Inaccurate rating and description of property. The room and fittings tired and more befitting for backpackers on a hippie trail. Basic amenities missing, no power sockets or heating during this cold May.

Le Riad est magnifique, le personnel est agréable, le petit déjeuner est très correcte. 8/10 simplement parce que l’entretien global est insuffisant. C’est très dommage, parce qu’un petit effort pourrait rendre cet hôtel remarquable.

Hôtel super, environnement bruyant

Nous sommes accueillis par un thé a l'arrivée. Il n'y a pas de parking à proximité, il faut en payer un et trouver l'hôtel dans la médina. Le lieu est magnifique, le personnel accueillant. Mais c'est un lieu extrêmement bruyant, même a l'intérieur, même la nuit : tout le temps.

El alojamiento bonito, tiene un restaurante donde se come muy bien y a buen precio, y dispone de habitaciones sencillas pero prácticas. Pero la limpieza de la habitación daba que desear. Las sabanas y toallas no se pasaban por lejía, estaban manchadas. No se barría o fregaba bajo la cama y la cantidad de polvo y pelusas que tenia el cabezal de la cama era de no haberlo limpiado en años. Si se centraran en la limpieza de las habitaciones el alojamiento mejoraría mucho.
