The staff was helpful. They provided honest advice. The ladies there have amazing energy. I felt comfortable at all times. Airport transfers were easily arranged by staff. The building has beautiful decorations. Staff ensured I had everything I needed for an enjoyable trip!
Prices for laundry were not accurate! I had to pay extra in the end. The total bill seemed off.

The location is very central and easy to find! The staff were very nice. Younes, Outaman, Ayoub, and Samira. Dinners and breakfast were delicious. Everything was homemade from chicken tagine to harira soup.
Prices for laundry were not accurate. I had to pay extra! The total bill in the end did not seem to add up?
