Reviews

Alison 10/10

Our hosts were charming and couldn’t have been more helpful.

Pros: A beautiful haven tucked away from the bustle of the medina. But also easy to access. The decoration was beautiful - typical Moroccan whilst also some artistic touches. Our hosts could not have been more helpful; meeting the airport transfer; arranging a hammam on site for us; providing gluten free breakfast options. All in all wonderful.

Cons: Nothing to dislike about the property.

Gorgeous Riad in the heart of the Medina

Pros: Wow, what a beautiful building! Stunning riad in the heart of the Medina, beautifully decorated in traditional style. Our room was big, huge bed was super comfy ( firm mattress), super clean, cleaned every day by the wonderful Fatima. Joaquin the owner was lovely with lots of tips , and the wonderful Hamid, who served us mint tea and a great breakfast each day. He also came to meet us from the nearest drop off point when our taxi brought us from the airport, and very kindly showed us the way to another pickup point when we were going on a very early morning trip which was amazing, as we got lost almost every time we left the riad!!! Fatima also took us to our taxi when we left, such lovely people, so helpful, despite the language barrier - Fatima only spoke Arabic, and I (tried!) to speak French with Hamid, but we managed ok! Beautiful roof terrace too, where we could chill after checking out before our flight home, which was great .

Cons: The only thing I didn’t love was the lack of door on the shower, I found it tricky to shower properly due to the angle of the shower head, which soaked the floor unless I held it. Also, bring shampoo as only soap was provided. No locks on the door, which was fine for us, as only the staff and a couple of other guests there, but just to be aware. And as others have said, definitely book a taxi through the riad from the airport, we definitely wouldn’t have found it without Hamid coming to meet us- it’s right in the middle of a total maze of alleys in the souks, and we only really started to not get lost on our last day!!

An exquisitely furnished and located, friendly Riad, with delicious breakfasts.

Pros: What a gem of a Riad! Fabulous location in the Medina, easily navigated (we were greeted at the airport by a taxi, and I think this was key to finding our place!) Exquisitely decorated and furnished, super comfortable, friendly staff, delicious breakfasts included in our stay’s price. Highly recommended. We couldn’t fault it. We’d return in a heartbeat.

Gorgeous Riad in a great location!

Pros: We loved our stay at this gorgeous Riad!! The hotel staff was lovely (although we struggled with our broken French and the majority of staff didn't speak English). The breakfast was wonderful, the whole place beautiful and clean and the location great to explore the Medina.

Cons: The bed was a bit small for two adults (who are not partners) and the toilet was tiny!

Excellent would definitely recommend & hope to revisit

Pros: Staff organised airport transfers & met & escorted us to the Riad, which was excellent as we would probably not have found it on our own . The Riad , staff & breakfast were fabulous. Very well located.

I don’t think I’ll ever stay anywhere more stunning!

Pros: Absolutely STUNNING Riad - the interiors are so beautiful, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and we spent hours on the rooftop terrace enjoying the views and pool. Had the best coffee I have ever tasted in the free breakfast - I don’t know what their secret was but I will never forget it 😩 rest of the breakfast slapped as well. Cannot recommend this place enough (:

Cons: The only thing to note is that the location is a little hard to find - it’s worth paying someone to help you or ask for chaffeaur service rather than wander the souk aimlessly!!
