We stayed at this hotel from April 05 to April 12.2016. Occupied 2 rooms (2 and 3-bed) on the 5th floor (512 and 514 rooms).
Nothing special was expected from the hotel. We planned to spend little time at the hotel. The main purpose of the trip is to visit the sights, walk around the city, relax on the beach.
On the first day we paid a hotel tax (70 dirhams for 1 room for 7 nights).

Room: the beds are normal, quite comfortable, the bedding is clean. The blanket only looked strange, in fact it is a thin blanket between two sheets that are not fixed to each other, which is not very convenient. The toilet and bathroom are quite good, there was no mold. The water pressure is excellent, the water is hot. I did not like the furniture in the room (table, wardrobe, bedside tables) - old design and in very poor condition. There was a small fridge in the room which is a plus. But a shelf. where the refrigerator is located is very dirty and dusty. The room was cleaned every day, but it was superficial cleaning (beds were made, towels were changed, the curtain in the bathroom was adjusted). The dust was not wiped off, the windows are dirty, it seems that they have not been washed for half a year.
The room is not hot. The air conditioner was turned on only 1-2 times. There was no music in the evenings / nights, so it was comfortable to fall asleep.
Breakfast: there were sausages, eggs every day, meatballs, cheese, bread, rice with vegetables, fried meat, milk, cereal, tea, coffee, watermelon, pineapple. We ate and did not want to eat until 2 in the afternoon. Personally, I did not like the spices in many dishes, quite specific. The dining room is dirty: dusty windows, cheap furniture, stained tablecloths. If you came to breakfast quite late and there was little food left, then they approached the staff who work in the dining room and asked to add food. They brought it unconditionally.
Many wrote in the reviews that bedbugs were noticed. We didn't have them in our rooms. But, there were cockroaches. We saw them repeatedly in room 512 and in the dining room (one ran straight along the sign "Pita restaurant" =))))
The advantage of the hotel is that it is really very close to the metro, less than 5 minutes walk. They don't take you to the beach from the hotel anymore. We went on our own to Al mamzar (there are paid and free beaches), by taxi. The price was different each time, depending on whether there were traffic jams or not, which way we went. Approximately 22-27 dirhams (155-190 UAH) one way. But, there were 5 of us, we got into 1 large taxi and therefore the money came out quite inexpensively.
In principle, despite the existing disadvantages of the hotel, it justifies its 2 stars (excluding cockroaches) and I would recommend staying there.

But in the end we were very disappointed. In the middle of the rest, I wanted to put on my silver pendant, but I couldn't find it. I looked in all the bags... it's nowhere. But, nevertheless, I had doubts... and, suddenly, it's my fault and I don't remember where I put it or maybe lost it. Did not contact the administrator. And when we began to collect bags and prepare for eviction, it turned out that my friend, who also lived in room 512, lost a gold chain with a pendant, a gold ring and 100 dollars. Then it was already clear that this was not a coincidence. We turned to the administration... it's useless, they didn't return anything, they just repeated a hundred times "We have such a policy that we don't steal" =)))) As if in some hotel they could say otherwise. And they also repeated. . . take a closer look. But, we really double-checked everything several times. Moved beds, raised rugs, etc. After all, a friend really had a shock, they robbed a large amount. Our fault is that we discovered the loss late and could not say on what day exactly it happened, to whom specifically to make claims ((
