  Good value

  Liked: Great location, lovely building and architecture, very friendly staff. Although there is some noise up to 11pm the area goes completely quiet from then on

  Disliked: The bathroom had mould. The mattress was very hard

  Lovely riad, clean with friendly and helpful staff. Central location

  Liked: Lovely building in a very central location. Very welcoming owner and staff and nice breakfast. The room was clean when we arrived and was cleaned every day. Staff on duty at the desk over night which was very helpful. Nice shower with lots of hot water.

  Disliked: There is a very noisy music venue next door. They stop playing music at 23.00hrs every night so it's no problem if you are going to be going to bed from 23.00hrs. The bathroom was up some steep, uneven mosaic steps - no problem if you are mobile and have good balance. Payment is in cash when you leave - not a problem but it would be helpful to know in advance.

  Disliked: Noise from the night club, all the room stinks from the toilet. I've requested a breakfast for 8am. It was accepted by the reception, and when we came down the next day I was literally called a liar...since they pretended that no one asked for it
