the hotel's location was fantastic, allowing easy walking access to key attractions. the staff were helpful, especially ahmed at reception who was very friendly. housekeeping ensured fresh towels and bedding changes after three nights of our five-night stay, which i appreciated.
The breakfast was somewhat poor. I found a piece of plastic lid in it.

limited varietyineffective air conditioning
the breakfast buffet was really underwhelming , i expected more variety. the shower in my room had some issues , it leaked onto the floor. i found that quite annoying and it made the bathroom floor constantly wet. the air conditioning wasn't very effective , it struggled to keep the room cool enough for my liking. the noise from the street was also quite noticeable , even with the windows closed.
