"This is a gorgeous riad. The ground floor rooms are beautiful as well as the inner garden. The rooms and common spaces are very clean. The rooftop is very pretty.
The breakfast is Ok, including fruits, bread and pancakes.
There was a problem with the piping when I was there and I had to insist quite a bit to get a new room because I was offered to stay in the room while using a common bathroom in the hallway, which was suboptimal for many reasons. Having to insist was disappointing. I was eventually given a new room."
"Our room was perpetually damp. The sheets and the pillow were always damp. The AC seemed to not work or help with the problem (although we didn’t ask about fixing it bc it took a while to realize the problem). The fan in the bathroom didn’t help much either. The room was only turned over once on our last day. Towels were worn out and yellow. The owner was kind of awkward and made some weird comments. The man at reception all the time was very nice and accommodating. The terrace also had no lounge chairs or shade, simply just a couple chairs and tables. Only saving grace is the breakfast which was great (apart from a stray hair found in the food on day 1). The courtyard was very beautiful and the location is very central but quiet."
"We only stayed one night at Hotel Sahrai, but overall we enjoyed the modern design and spacious feel of the hotel. The room had a very stylish and contemporary atmosphere, and we appreciated the thoughtful welcome gifts as well.
The pasta we ordered for lunch was delicious, although the waiting time was a bit long, so we would recommend sharing if someone is in a hurry. We also ordered a Caprese dish, but what arrived seemed more like bruschetta with melted cheese and mushrooms rather than a traditional Caprese. We believe it may have simply been a miscommunication, so we politely accepted and enjoyed the dish without any issue.
The room and bathroom design, especially the glass elements, felt modern, fun, and a bit sexy. However, there were unfortunately significant clogging issues with both the wash basin and bathtub. In addition, the toilet had a noticeable sewage smell during our stay.
We also felt the grayish carpet in the room may need replacing, as it did not appear very clean and had a strong musty smell each time we returned to the room from outside.
That said, the room itself was spacious, comfortable, and beautifully designed. With some improvements to the bathroom maintenance and carpeting, the experience could become much more enjoyable."
