weak pressure old fixtures

The bathroom was really small. Honestly, it felt a bit cramped. the shower pressure was annoyingly weak. I barely got wet. the bathroom fixtures seemed old. I think they desperately need updating. it all felt a bit overpriced for what i got.

AN oasis of tranquility!

cozy beds quiet location kind staff

the beds were ABSOLUTELY fantastic. After seeing many riads with firm beds, this one had beds that felt so cozy. I slept amazingly well. The location is a quick five minute walk to Djemma-Fna, yet peaceful and quiet. The staff members were super kind and always ready to help. This is a peaceful, comfortable place.

the pool area was a LITTLE small.
