Staying at the Riad was a mixed experience. The rooms were well-equipped with small fridges but had a terrible heating system. The service provided by the staff was exceptional with a genuine display of hospitality. The location, although in the center of the Medina, was hard to access from a taxi. The dining experience offered homemade pastries but had limited options.

My stay at the hotel was filled with ups and downs. The location was superb, nestled in a residential area of the Medina, making it convenient to explore all the major attractions. The service was exceptional, with staff members who truly embodied hospitality. However, the room had a few drawbacks like being on the ground level, a flimsy nightstand, and small fridges in the bedrooms. The dining experience, with delicious goat's cheese, was a highlight, but there were some misses. Overall, a mixed but memorable experience.
