“The color palette of this medina-nestled riad strikes a particularly refreshing note, and the central kitchen space looks well-maintained. Though situated within the medina, quiet nights are a real advantage, with the Supratour bus station just a short walk away. For those prioritizing both location and tranquility, this could be a fitting choice.”
