"Staff was very courteous and helpful. 10/10 there. However, the hotel is situated next to a mosque. So, the noise of all the broadcasts was unbearable. And it was ramadan, so the noise was even more frequent than usual. Had to change my hotel within minutes. If you’re muslim, perhaps this would fit in with your travel plans. I’m not, though, so it was an unfortunate incident for me."
