“In my opinion, this is a hotel where personalized service truly shines, thanks to dedicated staff. Its location, while in a local part of the Medina, is still convenient for accessing major attractions. I especially appreciate that the rooms are individually decorated, avoiding the usual uniformity, and the option for on-site dining clearly elevates the stay.”
