helpful map clean room great location overpriced rooms unfair policy dim lighting
Soukaina greeted me with tea and a map detailing the medina's highlights. The room had a clean and cosy atmosphere I found appealing. The location proved perfect for exploring the area.
Two of the rooms I booked were overpriced compared to similar accommodations nearby. The hotel's currency exchange policy felt unfair since they rounded up the rate. The dim lighting made it hard to see sometimes.
