Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Facilities score lower than other categories — While the property earns high marks for rooms and service, the facilities category rates 7.0, suggesting some on-site amenities may feel modest.
- No pets allowed — The riad does not permit pets, so travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only available between 15:00 and 22:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals unless arranged in advance.
- No on-site parking mentioned — The property does not list parking, so guests arriving by car may need to find public parking in the area.
