What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Prime location near the beach and Medina — Moulay Hassan Square is about a 10-minute walk, and most guests highlight the ease of reaching the port, markets, and shopping streets.

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Shared bathrooms in some rooms — A few reviews mention that certain rooms come with a shared bathroom, which may not suit all travellers.
- Limited parking options — While public parking is available nearby, it is not private to the riad, so spaces may be limited or require a short walk.
- Potential noise from central location — Being close to main attractions and streets could bring some street noise, though reviews do not consistently complain about this.
