The staff was friendly, especially at the reception. I want to mention Khalid, he was especially helpful. The hotel offered many activities. It had board games, a PS5, a gym, and a pool.
The air conditioning control was not very effective. The lights switched on and off automatically during the night, disruptive. I could hear the water pipes inside the walls (it sounded like a train passing by).
