A good and romantic stay!

convenient locationhelpful administratorquick transfer
The location proved wonderfully convenient. Major landmarks were easily accessible. My room included a mini fridge, a kettle with tea and coffee, a bottle of water, and cups. The administrator was very polite and helpful, arranged a transfer quickly.
The immediate area around the hotel felt a little unsafe at night.

Excellent Stay Near Tourist Spots

convenient locationkind staffclean roomlimited breakfast
The hotel is conveniently located near monuments and the Grand Bazaar. I found various local restaurants nearby. The staff was kind and helpful. Omar provided useful tips for getting around and recommended places to visit and food to eat. Shahzad was also very helpful. The room was spacious and clean. The shower and bathroom were equally clean.
The breakfast lacked variety and the portions were small each morning. I expected more options . The same items were offered daily.

The hotel offers a shuttle service between the hotel and the airport. This service requires a call or email to Omar. This made transportation very convenient.

attentive staffpleasant stayrecent bathroomsunsafe street
the staff was very attentive to our requests. they always tried to. standard double rooms, though small, were ok in terms of comfort. the bathrooms seem to be renovated quite recently.
the area felt questionable. i found myself on a dirty and unsafe street. it had dilapidated buildings and a depressing look.

i appreciated the efficient service at the front desk. the staff managed all guests well (it was a busy hotel). the shuttle service between the hotel and the airport was convenient. i found it easy to call or email to arrange it with omer.
the room was cleaned every five days. consumables and towels were changed at the same frequency. soap was never added, although i did ask for it because it was over.
