rooftop views and a convenient location

rooftop views excellent breakfast

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my room's furniture felt a bit outdated and i noticed there was only one bedside cabinet, a minor inconvenience.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.

location was acceptable because it was near popular tourist spots.

The room was smaller than i had expected. also, the bathroom was not clean. I noticed visible mold. this was particularly concerning given i have very strict expectations for hygiene.
