Good hotel, good location

Our third stay here and as good as previously. Although the bus station is so near and convenient the hotel is in a quiet location. Plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. Room had everything we needed. Particularly liked the room lighting. Often hotels have bedroom lighting too dim to read by. Reception staff very helpful.. Will stay again.

A nice well maintained hotel. We had hired a car so the free car park opposite was a bonus. Near to many restaurants, breakfast at the hotel was good. Roof top bathing area with a pool was super, if cold, just what you needed in the heat. Room was nice and clean but bed a bit hard.

Lack of air conditioning surprising

Great location for the bus station and reastaurants nearby. The hotel is clean, staff friendly and the breakfast buffet has something for all tastes and food cultures. However, the lack of air condition meant that our room temperature was a constant 25 degrees which was way too warm for a comfortable night's sleep. With traffic noise and Saharan dust outside, sleeping with the balcony door open wasn't really an option. The hotel lent us a fan which helped somewhat but as a 4 star hotel we thought air conditioning came as standard but clearly not.
