    It was in a particularly good location next to Riadha House. A safe box, cable channels and a mini-fridge-bar were available in our a double room. The service was excellent with an efficient check-in.

    Shame the bathroom was terrible.

    spacious room
    neglected pool area

    The ambiance was relaxing and the staff were

    Very attentive. I enjoyed my stay in the Superior Room, spacious and well-appointed. The pool area could use a little more maintenance, as it felt a bit neglected .

    fine views
    rooftop terrace
    awkward mini bar

    I adored the fine views from my spacious Superior Room. The rooftop terrace was quite the gem for sunset gazing. And let's not forget the conference facilities, very handy for work!

    But my poor knees are still recovering from that shower door fiasco! And what's with the mini bar needing a gym membership just to open?

    comfortable room
    heated swimming pool
    easy access

    Couldn't recommend more for a short interlude

    Comfortable room, clean room with a superb bed and easy access to a heated swimming pool, making it the ideal place to relax after a day of exploration just 7 km from the international airport.

    It was all perfect.

    great hospitality but room could use more amenities

    The welcome from Violet at reception was warm and genuine, easing our travel fatigue. The personalized touches, like the welcome note and good treats from Jimmy, added a special flair to our stay. The city view from our spacious room was quite wonderful.
