Positive: The best location with such an amazing view of the mosques. We loved waking up in the morning and sitting on the terrace for people watching haha. The breakfast is always so delicious and the staff incredibly welcoming and paying attention to details. Beautiful view from the room, the bed was very comfortable. It was just the perfect stay for our city break❤️ Can't wait for next time.
