Burj Al Salam Hotel
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, it is a strong budget choice: a 4-star hotel in Karada scoring 9.1, at well under half the median price in our Baghdad sample. It is less suited to travellers who want to walk to the main museums and mosques, since all of them are far from the hotel.

This is our Budget pick in Baghdad, though it is a 4-star property rather than a bare-bones one. It suits couples, families and business travellers who want a well-rated base at a moderate price. Family rooms are listed, along with a restaurant, free parking, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning.
Our data also tags the hotel as pet friendly. Pet rules and any fees are not confirmed, so ask before you travel with an animal.
Skip it if you want to spend your days walking between sights. None of the landmarks in our data are close. If you want the highest guest score in the city, our Best Value pick scored 9.5.
Location in Karada and getting around
The address we have is simply Karada. A full street address is not confirmed in our data, so check the exact location on the booking page and save it for your taxi driver.
Guests rate the location 9.1 out of 10. Even so, the sights are some distance away. The Iraq Museum is about 4.4 km, roughly 55 minutes on foot. Abu Hanifa Mosque is about 9.5 km, close to two hours, and Al-Kazimiyya Mosque is about 11.5 km, around 144 minutes. All of them are far, so you will need a taxi or public transport.
Walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified. It is also sensible to check current official travel advice for Baghdad before you go.
What guests say
The hotel scores 9.1 out of 10 from 79 guest reviews. It tied for third place on score among the 6 eligible hotels we compared, which shows how well rated the whole Baghdad sample was.
We do not have summarised likes or dislikes for this hotel. That leaves gaps: we cannot say how guests rate the breakfast, the rooms or the staff. Read recent reviews and look for comments on noise, cleanliness and service.
With 79 reviews the sample is moderate, so recent reviews carry real weight.
Price and what you get, against our other Baghdad picks
The reference price was €74.59 per night, about €149 for two nights. This is a reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, not a live quote. Check today's price for your dates.
The sample median was €183.22, so this rate sat 59% below it. Our Best Value pick, فندق وشقق أومري - Aumary Hotel&Residences, was €95.97 per night with a 9.5 score and 4 stars. Our Luxury pick, World Heart Hotel, was €244.72 per night with 9.0 and 5 stars.
The gap to the Best Value pick was about €21 per night. If that higher score matters to you, compare both for your dates. Breakfast here is listed as a buffet, but whether it is included in your rate is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 6 eligible hotels in Baghdad. The Budget slot goes to the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale choice is set aside, and this hotel took it at €74.59.
It is rare for the cheapest eligible option to score above 9 and hold 4 stars. That is the main reason it stands out.
