oasis of calm
cute staff rooftop breakfast serene courtyard
I found the staff cute. They remembered my name each day. the breakfast on the rooftop each morning was a treat, and i appreciated the prompt service. the inner courtyard offered a serene escape.
The pool, though visually appealing, was too cold for a comfortable swim. That's my only complaint.

reasonable stay
convenient location swimming pool missing window poor soundproofing
the location was convenient. restaurants and shops were nearby (just around the corner, really). the swimming pool was nice to have. it provided a refreshing escape from the heat.
the room i had lacked windows. it faced the corridor (a bit odd). sound insulation was poor. i could hear noise from other rooms and the hallway.

excellent experience
clean room massage sessions professional team luggage 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

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.
