Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Riad Hissan stands out for its spacious and clean rooms, some even functioning as two rooms, offering comfortable beds for a restful stay. Its central location within the Medina makes it convenient for accessing nearby shopping areas. Many guests particularly enjoy the delicious and generous breakfast served on the amazing roof terrace, although a few have mentioned occasional delays with entry due to the locked front door. The rooftop also offers special views in the morning and evening.

minor issues during stay

bathroom odorslow drain

the room had a noticeable odor from the bathroom pipes this was unpleasant. the drain system was slow in both the shower and the sink. i found this quite inconvenient. furthermore the lack of readily available keys to the main door required dependence on the reception staff. sometimes no one was available i waited an unreasonable amount of time to re-enter the building.

The rugs seemed untouched by a vacuum cleaner in ages. That was a bit grim. the air conditioning barely functioned and it didn't do much to alleviate the heat. also, the shower drain was slow, causing a mini-flood after each shower. the staff acted like i was imagining things when i mentioned the ac and drain issues, which i found annoying.

I found the staff very helpful. The location is great and allows easy access to various points of interest (it is very central).

The ac unit in the room was quite noisy. This made it a little difficult to sleep well at night.
