Beyond expectation

The experience was perfect, the staff is amazing. Special thank to Sultan for his attentions, Verdi for his willigness to help, Ali for his kind logistical arrangement and last but not least Afifa and the breakfast staff that were amazing. Mind you that they can prepare for you things like orange jus and omelette beyond what is presented in the buffet which have its value when you dont find you full classical.breakfast.

We stayed at this hotel for three nights and had a wonderful experience overall. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming and their hospitality truly stood out. They were always helpful and ready to assist with anything we needed. The only downside was that the room felt a bit small for us but everything else made up for it. A cozy place with great service in a perfect location.
