Friendly staff, very helpful and accommodating. The location of the hotel is just perfect and so close to historic sites and shopping areas.

10/10 Exceptional

This property was one of the best locations I have ever stayed at. The staff and front desk are extremely kind and helpful. The property is located within walking distance of most the major sites and in stones throw of the Blue Mosque. There is a wonderful bazaar right out the front door, great restaurants that are open late all around, and a convenient store 20 feet from the entrance of the hotel. Great hotel, would definitely stay again.

Very honest and sincere.
Very cold Hotel. No phone. Communication through face to face only which is very inconvenient when you are sick also because of that cold. Which they created for us with not having strong heating system. Very cultural.

This is a great hotel! Perfect location. Bazar literally across the street along with The mezcal ( not sure if the spelling) restaurant. Really good food and sheesha. Talk to Adam ask for his secret tea. Short walk to both mosques. Hotel and rooms were nice. Staff was great. No lift but they helped with our bags.
