excellent experience

clean roommassage sessionsprofessional teamluggage storage
the room was clean with all needed facilities (i found everything useful). the architecture, rooftop, and pool look beautiful. they offered massage sessions. the team was professional, friendly, and provided great assistance. they allowed us to leave our luggage for an extra night.
rooms have no real windows facing the corridor, which might be a problem for some. also, sound insulation is almost non-existent, so you might hear footsteps or other noises.
Facilities
9/10
The riad features a nice pool, even if it is not very large. It is sufficient for a pleasant dip in the water. massage service is available too.
Dining
8/10
breakfast is varied enough to suit different tastes, even if not really good. it provides a perfect start to the day before exploring the city (and its hidden gems). it is a good value for the price.
