Heartfelt Hospitality and Helpful Staff

I had a triple room with plenty of space. Breakfast offered a good selection of items each morning. The staff was friendly especially Ahmed at the reception. His service was excellent! He provided very helpful information.
The television in my kids room didn't work upon our arrival, and they took it out to repair it. The television wasn't ever brought back or replaced it, a disappointment for the children.
