Il giusto per due persone per 4g!
Pros:

Posizione comoda… a circa 20 min a piedi dalla piazza Jamaa el fna… quindi mi é piaciuto non fossimo nel pieno del casino… puoi richiedere asciugamani etc in piú senza problemi

Cons:

C’é scritto che la camera viene pulita ogni giorno ma non é cosí.. pecca un po’ di pulizia ma vabbe…

Pros:

The hostess was very nice and helpful and even checked if anything was needed in terms of room service and comfort.
She was very hospitalable and offered me a better room change for an affordable extra pay when I expressed my complaint.

Cons:

The prices are a bit higher compared to the location (a need to walk a few miles before reaching the jamaa lafna market center) where the prices there are almost the same for a single bedroom.

Nice place good value of money
Pros:

Nice location even if its a 20 mins walk from the Jemaa el-Fnaa, but its quiet and since it is close to a main road, it is easy to access. The room is satisfactory, there is air conditioning, and the bed is comfortable.

Cons:

I would not recommend the breakfast. For the same amount of money, you can have a much more substantial meal in the bazaar.

You can book excursions and activities through the riad, but even in that case I would recommend Booking.com because it offers a wider selection.

What I found bothersome was that the cleaning lady who lives/worked in the riad, and who does not speak English, would ask for a “gift” (tip) after breakfast or whenever an activity was booked. This can become quite uncomfortable on a daily basis. For this reason, I only used the accommodation’s services on the first day; afterwards I arranged my own breakfasts and activities.
