Wonderful Stay at a Beautiful Riad
indoor patiocalming spaceairport pickup
The staff helped with airport pickup and other needs. Breakfast was served in the indoor patio. It was a lovely, calming space. The area was quiet at night, and the location is near the city center. The staff was friendly and willing to help.
My room wasn't super luxurious. This was expected because of the price.
