    Fantastic stay right in the center of the medina

    The riad was right in the center, yet very quiet. Unlike most riads, which are usually small, this one was quite spacious — and you can really feel the difference. The concept and design of the riad are beautiful. The room we stayed in was large and very cool. The terrace is amazing, and you can even enjoy an ocean view from there. The staff were always friendly and ready to help. We truly loved our stay! ♥️

    A bit difficult to find the Riad at first, not very well indicated. A bit noisy at night but nothing really bothering.

    Super well located, riad decorated with taste. Super clean and a very comfy bed with soft sheets. Beautiful location but our favorite part was the magnificent view of the terrace.

    It was noisy from the bar Taros every night until about 2-3am. You could feel the music and banging on the walls from the bar. Unfortunately this meant we did not sleep very well, and also during the day it was difficult to nap as there was also noise from cleaning and staff. If you like you sleep consider ear plugs as it was very restless during our 5 day stay. We considered moving as it was difficult to sleep at night and even try catch up in rest during the day. It was a nice place and good value, just maybe not for everyone.

    Beautiful place, confortable, great rooftop and view. wonderful helpful staff. Nice simple breakfast.

    Nothing.

    Beautiful courtyard full of trees, well appointed rooms, and delicious breakfast on the rooftop patio! We stayed in the nautical corner suite with views out to the sea. Staff is very welcoming and helpful with all of our travel needs. We enjoyed it so much we stayed an additional night. Thank you Dar Loulema!

    The strong smell in the street leading to the hotel was unpleasant, and the early morning prayers, projected straight into the riad, were quite disruptive. While music in the evenings from the nearby bar was noticeable, it was less intrusive in comparison.

    Staying at this riad was truly a unique experience. The stunning architecture, reminiscent of an old yacht, added a special charm. Our suite was spacious and beautifully decorated, with a balcony offering breathtaking ocean views - an absolute highlight. Breakfast was excellent and the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring a pleasant stay.

    Finding the riad was not straightforward as we had to go through a badly light passage under the houses of the medina which unfortunately smelled so bad we held our breaths. Once inside the riad, it was a completely different world: bright, beautiful, clean!

    Beautiful riad with plants in the courtyard. Spacious room and bathroom. We enjoyed the breakfast on the rooftop and the great location! Would go again!

    It is true that you can hear the music from the bar next door but this did not prevent me for having one of the most restful nights of my trip. Highly recommended.

    Excellent location in the heart of the Medina. Very beautiful riad with great interior design. Good breakfast and helpful, polite stuff.

    There's a bar right next to the riad, where some may find the music annoying at night. The insulation of the riad is fairly poor and therefore the music could be just loud.

    The riad if full of plants and the interior is neat and simple. Really generous breakfast with wonderful setting at the terrace where you can view the sea.

    Taros club next door and loud annoying music en bad singing. Lucky us it was only until midnight, so we did have a good night sleep.

    Beautiful Riad with charming courtyard and roof top. Nice rooms, very comfortable beds. Very nice stuff ( Karima) that greats you with big smile and laughter.

    It was a little hard to find so perhaps a more obvious sign would help.

    The atmosphere was incredible - calming and light - and the staff were super friendly. We had to leave early on our last morning but we were still given a breakfast of hot coffee and pancakes. Thanks for a lovely stay!

    The manager told us to tip the staff, which we had already done.

    The Riad is beautiful. We really liked the cleaning and breakfast staff. They were always kind and helpful. They served a really tasty breakfast. The central location is amazing. The fish market, citadel, and restaurants are minutes away.
