overall is ok. location is good, quiet but near the main street; nice breakfast; modern bathroom; just don't like the room at the ground floor, people can see inside when they get close

Riad Kalaa
Welcoming riad, located just inside the medina - a short walk from a car drop off point. The rooms are beautifully decorated and clean. We had a great traditional breakfast on-site.
