Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The riad lacked warmth in every sense. Service was intermittent. Room was pleasant but bathroom was below par. Not a single hook to hang damp towels. Breakfast was only served on an upstairs outdoor terrace which was cold in January.. This riad could be fine and has potentially a lot of character, but it felt run down. What a pity!
