Hotel itself is in a very good condition, rooms are very nice - thats the good part. The problem we had with the rooms was - the fact that air conditioning was not working! Of course we complained but they haven't done anything to solve that problem for us. So i can imagine it can get pretty hot in the summer!:)
However the main problem is the quality of service and cleanliness! Specifically the cups in the rooms were dirty, cleaning ladies clean floor, garbage basket and bathroom sink with the same cloth!! Taxi service is very poor. We had to wait for 50 minutes for a taxi, because the porter had mistakenly given our taxi to the other guest. And therefore we were late for our appointment! No excuse, no apology...
Of course, you can not expect the same level of service in Tiemcen hotel as in metropolitan cities or top tourist destinations, but still service should and can be improved. Overall i think this is the best hotel in the area, but definitely be prepared for compromises.
