-Nothing was good about it. - The staff were rude.. except one - no cleaning services - Bed was very dirty and make noise all the time.. we asked for Solving the problem but they didn't do anything. - The area is very noisy until 4 o'clock in the mornings.. the windows of course are not soundproof - The area is very crowded and the driving option is unlikely - the staff are limited and most of the hospitality services are not provided - It is not preferable place for families - I don't recommend this place at all for anyone - مكان سيء للغايه ولا يعكس التعليقات التي قرئتها عنه سابقا - لا يوجد اي معايير للناظفه ابدا - طاقم غير متعاون ولا يقدم خدمات الاساسيه للعملاء - الاسره قذره والملايات ممزقه وعلاوه على ذلك السرير قديم ويصدر اصوات وعند طلب حل المشكله لا يقوم القائمون على الفندق بأي مبادره - المكان مزعج ويوجد مراقص قربه والازعاج وصوت الاغاني الى الفجر مع العلم لا يوجد نوافذ عازله للصوت في المجمل المنطقه مكتضه وخيار قياده السياره صعب جدا - لا يصلح ابدا للعوائل ولا انصح به لاي احد اذا اراد الراحه - خدمه الواي فاي سيئه للغايه ولا تغطي جميع الغرف

Hotel staff are nice and welcoming, clean room (except the wooden shower floor), comfortable bed. BUT the only unforgivable sin for a hotel is thay you can’t get a good night’s sleep. There is a loud bar that plays live music about 7 meters from the hotel until around 4am. Only stay here if sleep is optional.
