Karadah Hotels with Wifi

The most luxurious hotels in Baghdad, none of them

Due to work reasons, I often go back and forth to Baghdad, and I have long stopped expecting too much from the hotels here - either the room is too small, or the food is not to my taste, and the service is even more uneven. Before this business trip, I accidentally discovered the newly launched TAJ Crown Hotel on Ctrip, and booked it with a ”try it out” mentality. Unexpectedly, it became the most comfortable stay I have ever had in Baghdad! The hotel lobby is not spacious, but the decoration style is modern. As soon as you enter the door, you are surrounded by elegant fragrance, which instantly relieves the fatigue of the long-distance flight. The front desk guy speaks fluent English, and the check-in is efficient and smooth, without repeated communication. What's more considerate is that an older local porter took the initiative to help carry the luggage and led me all the way to the room, warm and thoughtful. I was pleasantly surprised as soon as I pushed the door open - the room layout is reasonable, with an area of about 40㎡, which is definitely a ”luxury-level” space in Baghdad. The air conditioner was turned on in advance, and it was cool and comfortable as soon as I entered the room. The bedding is delicate and the mattress is moderately soft and hard. For people who travel for business all year round, being able to sleep well is more important than anything else. What touched me most was the large desk (many domestic hotels have shrunk now), with welcome fruits and welcome letters, the rigid needs of business people were accurately grasped! Less than 10 minutes after checking in, a Chinese manager came to greet me, added WeChat and said that he could contact me at any time - this proactive service awareness is rare in overseas hotels. Whether it was consulting travel suggestions or simply chatting, the replies were quick and friendly, and I had the illusion of ”living in a high-end domestic hotel”. Due to the itinerary, I only experienced dinner and breakfast, but the richness of the dishes was satisfactory and the taste was authentic (finally I didn't have to rely on instant noodles to survive). It is lucky to encounter such a hotel in Baghdad - spacious space, delicate service, catering counterparts, and even more attention to details than domestic hotels of the same price. TAJ Crown Hotel made me feel like ”returning home”.

The team is very kindly, helpful and cooperative. The problem only was reservation delay. Thanks
