Guest reviews
Fabulous
Lovely traditional Riad with easy access in Medina. Very good breakfast on roof terrace with views
Liked: Lovely traditional Riad with easy access in Medina. Very good breakfast on roof terrace with rooftop views. Room was very spacious and staff were extremely helpful. Would definitely recommend
Disliked: Nil
Liked: Great location. Quiet street close but easy to access the main streets.
Highly recommended
Liked: Clean. Cozy. Good atmosphere.
Disliked: n/a
Liked: The suite was really good and spacious. The bathroom had the best shower we had in our 2 weeks in Marocco. The breakfast was also really good. The location is perfect.
Disliked: The view from the window was on a desolated building. Not the fault of the riad though.
A lovely property in a good location with excellent staff, other than the night porter
Liked: The property is in a good location with clean, comfortable rooms and nice attention to detail. The breakfast was good, served on a nice terrace. Clements was very helpful and accommodating and the housekeepers and cooks were lovely.
Disliked: At night, the night porter smoked indoors which rose through the riad and made our rooms smell. He coughed loudly, spoke on his phone on speaker at loud volume and let his phone ring early in the morning many times so it was very difficult to sleep.
Liked: the rooftop is amazing and the view during the breakfast is something people will remember from the trip
Disliked: the facility clearly states it has a parking included, but it has NO PARKING. and there is even no way to reach the place by the car so technically neither this nor any other close riad has an ability to have a parking. the staff was very impolite when asked about parking, very unprofessional
