8/10 Very good

Great boutique hotel in amazing location. Staff were so helpful and kind, we loved Yousuf, the housekeeping and reception staff, they were always happy to help. Room was a bit snug for 3 people but very manageable. My only qualm was the pillow was a bit high and hard but I should’ve asked reception to change it. Breakfast was lovely and I would definitely recommend it to others. Spa was a bit pricey compared to other places and the roof top views were amazing, although they don’t serve shisha upstairs.

Nice stay

Hotel is conveniently located in the old town and within walking distance to public transport to go further afield. The reception staff were very informative and assisted with your bookings. The hotel has a lovely rooftop bar and restaurant which was a plus. The elevator needs some upgrades and is slow. It often would go in the opposite direction.
