There are soooo many Riads.
Most are much of a muchness. Use Trivago or similar and filter down as you see fit.
I suppose there are a few that charge triple or more and cater for people who like to pay over the odds because they think it makes for a better experience or something.
For most normal people, part of the experience of a first time visit is to stay in a generic Riad (‘pokey’ as described by the OP a couple of years ago) in the heart of the medina and walk around.
Expect to get lost, expect to get scammed and expect to nearly get run over by idiots on scooters – many times.
Sounds crap, and sometimes even I get pissed off, but I do find myself returning now and again for some reason.
