"Highlight for us during our stay was the pool in the main area.. Dipping our toes in the cold water after walking the streets and hot souks all day, was amazing!"

The hotel has a really good location. It is close to the souks and other attractions. I like the tasty breakfast they have and many options are available. Staffs are very helpful, and they are very lovely too.

The room I had was dark. It was a dingy room without any window. The bathroom was dirty and moldy. There were electrical wires exposed right next to the basin.
