The hotel is perfectly located in the center of the Medina, making it convenient and peaceful. The rooms offer a great ensuite bathroom and a comfy bed, though the lack of decent air conditioning was a downside. The service was outstanding, with staff accommodating all requests and providing detailed information about the area. Dining was enjoyable on the rooftop with delightful vermicelli options. The facilities were satisfactory, meeting basic needs for a pleasant stay.
