We were looking for an accommodation which was not too expensive and found this one. It's about 25 minutes walking from the old city. Rooms are clean but could use some maintenance. No special place but if you look for affordable accommodation, not too far from the old city, it's a nice place.

MoreThe hotel is located in a charming old Arab house with a lot of potential. The neighbourhood of Bakah is nice, quiet and still within walking distance of the First Train Station and the Old City. The person that welcomed us at the reception was nice. We expected a nice boutique hotel. However the hotel is run down and dirty. We got a simple room on the back with a view to a large building site. There was dust underneath the furniture. The bathroom as seen better days and it is difficult to get a nice shower. Breakfast is served in a covered annex. Also there, there are broken lights, broken trays. The food was good but not exceptionally so.
Less“Nice place”
“Amazing experience!”
We stayed in the hotel for 2 nights. Very nice and comfortable. Excellent breakfast. Not so close but close enough to the city center and to the Old City. Small and makes you feel at home. We'll come again!
