I loved staying at this hotel! The rooms were beautifully furnished with lovely antique furniture and there was even an extra bed for added convenience. The AC made the room very comfortable. The service was top-notch with their helpful airport pick-up service and quick responses to all our queries. The location couldn't be better, right in the center of the medina with easy access to restaurants and the bustling markets. The dining options were good, especially the variety in salads, although the bread was a bit hard. The hotel's facilities were great, making my stay very enjoyable.
