I had a mixed experience at Riad Carllian. While the architecture is charming and the staff was attentive, I faced some serious security concerns that marred my stay. The location, although central, felt overwhelming at times, especially walking back after dark. Overall, I enjoyed the atmosphere, but the issues I encountered affected my overall enjoyment.

Facilities could definitely use an upgrade. The claimed pool is more of a decorative feature than a place to swim, and the common areas felt a bit uninviting without personal touches like flowers.
