We loved it here! The room aesthetic made it so comfortable and welcoming to come back to after each day. It is also located in a great area but far enough away from the busy city. Will definitely stay here again.

Kensington Gem
The Hotel was lovely - great location, very Moroccan feel to the decor, rooms were spacious and comfortable.
The onsite restaurant had just had all new staff, so service was a little chaotic but the food was amazing.

My staying was absolutely perfect. The hotel is incredible but what made everything even more perfect was the staff - I don’t think I ever stayed in a hotel where people were so kind, so friendly and so welcoming as this. Defined will be coming back, and 90% of me coming back has to do with the staff.
