I must say, the hotel is nestled in a prime location, making it a breeze to reach top tourist spots with just a short stroll. The rooms were a surprising mix of old-fashioned charm and modern comfort. On the downside, the bathroom felt cramped, and the breakfast left a lot to be desired. The breakfast staff, unfortunately, were far from welcoming and left me feeling rather put off. Opting for a room without a view didn't quite meet my expectations either.

The service was a bit of a hit and miss - some staff struggled with English but tried their best to assist. The real stars were the friendly and helpful individuals, especially Yaseen, who stood out amidst the not-so-friendly counterparts.

Absolutely loved the ideal location that allowed me to reach all major attractions within a short 10-20 minute walk. Having a balcony overlooking the lively street added a nice touch to the experience.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the room was very comfortable with a balcony and a view, it felt outdated and cramped, especially for three people sharing. The bathroom was extremely small, and the breakfast was terrible, with unwelcoming staff. On the bright side, the service, particularly from Yaseen, was exceptional, and the location was perfect for exploring the city.
