Really good Riad Experience

warm service rooftop terrace secure location
The staff provided warm service. The rooftop terrace provided a tranquil space, where I enjoyed breakfast daily. The riad's location, near the Royal Palace, felt very secure. I indulged in a massage at the hammam.
The air conditioning unit in the room made a slight noise. Though it did not affect my sleep.
