First of all staff was pleasant and helpful.
There was a narrow balcony off my room and the views were lovely. The room is in need of a refresh — all furnishings and lighting should be replaced. The bed was firm, but comfortable. When I asked anyone at the reception about nearby restaurants there was no hesitation in helping me. One young woman even did some internet searches for me—very kind.
The air conditioning in the room wasn’t working and the room was way too hot during my stay. In the evening I opened the balcony door, but it was still too warm. I could hear the person in the next room, too clearly. My room had a jetted tub though I just used the shower. The tub leaked lots of water onto the bathroom floor even though I had the glass partition in place.
Breakfast was good; it was a buffet and they made the cappuccino and other coffee drinks for guests. There were many options on the buffet including multiple types of sweets, scrambled eggs, cheese, sliced meat, fresh fruit and more. Today they had pomegranate seeds— a nice treat. The staff kept the buffet well stocked and tidy.
Location-wise: it’s close to the bus station and a ten minute walk to the walled city. Also, I needed to do a load of laundry and was directed to one within walking distance. I walked back and forth to the walled city during the day and after dark. I am a single senior female and I felt safe making those walks.
