Our experience in this riad was unfortunately quite mixed. We had read in several reviews that there could be a musty smell, and this was indeed confirmed during our stay. The smell was quite noticeable and made the stay less enjoyable. We also found that the cleanliness was not up to the standard we expected, especially compared to other riads where we stayed during our trip to Morocco. The property certainly has potential, but special attention to humidity and cleanliness would really enhance the experience.
