HOTELS IN IRAQ
The quality of hotels in Iraq is not very high standard. Most of the hotels in Karbala, Najaf and other cities are poorly equipped and do not have English style bathrooms in all the rooms, so if you are disabled please make sure you carry (with you) a portable toilet. Hotels in Iraq typically charge per person and not per room.
