The hotel rooms are comfortable, clean, and stylish after the renovation, but the lack of complimentary items like coffee, tea, and water being sold for money could be inconvenient. The service staff is polite and helpful despite the Wi-Fi disconnections every 10 minutes, and the need to pay for everything, including water.

The hotel offers convenient and comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks. The rooms have a connection door which can be an issue if neighbors are loud or sewage smells are present, yet they provide suitable water supply, essential in Arab countries. The cleanliness is maintained well, but I had to request room cleaning. The staff is doing a great job in the current situation with regular disinfection, though they could be more proactive in offering drinks.
