6/10 Godt

Nice location but the standard doesn't match price
Riad Kalaa 2 is located in the middle of the medina and has a couple of lovely rooftop terraces that overlook the medina. However, if you're looking for comfort, this might not be the ideal place: First of all, due to the construction of the old buildings in the medina, the rooms do not have windows that open onto the street but instead to the inside court of the riad. As pretty and atmospheric this may be, it doesn't allow much light into the rooms, making it uncomfortable to stay in you room during the day. Even with the windows and door open (and thus with no privacy, as it opens up to the common areas), the room is still very dark. Secondly, the drainage/plumbing in the bathroom didn't work properly and I stood with water around my ancles after only a couple of minutes in the shower. Thirdly, the room smelled very musty as if the moist from the bath couldn't get out of the room. Lastly, the breakfast was not very interesting nor very abundant. In total, it seems to me that the management care more about fancy lighting in the ceiling (you can choose from a variety of colours), decorations and the like rather than on getting the basics up to a decent standard, such as the drainage, room ventilation, a nice breakfast, etc. I wouldn't want to stay in this riad again, I would much prefer the Art Riad in the same chain (and located within a stone's throw from this one (see my recommendation elsewhere).
