VERY BAD
Cons:

I found this hotel online and thought the design looked nice, but the actual experience was very disappointing. The hotel felt dark and empty, and the restaurant was not operating. My room had several moths and the bed was not clean. There was no hot water in the bathroom, and when I asked the staff, the response was unfriendly and unhelpful. The staff told me not their problem can you believe that.
I was also woken up at night by loud sounds from outside, and the poor soundproofing made it hard to sleep. Overall, I cannot recommend this hotel based on my stay.

Pros:

L’emplacement sur un axe principal de la ville est vraiment un plus. La fontaine à eau à disposition est très pratique. Le personnel s’est arrangé pour nous permettre de faire notre Check out très matinal.

Cons:

Manque de luminosité dans la chambre, les portes sont très fines et on entend tout à l’extérieur. La mosquée est collée à l’hôtel, ce qui est très surprenant à 6h du matin.
