rooftop views and a convenient location
rooftop viewsexcellent breakfastmissing plug
the hotel's location was fantastic, placing me just a short distance from the blue mosque.. the rooftop terrace provided amazing views, and the breakfast selection up there was excellent. rooms were cleaned thoroughly each day and the staff thoughtfully replenished the water bottles.
my room's furniture felt a bit outdated and i noticed there was only one bedside cabinet, a minor inconvenience. although a bathtub was listed as an amenity, it turned out to be a half bath, and it was missing a plug.
