It
was
a
somewhat
frustrating
experience
but
with
easy
things
to
get
right,
as
so
many
have
already
said:
1)
get
the
air-conditioning
working
2)
change
the
old
worn
and
dirty
room
carpets
3)
use
real
tissue
boxes,
not
harsh
kitchen
roll
in
the
bedrooms
4)
sort
out
the
hotel
taxi
scam
service
(trusting
a
double
the
going
rate
payment
to
the
hotel
concierge
to
arrange
a
high
class
taxi,
later
to
be
presented
with
a
damaged
old
dented
taxi
with
a
smashed
windscreen,
with
the
driver
demanding
payment
at
the
end
of
the
journey
for
which
we
had
already
paid
to
the
hotel!!
(Contrary
to
the
hotel's
reply,
yes
a
taxi
service
was
originally
booked
through
Dnata,
but
it
they
didn't
turn
up,
so
the
hotel
doorman/porter
offered
to
arrange
as
already
mentioned,
witnessed
by
reception
staff.
Breakfast
was
lukewarm
to
cold
on
the
third
day.
6)
WiFi
comes
and
goes.
7)
whilst
friendly,
improve
the
reception
service
level.
So
what
was
good?
The
location
is
excellent
and
central
for
walking
to
shops,
restaurants,
the
old
city,
and
the
sea
front
promenade.
The
hotel
restaurant
has
a
lovely
rooftop
setting
with
great
views,
bar,
plants,
books,
a
piano,
and
budgies
chirping
in
many
cages
(their
water
needs
checking
please)
add
to
a
special
ambience.
