Staff is their number 1 asset. Very accommodating and helpful with all your needs. I just wish they have a Whatsapp number where tourists can call or message them. Breakfast was okay. So many options to choose from.

1) Location is few metres away from the main road. It’s kinda scary at night to be honest. Beggars and kids are following you asking for something at night. In my entire stay, I’m usually home by 7 pm. I only went home late once, the walk to the Riad was scary. 2) Do not stay on the lower ground rooms. I stayed in Bab Er-raha. The noisy guests will wake you up cos the common area is just across the room. You’ll also heear shouting kids outside the Riad. 3) Mattress and Pillow are not comfortable. Beddings were itchy. 4) No blow dryer. 5) Doesn’t feel homey at all. 6) No light in the shower area. You have to request for a candle. Not safe for old people.

Beautiful interior and design. One of the most gorgeous places I’ve ever stayed. Lovely rooftop with tortoises on the roof. A very peaceful stay. Location was great to get to the old medina and felt very safe.

My only suggestions would be our room had no option to put the shower head on the wall so you either had to have a bath or hold the shower yourself. The option for an early breakfast may be useful. We had a few excursions and had to skip breakfast. They did offer us some coffee before hand though which was a great start to the trips.

The interior design of the Riad is eally well done. It Has all the charm of an old riad, but it has been refurbished with colonial and morocan style. The feeling is really nice and cosy and a good place to relax after a day in the medina. Breakfast were amazing! Personal in the reception is very nice and helpful. Reception 24 hs. The interior garden is lovely. The bedrooms are really nice decorated.

My only disappointment was that they didn't know we had a booking. This was solved quickly. But because of this, our bedroom wasn't preheated (we were there in December) or had a bottle of water.

Staff was excellent! All members of staff greeted us with warmth and took the extra step to provide help when needed. They were proactive in giving us suggestions with location, understanding costs, etc.

This was not a huge deal but we thought the rooms could use a bit of sound proofing as we felt the need to speak very softly at times. You could hear neighbors and they could hear us, which may be a privacy issue for some visitors.

Really enjoyed our stay at this Riad! Staff were really friendly and breakfast was nice. Courtyard and terrace were set up nicely, good area to relax if you wanted. Our room was cosy, we booked the one with window seating. Location was convenient, a 15/20 minute walk away from the main square. Perfect if you want to stay close to but not directly in the busy area.

Fantastic place to stay, would 100% recommend. So serene, everyone working there were so friendly, the breakfast everyday was delicious. We loved our room and the rooftop terrace is just want we needed after busy days exploring and we loved the tortoises. A few minutes walk from the start of the markets and restaurants so ideal location.

Everything was perfect.

The Riad is absolutely stunning, it’s effortlessly photogenic from basically every angle. The rooms were also really good size, very comfortable and clean (cleanest among all riads we’ve stayed in Morocco) and facilities like hot water and AC works well, and includes room cleaning service every day. Breakfast isn’t the most traditional Moroccan breakfast but it was very nice! Location wise it’s towards north part of the medina - it’s very easy to get into the medina (5 min walk) and really near a taxi station, it’s a 15min walk to the main square but there are lots of restaurants and shops to see away from the main square anyways so great location anyways!

Moroccan hospitality is truly the greatest thing we’ve experienced of the culture, which was something we didn’t find much of at this riad compared to all the other places we stayed at in Morocco. The staff was nice but there was much less interactions, and it just felt much less personable which made the riad lack a little bit of a soul. Other minor things were that the entrance signage isn’t very obvious so it can be hard to find down the alley and breakfast service tends to be quite slow. But if hospitality doesn’t matter as much to you or you’re mainly looking for somewhere pretty and comfortable to stay at then this is definitely a nice place to stay at

Overall I loved this place. It’s a beautiful Oasis of calm in the middle of the hustle and bustle. The staff were all really welcoming and friendly. I loved the decor and the communal spaces. The central court yard is magical. Also, as a late sleeper it was great to have breakfast up until 12. I would definitely come back here. By the end of the stay it really felt like home.

These are only small things in the overall scheme of things. Because it’s a riad it can get a bit noisy with people coming and going and noise from the kitchen and communal areas. I also, think they could do with new beds.

The location was perfect. Close to the souks and just around the corner of the nearest ATM. The staff was incredible nice and friendly. We liked the fact that the breakfast was different every day, with typical Moroccan food.

Very natural facility and very tranquille. Our hosts within the hotel were very helpful, really greatful for Abdeel and Moustafa they were always willing to help and made our stay really comfortable. Kudos to them.

The location was not accessible by car/transport as it was located within some alleys which at night time was daunting at times.
