I had a lovely stay at this hotel with my family. The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated, perfect for our needs. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our visit. However, while the dining options were good, they leaned a little too sweet for my taste. Overall, it was a memorable trip, and I felt like it offered great value for money.

Staying at this hotel was a unique experience. The rooms blend traditional and deco styles, giving them a charmingly faded grandeur while still being very comfortable. I really appreciated the friendly service throughout my stay. The location makes it easy to explore the Medina, but I did find the breakfast selection a bit lacking. All in all, it was good value for money, despite a few minor drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of charm and a few quirks. The rooms exuded a sense of classic style combined with comfort, but they could have used a little more dusting. The staff went out of their way to ensure my needs were met, yet some administrative tasks left me a bit puzzled. The location was super convenient for exploring the area, and the dining had plenty of room for improvement. Overall, it felt like a great value for the price despite its minor setbacks.

The hotel was perfectly located within an easy walking distance to the main market area, which made exploring the Medina a breeze. Plus, there was a taxi stand just steps away for those longer trips.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were huge, luxurious, and impeccably clean, which made for a really comfortable experience. The staff went above and beyond to be friendly and helpful, making my stay even better. On the downside, the dining options could be sweeter since the breakfast tended to be on the sugary side, and I felt the service in the dining area could use a little improvement. Overall, it's definitely a place I would recommend for a relaxing getaway!

The staff was exceptionally accommodating, especially when it came to dietary needs. However, breakfast options could have been more diverse. The location was convenient for exploring the nearby Medina, but I had to spend some time navigating administrative requests for passport copies.
