I had a wonderful time at Riad Contessa. The location was perfect, just a short walk from Jamal El Fnaa square, and the atmosphere was lovely. My room was spacious and clean, but I did find the breakfast a bit limited in variety. Overall, a fantastic experience with capable staff who were always eager to help.

I had a lovely stay at Riad Contessa, enjoying the peace and tranquility it offered. The courtyard and room designs were stylish and atmospheric, but I did face some minor issues like the breakfast variety and the room's brightness at night. Overall, it was a pleasant experience that I would recommend, with a few caveats.

My stay at Riad Contessa was truly really good, from the stunning decor to the attentive staff. I felt completely cared for and safe in the heart of the Medina, just a stone's throw from the royal palace. The only downside was that I wish I could have stayed longer to enjoy more of the delicious Moroccan cuisine.
