    In the room I was staying you can smell a bit of mold in it, especially when the doors are closed.. but that should be expected for a place at the medina near the beach. For an allergic person like me I wasn't able to sleep comfortably.but again the room was super clean, sheets as well.

    The hotel is super clean, staff super nice. There's breakfast included,which is delicious.The location is perfect right at the heart of the medina, near everything you need.There's hot shower and everything, and the decoration is just like the photos. I loved the Riad vibes and the calmness inside.

    The room was a bit small and very minimalist.

    Location is great, right at the heart of the Medina. About a 5 minute walk to the beach.

    This is a lovely quiet riad. It has a pleasant roof terrace, the rooms are spacious and well kept. It is close to the beach, fish market and medina. A great location.

    The furniture requires refurbishment, additional electrical outlets are needed in the room, and the sink water drainage must be maintained.

    Stayed at this hotel and was thoroughly impressed. The staff were commendable in their service, always treating us with genuine kindness. The facility was spotlessly clean, and the overall ambiance was pleasant. A big thank you to the staff for their outstanding hospitality.

    Expect some noise due to location and layout. Minor compared to other places in the Medina. Our room was naturally cold, but next to no air circulation. We missed a fan of sorts. More hooks (for clothes) and a bathroom hand towel would be nice.

    Central but fairly quiet location. Entryway, reception, and overall energy peaceful and relaxing. Warm, friendly, helpful owners that go above and beyond. Tastefully decorated. Very clean. Beds comfy. Hot water in shower. Good Wifi. Laundry service available. Variety of sitting rooms on ground floor. Great view from the roof. Breakfast was delicious; Lokeman played his guitar and sang a few songs for us while we ate. It was lovely; he has a beautiful and unique voice. Yoga, cooking class, language class available. Anything else you need, ask. If they can’t provide, they’ll help you find someone who can. My adult son and I really enjoyed our stay. 💙🙏🏼 💙

    The breakfast could be better but cannot complain for that price. As a note you need to pay for any extra coffee or tea in the breakfast.

    Great stay for the price. I had a room on the terrace and was big enough and a comfortable bed. The staff was very nice as well. It was a last minute booking near the midnight and it was great that they had 24 h reception. Enjoyed my stay.
