    We felt like home. Staff was exceptional, and decoration and overall style was very beautiful and traditional exactly what we were looking for (compared to other riad we stayed in). Loved comfortable bed too!

    The staff was outstanding. They went out of their way to find services. They even walked us out to the street to find taxi services. The front desk staff was professional and very very accommodating. A special thanks to Mustapha, Nordine, Zakaria, and Driss. What a team!!!

    The only downside was that our room was right next to the front door, so we experienced some noise when guests returned late at night. Unfortunately, we had an inconsiderate neighbor who kept ringing the bell, stomping up the stairs, slamming doors, and shouting, which woke us up. This wasn’t the riad’s fault, but light sleepers may want to request a room further inside for a quieter stay.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful & Peaceful Riad with Amazing Service – Just Be Mindful of Noise Inside We stayed at this riad for three nights and had a fantastic experience. The riad itself is absolutely stunning, with gorgeous traditional decor and a beautiful rooftop that was the perfect place to relax. We were dropped off by our taxi, which cost €30 for one way, which is quite expensive, however for peace of mind to be dropped off and escorted to the right place, it was worth it. We were welcomed with mint tea and shown round the riad and to our room. Our room was lovely—traditional in style, very clean, and well-equipped with a comfortable bed, air conditioning, and a heater, making it ideal for any season. Housekeeping was excellent, with fresh towels and bedding provided daily, keeping the space spotless. The bathroom was gorgeous, and the sink was a dream! The breakfast was great and varied, with a lovely selection each morning to start the day. The reception staff were truly amazing—incredibly kind, welcoming, and always willing to help. They gave us great recommendations and even went above and beyond by helping us print off our boarding passes, which was a lifesaver since you need them at the airport. Their hospitality really made our stay even better. The location was great, about a 15-minute walk to the main souks, making it easy to explore the city. While it’s not inside the medina, the area was quiet and peaceful, with no outside noise or busy traffic. The shops near the riad were fantastic—much cheaper than those in the main souks and offering a great selection of items. Overall, we absolutely loved our time here and would love to return. If you’re looking for a beautiful, peaceful, and well-located riad with incredible service, this is a fantastic choice!

    1) Location is few metres away from the main road. It’s kinda scary at night to be honest. Beggars and kids are following you asking for something at night. In my entire stay, I’m usually home by 7 pm. I only went home late once, the walk to the Riad was scary. 2) Do not stay on the lower ground rooms. I stayed in Bab Er-raha. The noisy guests will wake you up cos the common area is just across the room. You’ll also heear shouting kids outside the Riad. 3) Mattress and Pillow are not comfortable. Beddings were itchy. 4) No blow dryer. 5) Doesn’t feel homey at all. 6) No light in the shower area. You have to request for a candle. Not safe for old people.

    Staff is their number 1 asset. Very accommodating and helpful with all your needs. I just wish they have a Whatsapp number where tourists can call or message them. Breakfast was okay. So many options to choose from.

    This was not a huge deal but we thought the rooms could use a bit of sound proofing as we felt the need to speak very softly at times. You could hear neighbors and they could hear us, which may be a privacy issue for some visitors.

    Staff was excellent! All members of staff greeted us with warmth and took the extra step to provide help when needed. They were proactive in giving us suggestions with location, understanding costs, etc.

    Fantastic place to stay, would 100% recommend. So serene, everyone working there were so friendly, the breakfast everyday was delicious. We loved our room and the rooftop terrace is just want we needed after busy days exploring and we loved the tortoises. A few minutes walk from the start of the markets and restaurants so ideal location.

    It is a bit far from the city centre, but it is easy to walk. Finding the entrance may be confusing for the first time.
