broken safe missing lock
The rooftop terrace provided city views. I mean, if you're into that kind of thing.
My room did have some issues. The safe decided to take a vacation and refuse working and I found the bathroom door lacked the simple luxury of a lock. TV only connected to YouTube. Imagine that.

Enchanting Escape in the Medina

cute staff central location
I found the staff cute and helpful. Breakfast on the terrace was a good experience. I especially enjoyed the central location near the souks. It made exploring so easy. It really allowed me to experience the local culture!
The weak WiFi signal was a slight inconvenience. It was difficult to connect at times. This made planning my day a little challenging. I wished I could reliably plan my day.

The riad featured multiple terraces perfect for relaxation after a day exploring. The central courtyard offered shaded seating and provided a tranquil space. A small plunge pool gave a welcome cool-down in the heat.

good location tasty breakfast helpful staff dingy room exposed wires dirty bathroom
The hotel has a really good location. It is close to the souks and other attractions. I like the tasty breakfast they have and many options are available. Staffs are very helpful, and they are very lovely too.
The room I had was dark. It was a dingy room without any window. The bathroom looked dirty and moldy. There were electrical wires exposed right next to the basin.
