“The location places you steps from the square, and the vibrant colours of traditional design create an authentic feel; it's a charming, slightly rustic experience. I think the courtyard offers a tranquil respite, and the rooftop provides views, though some areas could use some love. I'd say this riad is a solid choice for anyone seeking a true taste of Marrakech.”
