“ A nice place, can be noisy at night, but so close to the Djemma it doesn't matter. The best thing you can do is get the airport transfer, you won't find it otherwise. ”

“ sucio, antiguo, todo olia a humedad, incluso por la mañana cuando despertabas la ropa estaba mojada. Los trabajadores eran majos, pero no se enteraban de nada,incluso casi nos hacen paragar dos veces xq el segundo día decían que no se acordaban de nosotros al volver a entrar al riad ”
