Negative Reviews
negative:
Compact rooms can be a tight squeeze.
While many guests enjoy the cosiness of their accommodations at Riad Al Jazira, a few guests have found rooms to be a little too compact. Those travellers that like to spread out may wish to keep this in mind.
negative:
Riad can be difficult to find.
Past guests explain that the riad can initially be difficult to find, with travellers required to pass along winding alleyways and narrow streets to find the property. Many recommend utilising the airport shuttle service, which is said to make it much easier to get to the riad.
negative:
Some find local neighbourhood a little daunting.
Although it's situated
within walking distance of the Jamaa el Fna plaza and many of Marrakech's other
tourist sites, the riad is reported by some to be a little too far from the
beaten path. Additionally, a number of guests are less than enamoured with the
local neighbourhood, describing it as daunting, particularly after dark.
