Riad Almazhar
Very quiet despite location. Staff was really great. Lovely breakfast. Room could use lamps as it was quite dim once windows were closed. Bathroom smelled a little musty, but no visible mold or damage so I was not concerned.

It was lovely hidden place in medina. Loved modern Riad style interior and courtyard. Staff were very nice. The water pressure for bath was low ? and very slow to fill the hot tub… The breakfast was really nice.
