I was quite annoyed by the lack of hot water one morning. the room's outdated furniture showed noticeable wear, and it was really a letdown. I feel updates are necessary.

Really good Stay
perfect location helpful staff
I appreciated the perfect location. I walked everywhere I wanted. The staff were very helpful, ALWAYS providing quick assistance when needed. The breakfast included tasty items each morning. The entire riad is beautifully decorated. It offers a VERY authentic atmosphere.
The driver had an unpleasant attitude. He did not offer to help with our luggage. We even asked him to bring the car closer. THE room looked nothing like the pictures. Our room was dusty, and the towels were old, with low amenities in the shower.

The location was convenient. I reached many attractions easily. the riad was quiet, and the rooftop offered a relaxing space.
The room i stayed in felt quite worn. the bathroom had mold on the wall, paint peeled. the furniture looked aged. The bed, though comfortable, was too large for the room, limiting access on one side.
