Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The rooms had a terrific ambiance and excellent air conditioning, making it great to relax by the pool and watch the birds. The manager even called me to give precise instructions for finding the hotel if I arrived by taxi, which was a lovely surprise.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were really nice, beautiful, cool, and comfortable. The service was top-notch, with staff that were discreet, polite, and friendly. The location, though a little far from the main markets, was still walkable and in the heart of the medina. The dining experience was just wonderful, offering a variety of delicious options. Overall, a great value for money with a few small drawbacks.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were incredibly spacious and beautiful, even better than the pictures online. The ambiance was terrific, and the air conditioning made it so relaxing to chill by the pool while watching the birds. The manager even called to give me directions for the taxi driver, which was a nice touch. However, the location, although peaceful, was a bit tricky to navigate through the narrow streets. Overall, a fantastic experience with great value for money.
