I absolutely loved my stay at this riad! The rooms were beautifully decorated and super comfortable, always spotless after our day trips out, and the breakfast was great. The service was top-notch, with friendly and very helpful staff, especially Mohamad, who made sure we were happy throughout our stay. The location was perfect, nestled in a quiet laneway but close to the bustling streets of the old city. The dining experience was really delicious, especially the pancakes, although a bit limited in options. Overall, a fantastic experience with incredible value for money.
