Feels Like Home at Diaspora Village Hotel

I had a wonderful stay at Diaspora Village Hotel it truly feels like home! The rooms are clean, well-arranged, and equipped with essentials like towels, shampoo, shower gel, tea, Nescafé, and a kettle. If you need extra sachets, the staff will kindly direct you to a self-service area, which adds to the cozy, home-like experience.

The small terrace outside the rooms is perfect for relaxing after exploring the nearby souks, beach, coffee shops, and restaurants all within walking distance. There are also several restaurants just under the hotel, on the ground floor, often lively with background music in the evening. There's even a nice open space where kids can safely roam around.
