amazing riad experience!

attentive team friendly staff central square

the team cared for me well. they booked restaurants and taxis, nothing was too much trouble. the staff seemed friendly and kind. the hotel is tucked away and a walk from the central square takes approximately 18 minutes. it feels like a home.

I noticed a slight odor from the tortoises. Their enclosure cleanliness could improve a bit.
