“Great restaurant w/ super friendly staffs and AMAZING architecture!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2011

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. Stunning building!!!
It has a beautiful patio with fountains filled with roses and traditional decos. It was pity that we went here on a day trip but if you stay here overnight, I would definitely recommend this.

“Breathless at the beauty of this Riad”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2011

person found this review helpful

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, they were quite quirky and fitted into the style of the hotel.

The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful - we had a lovely time in this beautiful town.

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

“Real moroccian spirit”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2011

people found this review helpful

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 good and stable, not in the room - in the lounge area. Breakfast was not so special - very sweet, always creeps.
It can be noisy (and be ready to wake before sunrise because of minaret), but it's normal for downtown location in Morocco.

Room Tip: 1st floor is the best

“You get what you pay for”

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.
