Riad Slitine fell well below our expectations, especially for cleanliness, service & general upkeep.
The towels were stained, the supposedly white bathrobes were greyish & marked, & the bedcover had visible black dirt marks. There were cobwebs in most corners, which gave the impression that thorough cleaning was simply not a priority. Towels were also surprisingly scarce, with just 1 towel/guest expected to serve for the body, hands & face.
The communal areas were equally disappointing. Peeling paint & a generally tired, worn appearance gave the property a shabby, neglected feel rather than the charm one would expect from a traditional riad.
Breakfast service was another frustration. On all but 1 morning, we had to wait approximately 30 minutes just to be served breakfast. This was particularly inconvenient when we had plans for the day & wanted to make an early start.
Perhaps the most unpleasant aspect, however, was the approach to the property. To reach the riad, guests have to walk through a tunnel strewn with rubbish, followed by narrow alleyways also littered with waste. It was an extremely unwelcoming experience, particularly when returning in the evening.
