Dated facilities. Mixed experience

water rulerusty plug
The signs about not bringing outside food or drinks were annoying, especially the water rule! it was like they just wanted me to buy their overpriced stuff. the bathroom was a mess. The rusty plug in the bath leaked water everywhere. and they wanted me to leave my bike outside. i reluctantly booked a single night here, but if i had booked a longer stay i would have been very frustrated

Nice Stay

central locationfriendly staffrestrictive rule
I appreciated the hotel's central location. It was easy to walk to the medina and the train station. The staff were both friendly and helpful. I also received a free late check out and they watched my luggage.
I noticed signs everywhere stating that guests could not bring outside food or water into the hotel. This seemed quite restrictive, especially for those who prefer bottled water. I found this rule inconvenient.

The staff were very helpful and kind. It was clean and the bed WAS comfortable. I liked the free water and welcome biscuits.
Breakfast was very ordinary and not worth THE price. I prefer to eat outside the hotel. The pool area is small so it only needs a few people there and it's crowded.
