Palmyra Hotel
Just opposite the ruins, the Palmyra is one of the most wonderful colonial-era relics dotting the Middle East, its guest book an impressive testament to how glamorous travel in the region once was.

This friendly place is a decent option. Entered via an arcade next to Restaurant Chich Kabab near the Palmyra Hotel, it has large rooms off a central courtyard. These are light and all have fans.
This hotel has only three very basic rooms with washbasins and a shared toilet and bath. Beds are uncomfortable and it's a musty and forgettable place to stay.
Close to the ruins, this hotel has the added advantage of great views from three of its five rooms. There are hard beds and a simple-but-clean shared toilet and shower. Enter via a stone staircase; the pension is on the 1st floor.
Favoured by the German archaeologists working at the archaeological site, this is a good midrange option. Prices are per person whether you take a single, double or triple, and there are rooms available on both sides of the road.
