A brief but enjoyable stay in this quirky but immaculate hotel. If you are a lover of unusual modern art and sculpture, this is the place for you. The 1970s style cubist buildings are straight out of a James Bond movie. |We were greeted warmly at reception and shown to our spacious room with huge shower room, comfortable bed and plenty of space. My only quibble would be that the person who showed us to our room didn’t explain where to go for breakfast or dinner, or even how the pool worked – e.g. pool service, sunbeds etc. We didn’t stay for breakfast as we were going into the Medina very early. However we did decide to eat there in the evening and even finding the dining room was tricky in the dark – we nearly ended up going into somebody’s room – this links back to our initial arrival and how useful it would’ve been to be shown where to go. Dinner was a bit of a disappointment, the menu was small, the restaurant was empty and with harsh overhead lighting it felt like we were dining in a canteen rather than a restaurant. Granted, it’s a Muslim hotel in a Muslim country but we were surprised to be told there was no alcohol served having found alcohol served in every other establishment we had visited. However, the location, tranquility and spaciousness made it a very special hotel.
