Guest reviews
Good
Liked: Friendly staff great breakfast good location
Disliked: Not much information on arrival.Awful place to find especially in the dark pitch black alleys felt very insecure.No facilities at the Riad water food etc considering you have to go out to get anything in the dark no street lights be prepared and buy something before. Roof terrace looked nice but once up there very dirty furniture stacked up everywhere. Dirty mats on bedroom floor.curtains in Riad haven't been washed for years it seemed they were not prepared for visitors
Unfortunatlely, we would not recommend this riad
Liked: The location was pretty good and the staff were excellent.
Disliked: We felt that the price for this facility was too high as it was more like a hostal than a riad. We had to keep the bathroom doors closed all the time as there was a bad smell. When the shower was used, the room flooded. The windows did not close properly. The bed was quite small and the room was dark. Looking back at previous reviews of this facility, the bathroom odors and poorly maintained windows have been an ongoing issue for a long time now. However, the staff of three ladies were excellent, despite the other issues.
Liked: The lobby was nice, we have nice time there.
Disliked: The common shower is so small, dirty, no toilet paper, no curtain in the shower. The hotel room was humid, unpleasent and cold. No aeration, sticky air. Breakfast portion was not enough
Its ok to stay for 1 night but not more than that
Liked: The decoration in the riad was beautiful.
Disliked: The riad had a damp weird smell and the bed was very uncomfortable. There are no windows to get fresh air and I didn’t like that fact that we had to give our breakfast order the night before and if we don’t give our order or change our mind it is no longer available in the morning. It’s a cafe yet no coffee and tea available. There was also a 11 pm curfew before the doors are closed or we have to let the lady know ahead of time if we will be back late so she can give us the key but we don’t know how our day will go if we will be back in time or not so that felt stressful. The corners of the room had a lot of dust and wall paint chipping on the ground. It seemed the room hasn’t been vacuumed or cleaned properly. I wont be staying or recommending this riad for anyone i know.
Recommend
Liked: Great place to stay, nice room, nice bed and good breakfast. Very close to center.
Disliked: Uncomfortable toilet.
Loved and embraced all the positives and negatives!
Liked: The riad is very very local to all the amenities and sight seeing locations! The main reception area was beautiful. A time piece. Mosaics from walls to floors. The riad was generally very quiet (maybe due to it not being tourist season) didn't have any soft background music. But I enjoyed the peace. The breakfast was nice. I got to choose from a selection from a set menu. Was a lovely breakfast as was the lady making it. Location seems like back streets, dark and eerie but in actual fact the people are so helpful even when getting lost, they redirect you and it's much much safer than it appears. I soaked in the traditional beauty of the narrow streets and busy lifestyle.
Disliked: Although I embraced the authentic vibes of a riad, the room was very very dusty including the floors. The only available option for my booking was the 4 person double bunk bed room. The lighting was poor and as I have read on a previous post and can verify, the charging plug near the lower bunk was broken from the socket so I just charged my phone on an alternative socket above. I cannot say this is the case for all rooms as the room next door was quite well kept and pretty with much brighter lighting. I guess it was just the luck of the draw. The doors continuously creaked, so sneaking in or out in the middle of the night to cross the main reception to get to the toilet would make for a noisy trip. Nothing a little bit of WD40 or some oil cannot fix but I embraced it as authentic and didn't let it bother me so much. The walls are thin so everything can be heard at all times, but again I embraced the older Riad vibes and I generally don't get bothered by noise so much. The shower wasn't in best condition but I actually liked the rustic entrance to it with small wooden doors and latches and having to bend down to get in, giving older Morocco vibes and living spaces. I embrace my experiences good or bad and don't ever give reviews to put people off visiting a place. Every place has positives and negatives. It's a matter of how you embrace it and whether that's your thing or not.
