Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Price vs. value — One guest felt the hotel was overpriced even after receiving a room upgrade, suggesting the pricing may not always match perceived value.
- Breakfast variability — While many praise the rooftop breakfast, some guests found it 'okay' or 'simple but good,' indicating inconsistency in the spread.
- No on-site parking — No parking information is provided, and the riad is in a central location, which may mean limited or paid parking nearby.
