How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Families: whether children are welcome, and family rooms, a kids’ club or pool, a playground, babysitting. Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.
A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.

What the hotel offers on site
A 24-hour front desk handles late arrivals, and the rooms are air-conditioned and soundproofed.
Check-in from 14:00, check-out until 12:00, children allowed, pets not
Check-in runs from 14:00 and check-out until 12:00. Children are allowed, and pets are not.
Who Zem Hotel suits, and who it should not suit
Travellers who want a room to spread out in should choose the Standard Triple or Standard Double rather than the 12 m² budget and economy rooms.
It is a poor fit for pet owners, since pets are not allowed, and for anyone relying on on-site parking, which the hotel does not have.
