Fodor's Expert Review Qurum Beach Hotel

The no-frills Qurum Beach Hotel looks like a kitschy California motel from the 1960s, and though it's a bit run-down, the large apartments are clean and acceptable for those on a budget who want to be close to the nightlife in the surrounding hotels, the cafés of Shatti Street, and the public beach. The location in the heart of the hotel district in Qurum, just steps away from the beachfront Corniche at Shatti Road, is indeed ideal. Don't expect much service beyond a basic complimentary breakfast of toast and Nescafé and room service that is good for little more than ice or beer. But the hotel's five sprawling, three-bedroom apartments are a fantastic option for larger families or groups. Each has two master bedrooms and one twin room, all with their own bathrooms, as well as a spacious living area, separate dining area, and either kitchen or kitchenette (depending on the room).
