    It was great value for the price we paid and there wasn't really anything we didn't like about our stay at the Riad.

    The staff was very helpful and very friendly. We interacted mainly with Samir and will remember his very positive attitude, his smile and the time he spent with us to help us and answer our questions. The location of the Riad is good and we found it good value for money. The small swimming pool on the roof top is great for children to relax after a day of visiting the city. Great breakfast in the morning.

    Nothing. Everyone was amazing and very helpful.

    The staffs were all amazing. Samir and Abdullah are really kind and accommodating. They helped us a lot during our stay and the hotel really exceeds our expectations. For such a cheap price, we had a beautiful traditional room and breakfast was delicious. All are freshly made and we loved it. The place is also near of everything. The square, palais el bahia, place menallah are a few minutes walk away. The place is also safe amd has free wifi. Just look out for the motorcycles on the streets. At first, you would think that it’s scary because there’s a lot of narrow streets before the hotel, but that’s the beauty of it. My friends and I really had fun and will definitely go back again. Additionally, Samir helped us book a taxi going to airport even on his day off. He is such a sweetheart. I definitely recommend the hotel. Also, if you want to buy argan oils and anything for souvenirs, go to the store beside the cafe restaurant at palace menallah. Just on other street. Look for Isham. He is very good at explaining every product and will give you a discount! He such a good berber. I will put the image of his shop on this.

    We got lost returning on our first night as the riad is very tucked away in a maze of alleys, but we were fine after that - and in the light! Abdul pointed out we should have rung him; he would have come to find us!

    Immaculately clean and very comfortable with high attention to detail - great bedding etc Fantastic value. Lovely breakfast on the terrace, changes every day. We especially loved the yoghurt ( home made) and the honey. Best of all, though, is the level of 24- hour service . Nothing is too much trouble and it really made us feel so confident and happy in what was a strange city for us. Abdul met our taxi ( sent by the riad to the airport) to guide us and waited with us for the taxi to go back. Every advice and help was given by Abdul and Samir - how much things should cost, where to go etc. everyone at the riad so friendly and nice. I’d recommend wholeheartedly.

    Beautiful property which encapsulated the traditional architecture and beauty of Morocco. The property was kept clean and was a very hospitable environment. It was located very close to many of the main tourist attractions which made it convenient but also far enough to get a rest and some quiet from the hustle and bustle of the area.

    The streets leading up to it can be a bit unsettling but once you get used to it, you’re good

    I liked the whole vibe it was so good and the breakfast was the best breakfast I’ve had in my life and that’s not an understatement. The rooftop view with the sunshine and traditional breakfast, wow. The staff were amazing too so nice and hospitable
