10/10
The owners represent the greatest attributes of hospitality, kindness, and generosity; they made our stay incredibly rewarding and special. The rooms are aesthetically pleasing, and breakfast is very good. The hotel is a beautifully restored former mansion with very nice attention to detail and design attributes. The location in the Old Town is perfect and within easy walking distance to Fish Lake, the mosque, and historic bazaar.
There are a few areas we think are a result of a new facility sorting things out that may affect your stay. The downstairs rooms surround a courtyard which is ideal for breakfast or afternoon tea. This is nice except when people are in the courtyard or going in/out of their rooms. In those cases, it got loud. The hotel is set up well for families/larger groups which compounds the noise as they gather in this common space. Combine this with local cafes that play deep bass music until 2300, and you cannot say this is a quiet hotel; a small price to pay to be in the Old Town, in our opinion. The Wifi is adequate for download basics, but the upload is marginal for photos or other heavier data needs; it’s also a bit spotty. The hot water gets very warm, but it does take a few minutes to arrive. While we managed around all this, we wanted to point them out as they may be a concern for others.
We 100% recommend this hotel. Over time, while we may forget the hotel name, we shall never forget our warm, wonderful hosts.
