Worth weighing

- Limited breakfast hours or variety — Breakfast is a highlight, but options are traditional and may not cater to all dietary preferences.
- Street noise possible — The riad is in a busy local area, so some rooms may pick up street sounds despite the quiet interior.
- No on-site parking — Parking is available nearby but is public, not private, so spaces may be limited or at a distance.
