Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is deeply nestled in the old medina's narrow alleys, making it a unique and authentic stay. The rooms are well-appointed and cozy, but the lack of basic toiletries was a downside. The service was exceptional, with helpful airport shuttle services available. The location offers a genuine experience away from the main tourist areas, perfect for exploring the alleys. The dining, highlighted by freshly caught fish, was a delightful experience. Overall, a charming hotel with character but lacking some essential room amenities.
