"The police were heavy on the streets with machine guns. If you went out after dark to get dinner there were drunk people and people fighting in the streets... men would expose themself and urinate not caring who could see
The hotels facilities were filthy the bed had bed bugs and my husband was all bit up. The breakfast that was supposed to be included never existed. I feel lucky to be alive and out of that place!"
"We stayed at the carthage suite for 3 nights. It was very comfortable. There is a bar/lounge just one floor up but that did not bother me at all. We slept well, the room gets nice and dark for a great rest. The room was in a very clean condition. There is tea, coffee machine, and lots of choices to chose from the mini bar. The tub is very big, with a sink and big mirror. The toilet is separate with it's own sink. There is nice gel hand soaps, body soap and shampoo which were organic and smelled so nice. All the staff at the property were very polite and friendly. The breakfast was very fresh, with a chef making nice omelets, a nice expresso coffee maker, fresh baked bread, lots of desserts, cheeses, vegetables, and hot foods. The staff made us feel welcome. The entrance has a security that made me feel very safe. We also ordered room service, the food comes from the luna sky bar also which the food was superb. In addition, we walked around the hotel and there are so many nice coffee shops and a turkish restaurant with delicious foods. We loved our stay."
