the riad features decorated doors and nice plants. souf and abdul were very friendly and accommodating. abdul ensured my wife had chicken and fish each evening. souf and abdul were helpful throughout our stay and really stood out.
the water pressure was not strong enough to properly rinse out shampoo. the temperature randomly changed from freezing cold to scalding hot. breakfast was slow and minimal.
