5/5
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel! The rooms were spotless, and the hospitality was top-notch. I highly recommend it to anyone, especially families. Our party of 5 felt right at home.

Photos are deceiving. Quite rundown and dirty. Shower didn't work and lighting was very dim. We ate breakfast the first day and decided the following days to eat somewhere else. Staff very friendly and did their best to accommodate. Rooms are very dark. We almost considered changing our riad, but we had paid for our stay in advance. I would not recommend staying here and would not stay here again.
