a nice experience

convenient location friendly staff accurate photos
i found the location quite convenient. it was just a short walk to saadian tombs, about 5 minutes to bahia palace, and roughly 12 minutes to jemaa el-fnaa market square (very practical for sightseeing). the staff was very friendly and helpful (i especially appreciated the concierge). the photos i saw before arriving accurately represented the riad, including the seating arrangements.

Charming Getaway

Mohamed contacted me before my stay, it. Monem greeted me with mint tea and homemade biscuits upon arrival, a lovely touch. The team provided a map and helpful suggestions for local excursions. The breakfast included fresh fruit, pastries, and orange juice. It was indeed a treat.
The call to prayer from the nearby mosque was loud at 6am, slightly disruptive.
