Property was nice but not overwhelming. austere would be the way to describe the decor. The rooms were a good size and service was good. But overall, there was nothing memorable about this Riad. Also, as is true for most riads in the Medina, one would have to be picked at the nearest car access and be transported by luggage service to the Riad itself. We are used to this, but Dar Bensouda was quite much farther than what would be typical. Good place, but given stiff competition of riads in Marrakech (so many great options at this price level), will likely not come back…
