I am nearly 70 years old, I find it hard to say it out loud, I have been travelling for 50 years, I have visited maybe 80 different countries and stayed in hundreds of hotels. This is , quite simply, one of the best of them all. Can I try to explain why ?
On arrival it is so unassuming; a small entrance from a busy street in the middle of the ancient Medina. A single sign, it would be easy to miss, but inside, it is like Doctor Whoâs Tardis: only about 10 bedrooms arranged over four levels; each built around a central courtyard with tables, sunbeds and so on
It is immaculately clean and artistically decorated
The top floor is quiet, peaceful with a great view over the city. A perfect place to spend two hours with a book on sunny afternoon
The breakfast is one of the beds, not just as the food is so imaginative, but because of the friendly service, and the stunning location
We LOVED our bedroom: a large comfortable bed, high quality cotton (or was kt line ?) sheets and pillows, spotlessly clean, an architecturally stunning bathroom, tea, coffee, air con. We had it all, a little oasis among the hustle and bustle of the Medina
Top of the pops though come the staff at the hotel and that means everyone: a fine team,. Everybody friendly, everybody knowing their jobs. Nothing was too much to ask. They really made this feel like home
Finally, here is to tip. The hotel does not have a permanent restaurant but Expedia's limit on characters won't let me tell you anymore
