The location is great. It is very quiet. The souks are only a short walk. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is served every morning on the pretty roof terraces. It was a joy to stay there.

The room was really small. The sound insulation from people walking in the corridor was non-existent. The water in the shower did not go down the drain properly. I was told I had to remove the lid in the floor drain when showering and put it back after, to keep cockroaches from entering.
