The location is central. It is easy to find. the staff were very attentive. Ayoub. he was always happy to chat. the building has beautiful carvings. Mosaics capture the charm of the riad.
the staff listened to my needs carefully and provided ongoing assistance, which i found acceptable.
I found discrepancies in billing. Prices for laundry did not align with initial quotes, and i had to pay extra. even accounting for exchange rates, the final amount felt off.

The room i had was not ideal. it felt quite small and dark. also, the air conditioning unit was very loud. It was difficult to sleep well with that noise. the breakfast provided was very simple, just bread, butter, and yogurt.

honestly, the laundry prices felt a bit off. i got charged extra, and the final bill seemed a little shady. even accounting for exchange rates, something felt amiss. i didn't dig too deep, but it left me with a slight feeling of being overcharged, which wasn't great.

This riad is fine, located right in the medina! the staff were cute and helpful, always ready to assist. our room was super clean and beautifully decorated. the rooftop terrace was a highlight. Breakfasts and dinners there were special!!!
the only minor thing was that i could sometimes hear noises from the inner courtyard, but it didn't bother me too much.
