I had an enjoyable stay at Riad El Farah Kasbah. The location was peaceful yet close to the vibrant main square, which was really convenient. While the breakfast was simple and could have had more variety, I appreciated the delicious Moroccan coffee. Overall, it was a lovely experience, though the room was basic and could use some updates.
