I just went here for lunch with a friend of mine. They offer this fantastic lunch menu 3 course for 80 MAD which is dirt cheap and food was very yummy. I think the best part of this place is its traditional architecture and friendly staffs. They let me walk around the building while I was waiting for the food.... More

Having stayed in many Riads around Morocco - some reasonable and some excellent, this one was undoubtedly one of the best. It is utterly beautiful and very traditional in layout. Breakfast was buffet style and there was a plentiful supply of delicious food. Sitting and having breakfast in this beautiful setting was magical. Although the rooms are a little tired,... More

Unfortunately we only had one night at this very special venue. I could have stayed much longer The setting is really special and the feeling is space I found really calming and peaceful. Can really recommend a visit to this riad. Thank you for the staff for making us feel special and welcome! Ninon More

I've been here during windsurf holidays with the group, so we had only one dinner in the hotel, but it's very to have a drink after dinner in the hotel - it's very calm and cosy. Room are clean, some has not so many windows so it's quite dark inside (Jimmy Henrix room is one of this). Internet connection is... More

A large Riad, more like a hotel, with great staff and a nice courtyard. Kind of a busy location, perhaps a bit noisy, but much nicer than your average less expensive hotel in this area. Good value, if great service is your style. More

Since it was pouring down and freezing when we arrived, it was very nice to see that we had ended up at a nice place. The courtyard is a very soothing place to have a glass of wine after a busy, well perhaps not that busy, day. We got a top room with a small terrace section, which came to... More

A lovely cool calm riad in the heart of the medina, the rooms were clean and traditional with the worst pillows I have ever slept on thank god for the good hamam to offset the stiff neck, breakfast was lovely if a little carb loaded and the service was pleasant and efficient, the odd thing was the excessive ammount of...

After finding all the places to stay in Lonely Planet full or utterly mediocre and overpriced we stumbled across this hotel. It's bigger than a true Riad but it no way less individual or peaceful. The courtyard is stunning and cool, the perfect place for drinks and the food is well above average. Our room was pretty, cool and very... More

We booked this Riad after reading reviews on tripadvisor and we were not disappointed. The whole establishment had a lot of charm and character. Our room itself was very nicely decorated and furnished and was larger than expected, with a separate sitting room area. Although the street outside was fairly noisy, this quietened down by 10pm. The staff were friendly... More

There are plenty of reviews here and in guide books. Most tell the same story: it's a delightful place to stay, thogh a bit pricey for what you get. I'd agree, and I'm glad I chose to stay there, because although I'm sure I could have got almost the experience in a similar place, I don't think they have quite... More
