Staff at the Intercontinental are impeccably polite. Nothing was too much trouble and they are more than obliging on matters of local custom etc. Room Service menu was particularly average. The quality was very good but the menu was 90% western food. Im a westerner but I love Middle Eastern food too. Attached Monda restaurant was "pleasant" The staff can... More
