Cute and picturesque boutique hotel
This is a tiny hotel. The room and bathroom also tiny (at least ours was). This did not bother us, I actually loved the room and the bathroom. The bathroom looks new, very hot water and good pressure. The hotel rooftop has a perfect view of the Blue Mosque on one side and the ocean on the other. (between the rooftop and these sights you will also see ugly building rooftops. But this you will see from any hotel around. The staff is SO friendly and helpful and the breakfast, which was included for us was DELICIOUS. There was plenty of traditional food, but also plenty of food for picky eaters (cereal, bread, fruit, eggs, etc). The location is also fabulous. Very close to all the usual attractions as well as a couple of blocks from an exchange bank and about half a block away from a small mini market.
Negatives: very small rooms and bathroom. Mini fridge didn't seem to be cold enough--(we bought beer and wanted to cool them there, even the following day there weren't really that cold. It wasn't a big deal.)
Pros: charming, clean, good location, view, friendly english-speaking staff.
