Het was in de oude medina en derhalve vlakbij de winkelstraatjes ,cafe's en restaurants.De medina is niet toegankelijk voor auto's en onze auto moesten wij dan ook buiten de muren parkeren.Daar heeft ie zonder problemen dan ook gestaan.Wij deden alles te voet.Wij hebben het naar onze zin gehad.

Nice and friendly hotel

Although the front desk clerk couldn't really speak any English, but he was very friendly! Tried his best to understand my questions! The room was very comfortable and clean! Breakfast was good on the terrace! There were noises from the street at night, but if you choose to stay inside the Medina, I guess that's come with the package! Highly recommend!

Service poor

We booked a triple room, but upon arrival was told there were none available, although we were given two separate rooms to accommodate the 3 of us. The single bed I slept on was terrible as was the pillow. We asked for laundry service, which we were told our clothing would be back in 24 hours. The following day when we advised we needed to leave early, our dirty laundry was returned unwashed. Very disappointing.
