I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were luxurious, with a fabulous top terrace overlooking the city. The bathroom was so spacious, and the bed with plush cushions was incredibly comfortable. The service was impeccable, from the manager to the waiting staff and cleaners who even arranged a sunset camel ride for us. The location, set within an ancient oriental palace, was unbeatable, right in the heart of the city near all the attractions. The dining experience with traditional Italian dishes was top-notch. The facilities were impressive, making my stay truly memorable.
