Overall, it was great value for money, with a lovely terrace view and access to local sights.

The hotel has a great location, just a short walk from main attractions, which made our sightseeing so easy. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, equipped with the essentials, although I did find the lack of air conditioning in one of the rooms a bit of a drawback.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel! The location couldn't be better, just a short walk to the stunning Blue Mosque and other major attractions. The rooms were clean and bright, though a tad on the small side, but that didn't bother me since I was mostly out exploring.
