Acc. in Syria, Jordan, Turkey... ?

We will be travelling overland from France to Jordan (Amman) through Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Syria and, of course, Jordan. :-)
Do you have any up to date GPS waypoints of recommended accomodation en route?
Campsite or hostel - should be clean and, if possible, with a safe parking for the bikes. The cheaper and nicer the better! :-)
GPS waypoints most welcome as we propably will arrive by night sometimes and a GPS makes it a lot easier to find :-)
If you don't habe a GPS waypoint but can recommend anyway - just feel free - it'll help us a lot!
Thank you so much!
Silke

Hi Silke,

Best,

Willem

I did get a response, BUT...
It was a GPS file with places to sleep, not to STAY. So after having been misguided to parking spaces for truck drivers we deleted the file on our GPS...
Sorry, can't help you!

I don't have a record of all the places where I stood during my trip to Syria and Jordan of August 2008, but I remember this:


HOTEL MANDALOUN
Aleppo, Syria

:: Mandaloun Hotel-Restaurant :: Contact Us


The service was near to perfect, our motorcycles were parked just in front of the entrance for two nights (and guarded) + it's at walking distance from the important and touristic places of Aleppo.
If I remember well, the price was Euro 40.00 for a very nice two-bed room with air conditioning.
Staff was very friendly and helpful.

I will recommend you to check Andon's webpage who was here last month.
(CapeTown-İstanbul trip. 34680 km. 306 days.)
Pages from istanbul back to jordan with photos will be very useful to you as they are up to date and with details.

best wishes

40 euros a night in Syria is luxury indeed; was it the Ritz?
