Riad Almazhar
Very quiet despite location. Staff was really great. Lovely breakfast. Room could use lamps as it was quite dim once windows were closed. Bathroom smelled a little musty, but no visible mold or damage so I was not concerned.

Riad El Maâti
It was lovely hidden place in medina. Loved modern Riad style interior and courtyard. Staff were very nice. The water pressure for bath was low ? and very slow to fill the hot tub… The breakfast was really nice.

Riad Amaris
Short walk from drop off point. Close to the shops in the Medina. Good breakfast including eggs. Had a good meal at La Dhow. Got ripped off by the boat man going to Sale.
