Riad Chbanate

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful spot right in the boarder of the Medina. So about 5-15 min walk anywhere. Beds were super comfortable and rooms were spacious. Loved the robes and bathtub in my room. Only thing it doesn’t have is pool or gym :) but I wasn’t expecting that. Breakfast was yummy. Pastries. Eggs of choice. Yogurt. Fruit bowl etc."
