Very clean and modern hotel. Conveniently close to the major sites of the old city. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Yusef was awesome!

10/10 Exceptional

The staff made us feel welcome. The rooms and bathroom are small but nice and the bed was comfortable. The location is amazing and very walkable to many of the sites plus easy to get around the city via tram and metro. Breakfast was the best we’ve had at any hotel. Would definitely stay again. Don’t forget to tip the staff as they are very helpful and work hard including the staff that cleans the rooms.
