The room is big enough and the price is relatively cheap. But by the road, it is noisy, breakfast is OK, the facilities are a bit old. Overall evaluation 3-4 stars. But on the first day of check-in, there was a problem with the exhaust vent, and the exhaust gas was discharged into my room, which caused me to almost be poisoned. I woke up at 2 o'clock in the middle of the night to change the room. The hotel didn't say sorry either. Feeling a little uncomfortable!
I usually only come up to complain
This time I saw no comments from Chinese people
This Rotana hotel has two in Erbil and one in Baghdad called Babylon Rotana. Presidential security level. Erbil has never been in war or attack, and the security check is also strict. There are two security guards with real machine guns at the entrance (confirmed). Before entering the gate, there will be another two security guards holding small mirrors to check if there is a boomboom installed under the car, and they will check the trunk, etc., which is stricter than the airport. Then before entering the lobby, bags and people have to go through security checks. The outer wall is explosion-proof. I asked the staff why this is the case even though it is very safe here. It is said that many presidents and prime ministers will stay at Rotana when they come, but generally choose another one, and the security is completely fine.
But be careful, if you rent a car to go to Mosul, you have to ask the driver whether he speaks Kurdish or Arabic. The driver I met was completely unable to communicate. The other party's English is like I say ”city gate tower” and he speaks ”hip bone axis”. The pronunciation is the smallest, the key is that it is easy to miscommunication. I was very anxious and angry, and the driver was so angry that I lost my voice because I couldn't communicate... I handed the phone to the driver and the translator page didn't say anything... I was very tired... Because I booked the hotel and called back to the hotel, they couldn't understand where I was going... I immediately covered my phone and held up the map and said to listen to me and follow the map to know where to go, but the driver just didn't listen (didn't understand) and it took 3 hours to get there after a 15-minute journey.
I don't write travel notes, so I'll say one more thing here. Several thousand-year-old ruins in Mosul have been destroyed. The local area does not protect them, and anyone can touch and step on them. Because I couldn't communicate with them (mainly because the driver was messing around inside), I really didn't understand... The police at the door said they didn't let me in first. I saw that they didn't let me in and planned to leave. As soon as I turned around, I was called back and said that Britain was good and China was good, and then they said they would take me in but I couldn't take pictures. It took 3 minutes to see several Nineveh period ruins that had no protection measures at all (guessing). When I went out, the police pulled the driver and said it would cost at least 200 dollars? ? ? ? Me? ? ? ? I thought I heard it wrong, because the driver's English was really poor. I turned on the translator to the police, and at this time he was afraid that I was recording. Let him say it to the kid, and tell him on the translator to give him at least 50 dollars to help him? Help for what? The corruption from top to bottom in Iraq is really disgusting. These policemen also pulled me to take pictures like a monkey. I am not a budget traveler, nor am I here to see how miserable people live in the war zone after the war. I don't like to take pictures of people's faces, so I refused their requests for photos. The locals didn't care if they were rejected, but the police were very embarrassed. Later, by chance, I met the little leader of the embassy of the United States. After a few days behind the door, my journey was smooth sailing and I was never mad at him again. The police at the Mosul ruins are really rubbish, termites! ...
