My girlfriend and I stayed for 3 nights at Riad El Kennaria and we didn’t enjoy it. To start with a positive note, the staff is great, they are helpful and nice. The restaurant at the rooftop is also nice, a little more expensive than others in the area but it has a nice view and good food. We also booked the 3 day Desert excursion with them, and it was great. The breakfast is good, not the best, but quite good. They even give you a bag with a little breakfast and orange juice when you leave early and miss the breakfast times (for example when you go to the desert excursion or to the airport), which is very nice and thoughtful. The worst thing about this hotel i’d say its the shower. We stayed at one of the rooms in the ground floor with shared bathroom. The toilets are fine, but the shower is just awful. The door to the shower is situated on the ground floor, where there is always people hanging around and people outside the hotel can even get a line of view with the entrance to the shower, so forget about going in or out the shower just with a towel. You need to go fully clothed. The problem is that once you open the door you are directly inside the shower, you don’t have any room to change comfortably or place your clothes. There are only some hangers on the wall, but let me be clear, everything you bring with you will get wet as there isn’t a curtain to stop water from hitting your clothes. The floor gets all wet as well, so getting dressed before and after showering can be an uncomfortable mess, even a little dangerous because you need to dress while standing and as everything is wet is easy to slip. Also, there’s no place to hold the shower head, and the hot water doesn’t last too long so you better hurry. Its just an awful experience and it’s more than enough to avoid this hotel. For the price you are paying they could at least put a shower curtain, something to hold on to as you change and a bench to sit on as you get dressed. Making these little changes would improve the experience a lot!!! Another thing that we didn’t like is the fact that the restaurant is just too loud. I mean, its nice when you actually want to go for dinner there, as it has music until 11/12pm, but walls are thin, and the music is very loud. We could here everything from our room, not only the music, but the people talking as well. It’s very loud, and its not uncommon to have a very early excursion or trip the next day, so you’ll want to go to sleep early and it gets so annoying. The restaurant has another drawback, as your shared bathroom is in the middle of the hotel lobby, you can expect most of the people that go to the restaurant (its very popular) going to your bathroom as well. Making it not only dirtier (thankfully they clean it often, but at night when most people go to the restaurant, they don’t clean it), but also meaning that you may have to wait long lines to go to the toilet. As well as having a lot of people hanging out outside your room (ours wa
