central locationart collectionblocked ramp
the location is very central, near the souk. the rooms are spacious. The ART collection displayed throughout the hotel, including a picasso painting, was really excellent.
The entrance ramp was often blocked by parked vehicles. it made dropping off luggage quite difficult. i believe the hotel could resolve this minor issue.
