I couldn't have asked for a better stay at this hotel. The rooms were immaculately clean, spacious, and boasted stunning views from the balcony. The staff went above and beyond in delivering top-notch customer service, making me feel right at home. The location, right across from the grand mosque, was unbeatable, and I enjoyed every moment of my time there. However, the dining experience, especially the lack of included drinks, left a bit to be desired.
