The staff really make this place special beyond all other places I have stayed. They are good at what they do, but they are also really friendly, attentive in an open and honest way… the smiles are real and they always go that extra mile to make you feel at home. The riad itself is lovely and of an excellent standard - strong hot showers, spotlessly clean rooms, really comfy beds, and a great breakfast. It has also managed to retain the historical beauty of a traditional riad, while also retaining a sense of family. Someone has put a lot of thought into this business.
It is in the Kasbar area of the old town, so it is close to so many wonderful places to see, and some really good street food close by.
I had planned on returning to the city next year and trying another riad, but now the Riad Almisk is the only place I will stay in future when I visit the city. I don’t care what fancy things the best hotels have, as they cannot beat what the Riad Almisk has, which is soul.
