charming stay
generous breakfastattentive staffcash payment
breakfast was generous. we received a checklist with many options. we could choose as much as we wanted. the staff were helpful and attentive. we were offered traditional tea upon arrival.
the insistence on cash only is not pleasant. this detail should clearer. the place is more worn than the pictures suggest. i think this place is overpriced.

I found the shower setup inconvenient. The temperature fluctuated a lot. I also wished the riad offered more variety at breakfast. It was the same every day, so it became a bit monotonous.
