Mi experiencia en este Riad no ha sido la mejor la verdad y por eso quería contar varias cosas. Nosotros reservamos 4 noches, y no se lo recomiendo a nadie que venga a Marrakech. La llegada al riad empezaba a torcerse cuando nos dan una habitación en la que no se podía estar, hacía un calor que parecía que se estaba calentando algo dentro, parecía que se buscaba que se pusiese el aire acondicionado, a lo que quería llegar. El aire acondicionado se supone que estaba dentro de los servicios del riad, o eso es lo que habíamos visto al reservar el hotel yo y mi padre, porque sí, no iba sólo , iba acompañado con una persona mayor y que no estaba para dormir en esas condiciones y no podía pasar noches así. Cuando fuimos a preguntar por el aire acondicionado nos dicen que hay que pagar 6€ la noche, cosa que nos hace ponernos más enfadados de lo que estabamos porque no nos aparecía en ninguna parte de los servicios en la reserva. Siendo nosotros también marroquíes tratamos de llegar a algún acuerdo porque parecía que todo iba a mal. A pesar de todo decidimos elegir el aire acondicionado y pasar esa noche por lo menos en esas condiciones pero ahí viene la gota que colmó el vaso, el aire acondicionado parecía que no tenía gas, no tiraba casi nada de aire y casi no dormimos esa noche. Con esto quiero llegar a que cualquiera que ve el precio del riad se decide por él , pero lo que no se espera es que luego te vas a gastar más dinero del que te esperas.
