This hotel is in an excellent location. Service was good, but there was too much of an effort by staff to recommend bookings for hamam, dining and the like. Hotel is a bit dark overall.

Good place to stay! Friendly staff. Had to make a couple calls to the desk for items that should have been in the room. They left the amenities a mystery we had to figure out as we went. Other than that it was nice!

Immediately upon arrival, the toilet malfunctioned. I was there for three days and there was no fix. But what’s worse is they did not give me a discount. Disappointing. The breakfast was amazing. Room was great otherwise. Amazing location.
