Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No on-site parking — The riad does not list parking, and the narrow streets of the medina make driving and parking challenging.
  • Limited atmosphere compared to larger cities — One guest noted the riad lacks the bustling energy of Marrakech, which may appeal to some but not those seeking a lively scene.
  • No pets allowed — The property has a strict no-pets policy.
  • Check-in window ends at 23:30 — Check-in is available from 13:00 to 23:30, so late arrivals may need to plan accordingly.
