My stay at Riad Zen House was a wonderful introduction to Marrakech, thanks to its attentive staff and cozy atmosphere. Upon arrival, I was greeted with fresh tea and a snack, which made me feel right at home. The location is a bit off the beaten path, making it quieter, but I didn't mind the 15-minute walk to the bustling Medina. However, the check-in process was cumbersome and could be improved.
