The harbor view was disappointing. It was mostly shipping containers. the service was also not good. my hairdryer didn't work, and it took three tries to get a replacement. the breakfast menu had egg dishes, but no one ever offered to take my order.

the staff welcomed me warmly from the beginning.. they were friendly and helpful. ebraheim stood out. the hotel's location was ideal for reaching both the city and the waterfront. the free water taxi was a plus. the breakfast offered many options. i particularly enjoyed the shaksuka.
the walk to the waterfront took more than 20 minutes. this felt indirect. the bus service ended early. i needed taxis after that and gates blocked the walk after 8pm. my ocean-facing room overlooked the port.. it was noisy due to container unloading early in the morning. i heard diggers working on the railway shortly after sunrise.
