Wonderful Stay with Really good Service

kind staff lovely food

The staff was super kind. The food was lovely. Portions were abundant. Soaps and bathroom products were artisanal and local. The riad was cool inside even though it was hot outside. Beautiful plants and decorations filled the space.

The bed linen seemed like poor quality.

The riad is just a short walk from the main square. It is convenient for catching taxis. The location is quiet despite being near a busy shopping street.
