mixed feelings about my stay
hidden location disruptive noise
I encountered a couple of issues . the location was quite hidden. More visible signage could definitely help. also, noise from the hallway was noticeable in my room late at night due to people chatting. i found this disruptive, particularly when trying to sleep. Better soundproofing would improve the guest experience.

traditional room well appointed room clean place tidy place noisy room late night disruptive noise
the room was good. it was very traditional and well appointed. the place was very clean and kept tidy every day. i appreciated that it took us just two minutes to get to the main souks (it made exploring very easy).
the location of the hotel is very hidden. it can be noisy in the room when people are coming later and chatting in the hall. i noticed this especially late at night. this was a bit disruptive (even though i usually sleep soundly).
