We had booked three months in advance but the owner claimed he hadn't a room for the first night of out three night stay. He put us across the road in a dump without hot water, locks, toilet paper or towels.. I know that this is not the first time he has done this. There was no apology or compensation.... more

Nice and friendly staff (Ahmed) who will most likely offer you free tea. Has some basis rooms for 600 or 700 SP a room (twee beds). Great deal for the budget traveller! Also is there a roof terrace where it's also possible to sleep! From the rooftop you'll have a nice view on the Citadel in the Old City. Hotel... more

no towels no loo paper no air con (it didn't work) in heat of over 40% How lonely planet can recommend this place beggars belief. On arrival we were asked "where you from" the response to our answer was "oh I hate the english". This encouraged us only to stay for one night and it was a night too much.... more

I especially liked the staff (they were genuinely friendly and helpful) and the great atmosphere in this hotel.

Its not clean, it is central and the staff are welcoming but whether its worth it I'm not sure. If you cant find loo roll in the souk, you may wish... more

worst hotel i stayed in - although ive been to probably the worst places on earth. place was cold - staff were cold. so dirty and unhygenic - towels were dirty. expensive but not worth it. more

clean, neat little hotel, with simple rooms and comfy beds. Friendly management. The location is absolutely great- right in the centre of things, but being down a small alley keeps the noise down. Highly recommended. more
