Fodor's Expert Review Western Desert Hotel

Smack-dab in the middle of Bawiti, this hotel is an obvious choice for anyone who might be arriving late at night or who doesn't like to feel too far removed from civilization. The four-story building shows signs of hasty finishing and kitschy décor, but it is spotlessly clean throughout. All rooms have private baths and balconies, the upper floors offering views. Singles can be cramped, but the doubles are spacious and better furnished. The owner has purchased an adjacent property and plans to add a midsize swimming pool.
