Al Diar Mina Hotel

Supposedly a 1* Hotel, but I never figured out what makes the rating of the place so low. Generally it is on a level that I would call 3* on the base of average European ratings. It's a bit worn, that's the worst that can be said about the place. It makes the impression that it was built in the 90ies and reasonably maintained ever since, but never thoroughly overdone. As a very nice gesture I got a suite, that made my stay truly very good value, but even with a standard room I would have been happy. There are some night clubs on the lower floors (actually a whole array of them) but not the slightest sound reached my floor. All in all it was a very positive experience.

Breakfast with limited choice but acceptable

This is a little hotel compared to those nearby and it is keeping up with them and better than its one star! The staff were accommodating and hospitable, the rooms were spacious and comfortable and the breakfast was excellent. The location is near the regular bus service to the attractions and airport and there are restaurants all around with local cuisine.

It was awesome and the property is well-maintained. You don't need to worry about anything, everything is ready for you. The location is pretty close to everything you need. You can comfortably use the local public buses around the city with a prepaid week card. Also, the bus stop to/from the airport is very close within a walking distance. I like the bed, the mattress is of great quality. The internet quality was pretty awesome.

I was upgraded at check-in to a suit that was spacious, and clean. The location is prime and accessible. There are parking spaces next to the hotel, but usually are not empty. A spacious car park nearby is available (6 minutes walk).
