Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel's rooms are beautifully designed and spacious, although they can be noisy due to weak windows. The service is exceptional with professional and helpful staff, while the location, despite being within the Medina, may seem intimidating at night. The dining experience has room for improvement, and the hotel's facilities are satisfactory.
The hotel's staff were extremely helpful and welcoming, and the rooms were pretty big and really clean, offering plenty of space. However, the location could be a bit rough, especially at night. The dining options were ok but nothing extraordinary.
The hotel is extremely clean and beautifully designed, offering spacious rooms. The welcoming staff couldn't have been more helpful. However, the noise level due to weak windows might be bothersome at times.
