Very short stay, but great for what was needed
Pros:

Great airport transfer and nice clean hotel

Cons:

Requested 3 people staying on booking, when we arrived only 1 double bed in the room, they did put up another bed but it took up the whole room as the room was quite small, but we were only there for 1 night so no big deal

Friendly staff and delicious food with a great view
Pros:

Very friendly and helpful staff. We also appreciated the information package sent before arrival, which made everything easier. The restaurant serves delicious food, and the view overlooking the main mosque is really special and adds to the overall experience.

Cons:

Nice stay, but be aware of the nearby mosques. We had a pleasant stay overall. Just keep in mind that the property is located right next to two mosques, so you may hear prayers over loudspeakers at night and early in the morning. It’s part of the local culture, but light sleepers might find it a bit disturbing.

Gdyby nie hałas z meczetu , to byłby bardzo udany
Pros:

Hotel ładny , personel hotelu pomocny i bardzo miły , faja restauracja z dobrym jedzeniem na dachu budynku.

Cons:

Hotel jest dosłownie na wyciągnięcie ręki od meczetu i jeżeli komuś przeszkadza hałas modlitw , które odbywają się kilka razy ( dzień , noc ) , to nie polecam , bo nawet zatyczki do uszu nie pomagają.

Great staff. Tiny rooms and EXTREMELY LOUD CALL TO PRAYRR.
Pros:

Staff were lovely and welcoming. Airport pick up fantastic no issues.

Cons:

Extremely small rooms. But the worst thing was the EXTREMELY LOUD call to prayer wake up at 5.15am. Hotel provides ear plugs to guests due to this issue. VERY LOUD!!!
