The staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, and they were able to communicate in English, which was very helpful.
I would like to express my gratitude to Sina and the rest of the staff for their assistance in planning and organizing our last-minute travels.
The hotel provided a delicious breakfast with a variety of halal options.
We experienced a slightly uncomfortable night due to a malfunctioning air cooler, but the staff promptly provided us with fans to alleviate the situation.
Overall, it was a brilliant location, and I would stay again.
