Stay at the Celine Hotel and you won't be disappointed.
Pros:

The hotel is a few blocks from the Blue Mosque, and within walking distance of the bazaar, spice market, and all old town sites. The hotel is beautifully restored and decorated. My bathroom was modern and immaculate. The woodwork is gorgeous. Included breakfast was wonderful. The cost was less than half what we paid in Munich.

Cons:

The four or five steps from street level to the ground floor level could be problematic for those who can't climb stairs. On the ground floor level is an elevator. There isn't anything that I disliked.

Un albergo eccellente in posizione strategica e ad un prezzo ragionevole
Pros:

La posizione ideale per la visita della città, lo stile dell'albergo, la colazione ricchissima con prodotti tipici e proposte per tutti i gusti, la cortesia e professionalità del personale, la pulizia e i servizi dell'albergo, la puntualità del servizio navetta aeroportuale.

Cons:

Per chi ha il sonno leggero, la preghiera mattutina del muezzin della vicina moschea può essere causa di risveglio forzato... ma viaggiando occorre adeguarsi agli usi locali!

A charming hotel with an unbeatable location and wonderful staff, despite a few downsides.
Pros:

The staff was incredibly friendly, and the accommodation was wonderful overall. It's a small, cozy hotel with a great atmosphere, a delicious breakfast and an excellent location, situated right near multiple historic and tourist attractions.

Cons:

The ground-floor location of our room meant we experienced more noise than expected. Sleep quality was affected by the mattress, which lacked support and had a small dip in the middle. We encountered an issue with the air conditioning failing one afternoon. Although the staff wasn't able to provide an immediate solution, they did get it working again.

Pros:

Mimo lokalizacji w ścisłym centrum w pokojach hotelowych jest cicho (nawoływania muezina są słyszalne w całym mieście, ale to tylko 5 minut). Hotel bardzo fajny, butikowy, wygodny.

Cons:

Kurz pod łóżkiem

It is located within walking distance of major tourist attractions. The hotel managers/receptionists were exceptional and willing to go above and beyond their duties. They even took me to a local barber shop for a shave!!
