The hotel is located in a safe and quiet spot near the popular drop-off square, right beside the Souks and very close to the big square and taxi station. The rooms, while a good size for a family of four with 2 extra beds, felt a bit cramped once luggage was in. The service was friendly, helpful, and not intrusive, with tasty local pancakes offered. The dining experience featured a variety of delicious options, especially the English breakfast with fried eggs and pancakes.
