I found such tranquility in the riad's architecture. It transported me. the staff greeted me with warm smiles. i loved starting my mornings with their amazing breakfast and discovered good surprises each morning. the rooftop terrace offered a view where i savored the magical sunsets.

Decent Location, but Some Issues

loud music breakfast variety
The noise was a real problem. A nearby nightclub played VERY loud music late into the night, disrupting sleep. The breakfast also disappointed me. It lacked variety compared to the first day. The orange juice and eggs were missing.
