Breakfast on the terrace front of the blue mosque at one side and the sea on the other side, Very romantic. The hotel is... More

Yes some of the rooms a smallish but the location is incredible and I cannot repeat strongly enough how impressed we were with the staff. I have been in too many hotels to mention but these guys were fantastic. Breakfast was simple but a lot of it... More

The breakfast is poor and as for the service they say it is... More

We loved the location of the hotel. The price is also reasonable. The manager goes out of his way to accommodate and help. For example, he let us use the kitchen (we cleaned up), and gave us great advice on where to go and what to see. He is a very kind person. The reason I don't give it a... More

Comfort and quality of rooms is not a big priority for me at my age, and to be honest I spent little time in... More
