Lacks upkeep
There have been complaints from guests of Riad Awa about the upkeep of the hotel. In the garden, there have been cases where pots have been broken and not cleaned up, which takes away from the overall atmosphere. Others areas of the hotel could also use some upgrades, as they are starting to look old and tired.

Problems with Wi-Fi
A few guests have complained about the Wi-Fi at this hotel, as the signal is often weak and will drop without any notice. This made it difficult for many guests of the property to communicate with family back home, which was a major inconvenience.

No doors on bathrooms
Some guests did not enjoy the fact that the bathroom doesn't have a door. There is a door separating the toilet from the rest of the bathroom, but you won't have much privacy while showering.
