a little disappointing.

roof terracelong taxi waiting timeunsafe walking
the staff was polite, and the breakfasts on the roof terrace were acceptable.
The room was smaller than i expected, and the location wasn't ideal. It took a long time to get a taxi, and walking at night felt unsafe.

Hospitality at Its Finest!

preserved decorpatient staffendless supportcalm area
This riad have well-preserved decor and architecture. It seemed like experiencing a lifestyle unchanged. The staff are endlessly patient and helpful. They are always offering refreshments and support.
The outside environment of the riad felt a little surprising when first arrive. It becomes anecdotal because the area is calm and secure.
