I had a wonderful 5-night stay at Riad Sofia. The location was perfect-right in the heart of the Medina and within a short walk to the main attractions, yet tucked away in a quiet area. The staff was super friendly and helpful, especially when it came to arranging airport transfers and local excursions. However, I did have a bit of trouble with noise at night from other guests, which made it tough to sleep sometimes.
