The carpeted rooms of this friendly hotel make it feel more like a guesthouse than a hotel. The attractive traditional-style suite on the top floor (no lift) is decorated with fine plaster work and ceramics. Some English is spoken and the bar in the bright, open-plan lobby is a sociable meeting place. It's around a five-minute taxi drive to the citadel.
