mixed feelings about THE stay

limescale on tap empty dishes
The location was good enough I guess.
The room was not very clean, I noticed limescale on the tap. The breakfast was a joke. Many dishes were empty and not refilled, the juice was almost GONE.

A Good Stay Amidst Authentic Charm

prime location warm staff multiple terraces quiet design
The location provided easy access to the main square, a notable advantage. The staff displayed genuine warmth, always available to provide assistance. I especially enjoyed the multiple roof terraces. They offered great city views. The traditional building design kept the interior kinda cool and quiet.
The WiFi signal was at times a bit weak throughout the building.

lovely riad experience

ample seating calm escape
the staff always seemed willing to help carry luggage. the rooftop terrace features ample seating. the morning breakfast included fresh fruit, i loved that. i found the riad provided a calm escape from the city.
the pool although clean felt unheated . this limited its use in the cooler evening hours. perhaps temperature regulation is needed.

The location was AMAZING. It allowed very easy access to the souks. The rooftop space provided a nice area for relaxation. Breakfast was good. I also enjoyed the other food options available.
The signage was bad. I thought the room was dark. I did not like that the shower took a long time to get warm.

the location is convenient for exploring the souks it is also close to the main square. breakfast offered good options and staff were helpful. i appreciated the central position and attentive service. i found walking to local attractions easy from here.
my room was quite small it was difficult to store luggage comfortably. the shower pressure was low it made showering less enjoyable. i think the room size and water pressure could use improvement. i noticed that the lighting in the room was also dim.
