Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The location is ideal, down the hill from the old city center, and it's right by the sea with easy access to 30-40 restaurants. The rooms were cozy, and the service was top-notch. The only downside was the limited dining options with small dishes, but the overall value for money was great.
This hotel is a hidden gem! The rooms offer breathtaking views and are wonderfully comfortable, but the dining options could use some improvement. The service is top-notch, and the location is simply perfect, though a bit on the pricey side. The facilities are modern and impressive, making for a relaxing stay.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! It's perfectly located by the sea and just a short walk to the Blue Mosque. The rooms were cozy with a lovely view, and the service was top-notch. However, the dining experience was a bit lacking in variety. Overall, a great value for the money with fantastic facilities.
