I had an enjoyable stay at Riad Assala, with a lovely breakfast and a beautiful room that was clean and comfortable. The location was absolutely perfect, allowing me to easily explore the souks and the vibrant square nearby. However, I did encounter a few issues, such as some noise at night and a lack of privacy in the bathroom area due to a simple curtain instead of a door.

The Riad's location is ideal, just a 5-minute walk from the souks and about 10 minutes to the Djema El Fna square. While the area is quite labyrinth-like, I found it easy enough to navigate and enjoyed being right in the middle of the action.

Breakfast was a good start to each day, featuring a mix of bread, pancakes, cakes, and fresh juices. I also enjoyed the delicious local delicacies offered. However, I would recommend considering dining options outside the Riad for a wider variety.
