Melanie - United Kingdom 10
Riad papillon is seriously beautiful. Loved the decor and all the nice little design details. It's a great location in the medina. The app makes it easy to find. Happy with the staff as well. It's too bad we only had one night there. Would have loved to stay a few more but we got moved because of construction.
