Nightmare Scam
This was a nightmare experience. We booked through Hotels.Com. This was one of the few hotels "available" on a busy weekend. Imagine our surprise when we arrived and discovered the hotel was a gutted shell in the process of being renovated. The restaurant on the ground floor was still open, but we got only a shrug and were told to go away. So, we spent the next few hours searching out an alternative space to stay. During the rest of the day, we saw others arriving at the Mechoura Darna to have the same nightmare experience. Why is Hotels.com even listing this place as available?

Great Locction but noisy
The Hotel is in a great location and if you get a street facing room you can watch the world go bye. The problem is that the staff are not overly concerned with making it an excellent stay. The bar downstairs is also very noisy and unless you want to sing along from your room, you wont get any sleep till after 2.

Fregatura !!!
Eravamo un gruppo di sei persone . Le nostre camere erano state date ad altri !!!!!!! Non si è' capito di chi fosse la responsabilità . Abbiamo chiamato per 6 (sei ) volte hotels .com ma tutte le volte cadeva la linea misteriosamente !!! Per fortuna ci hanno dato un altro albergo ma a 5 km dal centro !!!! Vorrei ancora spiegazioni . Grazie
