The room was FANTASTIC, and clean! — we really appreciated the upgrade. Malcolm made us feel very welcome, but everyone else was a bit cold. Breakfast was OK. Location is right behind a souk, which is convenient.

Lovely artsy stay

Really love the vibe of this hotel. Refreshing design and interior amongst the standard colorless hotels that are dominating todays world. I especially liked the little library zones, the rooftop bar and restraurant, and the art all around the hotel. The windows in my room didnt have any view to outside or any sun coming in, but it didnt bother me too much as the room was very big.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
clean property, great service and the food was okay. However, as it is on the Main Street, it is too noisy at night and not suitable to walk around at night. Not ideal with family trip, but okay for quick overnight business trip type stays. Parking is all valet it seems. Although advertised as free self parking, the parking lot is on the other side of the street and with limited area to drop off luggage and valet is essential, not quite ideal hotel for family trip or stay
