“What stands out is the attentive staff, ready to assist with everything from printing boarding passes to arranging transport. The courtyard and pool offer a tranquil escape from the Medina's bustle, while still keeping you close to the souks. In my opinion, the homemade breakfasts and rooftop terrace definitely enhance the overall experience.”
