Great location and overall cozy hotel, however, our room had several black mold spots. We booked a 4 bed room and the 4th bed was an auxiliary bed. Hope they will fix the issues with the mold, the hotel has all the potential to be a excellent place.

The hotel is in an amazing location just 20 seconds from the Blue Mosque. The location made it easy to get to all the attractions easily. The hotel is small and slightly tired but the rooms were very nice, clean and had air conditioning. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, they arranged transfers, checked train times, gave directions, organised trips etc, all with a smile. Overall the hotel and service was awesome.
