I had a lovely stay at this hotel, primarily due to its excellent location right within the Medina, close to all the main attractions. The rooms were clean but had a rather unique open bathroom setup that may not suit everyone's taste. The service was friendly and attentive, but I did feel that the dining options could use a little more variety. Overall, it's a great value for money, especially considering the comfort and convenience of the location.
