Excellent Location and Breakfast

main locationhelpful staffexcellent viewbathroom mold
The hotel's location was fantastic. It was literally five minutes from the main tourist sites. The staff were very helpful and organised a taxi to and from the airport for me. The view from the rooftop restaurant was excellent, a very nice bonus to my experience here.
The hotel room had some issues, the bathroom had mold. This was a small thing, but it affected my overall experience.

cracked tileslow pressure
I was a little disappointed with our room. it felt quite cramped. the bathroom was also showing its age. I noticed some cracked tiles and the shower head wasn't the best, it gave a weak spray, the water pressure was very low. I found it hard to get properly clean.

quiet stay near major sights

quiet streetdouble glazingterrace viewcomfortable bed
The hotel's location was perfect. It was on a quiet street, so there was no street noise. i barely noticed the early morning call to prayer with the double glazing. it was an easy walk to the metro, good restaurants, and all the sights. breakfast was really good. It included a wonderful view from the terrace. the staff was helpful, and the bed was comfortable.
the rooftop bar was rarely open, and the prices were high when it was.

The breakfast offered a wide selection of fresh fruits, pastries, eggs, and vegetables every morning. It was served on a rooftop terrace with amazing views. there was also the option to have dinner on the terrace with a set menu. this was convenient after a long day.
