Riad A La Belle Etoile

Nothing. I had booked only one night via booking.com and additional 5 nights agreed only by mail with the owner. I was in shock at the situation of the place and wanted to leave the next morning. He held me hostage and threatened me and kept insisting I pay for the whole stay eventhough there was nothing legally binding. Until I got local support he settled for 2 nights and let me go. If I were not in Arab country I would be able to sue him for detaining me and holding me hostage. No matter what it is illegal to trap someone behind locked doors!!!! He is a fraud, and his place is nothing like a hotel, I was totally tricked with the message from booking.com and will never use this site again for booking my hotel stays.

There were no locks to the room neither inside the room for luggage. The bar lock was from outside as well as inside so someone can lock you in the room. The rooms are exposed to each other. Dirty. Old. Uncomfortable. Not sercure. You have no privacy. It's like one big house with 5 rooms open to each other. A cracky wooden door seperating the rooms. The owner is a aggressive and hostile, I was a victim of harrasement (detained). In all cases, no hotel worldwide ever makes you pay for the rest of your reservation. As long as you iform them of your next day check out before noon you get charged for the duration of your stay only.

Away from turistic areas. Decoration very nice!

Payment by cash, no credit card!! No good views from terrace. Not as good as it looks on the website! Just a 3 star hotel.

Very good view from the terrace, Old city (medina) around, Interior is very nice in arabic thematic.

Don't even consider taking this room on the terrace - it's smelly, noisy and dirty. Rooms on first floor should be okay.

The room was excellent concerning the view of the city, the river and the sea. Self cooking facility was sufficient.

I wanted to be guided to my room sooner.
