9/10 Wonderful! (213 reviews)
Fabulous breakfast in the open air restaurant overlooking the city and sea. Well worth the money. The staff was very attentive to providing plenty of water for my pregnant daughter.
The rooms are updated and modern, with lovely air conditioning. The hotel sits high on a hill, so there is always walking uphill at the end of the day.

This is a really good hotel. The location is excellent and very clean. Even though it’s right on Istiklal street, but no noise at night in the room. The breakfast was really good. But the best part was the extremely kind and helpful staff. Jurideh, Feret and all the staff did everything that they could, to help us in every possible way. I highly recommend this hotel.
