quiet streethelpful receptionist
The hotel is close to many restaurants. I found it convenient. the receptionist booked one of my tours. That helped a lot. i was escorted to the palace because i had no internet, this was thoughtful.
I found the street a little noisy at night. It made sleeping a little difficult.

adequate stay near main attractions

central locationfresh breaddated hotelunhelpful staff
the location was very central. it was really close to the main attractions like both mosques. the breakfast included daily freshly made items (i especially enjoyed the fresh bread!).
the hotel is a bit dated, it could use some updates. the front desk staff weren't always very helpful with directions (i had to rely on google maps a few times).
