The staff ensured cleanliness was maintained daily, even replacing towels. breakfast was excellent. The kitchen staff prepared various dishes daily, preventing monotony. abdo and his team created a cute atmosphere. abdul and gris assisted with adapters, escorted me to taxis, and secured restaurant bookings.

I found the staff very attentive and helpful. They organized excursions. the breakfast offered a good variety of local pastries and fresh fruit. i booked a cooking class through the riad, with a scenic view of the atlas mountains. this cooking class was a nice experience.

The location was a bit hidden and required navigating small alleys. It was a bit dark at night.
