I love the location and easy access to things to do in the vicinity. Breakfast needs to be improved due to the inconvenience of a remote restaurant affiliated to the hotel.

Centrally located, above all the "action". Great restaurants across the street. Guest friendly. Staff are responsive and very helpful. The rooms are basic; beds are comfortable; But expect lots of noise at night. The included breakfast is at a nearby restaurant.

The room is a boutique room. Definitely a space for 1 or a couple that is down to earth and travelling on a budget. I stayed here for a night and had no issues with safety within the property. Staff were helpful even with their limited knowledge of English.

GREAT LOCATION AND STAFF
Verified review

The location was in the heart of the Walled City which made it super convenient to everything, however it also made it a bit loud at night while trying to sleep (def need ear plugs). The hotel room was spacious, the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was clean with hot water. Check In/Out was very easy and the host communicated very well through WhatsApp. There’s also free breakfast right around the corner which we really enjoyed.

This is my second time staying at this establishment and I can honestly say the staff is well attentive to guests needs even during new ownership and renovations. They keep the hotel clean and safe and are always available to answer any questions you may have. Alfonso and Andrea are the perfect duo with an amazing team supporting them. Big improvement over the previous management.

The hotel staff are friendly. The rooms are nice and clean. From the balcony, you have a nice view of the action on the street near the clock. The locked door and camera seem to be helpful. The police are usually always in the area as well. I had a great visit and will stay again.
