Station is a two minute walk, where you can take a boat ride to many local attractions.

Plenty to do
If you find your way to the creek, you can take a boat ride to the Trader's Market, the gold Souq's and the spice markets, or head out to Meena Bazar, which is a ten minute walk. Many guests suggest that you visit Heritage House, which is next door to this hotel.

Great Wi-Fi signal
Travellers are very pleased that the Wi-Fi actually has a strong signal, not only in the public areas, but in the rooms too. For business travellers this is a relief, as they are able to stay connected without the threat of losing whatever they might be working on.

Super old hotel
Visitors have described Hafez Hotel as pretty old, and in desperate need of an upgrade, however other visitors have expressed their delight at the price. If you are looking for a very economical stay then this will suit you perfectly.
negative:
Some smelly rooms
There have been a few complaints about some of the rooms that have that damp, old smell about them. If you find yourself in one of these rooms, you could ask for an alternative room, or just bring some air-freshener with.
negative:
So many bugs
If you have issues with the creepy crawly kind, then this might not be the place for you to spend your vacation. Many guests have found a cockroach or two in their rooms, as well as other varieties of bugs. You could pack some bug spray on your next trip.
