Can anyone recommend a good hotel in Aleppo, less tha $40 U.S a night with ensuite bathroom.
Al-Gawaher hotel is good too, its in the center of the city close to the clock tower.

I doubt you find any hotel under usd 40 with ensuite.in a descent area.
You may find one in the Bab Faraj the cheap area of Aleppo.Some of the hotels double up as brothel.

Hi there,
One nice place is tourist hotel (be careful not tourism hotel!)
adress is Boustan Kul Ab and it is exactly opposite to the national museum in the centre of the city. We paid 1200 Syrian pounds which is less than what you are asking for a double room with bathroom and an excellent balcony! Telephone is 2116583

The best place to stay is the Tourist Hotel. We paid $27 for a double with ensuite. Clean and safe. But also popular, so I would definitely book ahead. it has no website, so you have to call.
In order not to be confused between the two hotels, the tourist and tourism hotels, you can ask the name in arabic: al-syaha hotel (not al-syahi). you have to book in advance since it has limited rooms with bathrooms.
