Reviews and Ratings
I had a nice stay at the hotel. The rooms were luxurious with a stunning view of a mosque against a mountain backdrop. The service was truly world-class, though at times, it felt a bit distant. The location was convenient for walking around the city but had some issues with ventilation. The dining experience was good overall, and the facilities were well-maintained.
The hotel had a great location in the very city center, making it convenient for exploring the area easily. The rooms were relatively small but had a comfortable king-size bed, a nice view of a mosque in front of a mountain backdrop, and were complete with all necessary features. The service was friendly and welcoming, with staff going the extra mile to provide excellent service. However, the dining experience was a letdown with limited options, and the location felt suffocating and smelly at times.
The hotel offers a smallish but adequate room selection, not quite reaching five-star standards, but my suite was very pleasant with a lovely view of a mosque nestled against a mountain backdrop. Service was top-notch at the restaurant, with the hotel manager's oversight evident in the world-class service provided by the food and waiting staff, although a slight air of distance was felt. You can't beat the location for parking convenience and easy access to the city, although the surroundings were a bit suffocating at times with a smelly atmosphere hindering open window comfort. The dining experience, apart from minor issues, offered good quality buffet-style meals. The facilities were sufficient for a comfortable stay.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with comfortable rooms offering a nice view of a mosque against a mountain backdrop. The service was friendly and welcoming, though not always the most competent in touristic matters. The location was convenient, being close to the historic city center. The dining experience was decent, with good quality food but a lack of exceptional service. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor drawbacks.
The hotel offers luxurious rooms with an over-the-top red fabric and gold-trimmed furniture design, plush and very clean, providing a pleasant stay. Although the room size is smallish, it is adequate, though not quite at a five-star level.
