    Good sized and well-equipped room, it had coffee/tea making equipment, an iron and ironing board, and a work desk. Liked view of swimming pool and cooperative staff with great service. Location: the hotel was close enough to the center of town and the sea or markets and Jaws Corner. There was a rooftop restaurant nearby.

    Sadly, but there was bad smell in some areas.

    The hotel was in a good and incredible location near Tourist attractions for what we wanted it for. A cool bonus was nearby Ma Shaa Allah Cafe, that offered tea and coffee. The whole room was good sized and modernly furnished and had a safe box, multi-channel television, and a mini bar fridge.
