good breakfast central location stiff bed poor soundproofing
the riad offer a good breakfast with fresh produce daily. jamila was a very good host and her colleague kept the hotel clean. the location is good. it is right in the heart of the medina.
i found the bed a little stiff for my liking. rooms on the ground floor are dark because the only windows overlook the small entrance area. it is impossible to keep them open while maintaining privacy. i think the soundproofing is quite poor.
