Lovely little Road, nice breakfast but carbohydrate heavy so be aware diabetics. Room and bed were comfortable and hot water working well. The staff at the hotel were friendly and professional and were really nice to put up with my almost nonexistent French. I would recommend for authentic stays.

Spacious room and bathroom, cute interior, simple but tasty breakfast, easy to find in the medina, friendly staff who offer a map of the area and some tips. However the bathroom needs work : barely any water comes out of the shower and there isn't always hot water. The open shower format makes it so that water gets everywhere. There is no fan and the only window gives inside so the humidity never really goes away.

Our riad experience

Very friendly staff and were super helpful when I had to go and visit the local hospital. It's location is right in the centre of the bustling medina so restaurants and interesting shops are everywhere. However we needed to change the duvet covers as they were dirty in both rooms. There was a lack of windows and hence not much ventilation so the bathroom got quite smelly. All in all it wasn't as clean as we would have liked.

Liked: Cleanliness
Location: The location is great. It's very central, just 5 minutes to the main market. Hotel/Riad: Riad itself is already a bit older, everything is in ok condition but it needs some renovations soon. Our room was not the best, the ventilation in the bathroom was broken, the mattress was terrible and so were the pillows. Also the room could have been cleaner. Our bed did not feel clean and had some bits and peaces on the linen. There was dust hanging of the walls. Personal: The staff is very helpful and nice. They helped us with everything we needed. Parking: Even though it says on Expedia that there is parking, this is not really the truth. There are some private parking lots about 10 minutes from the riad where you can leave the car for 2 Eur per night, which was fine.

I am not happy that there was continuous building work going on next door ALL day until 8pm - seven days a week! I had to change rooms twice but the whole riad was noisy and the staff were unable to intervene or do much which isn’t their fault however - the management knew this work was going on yet there was no mention of it on the Expedia website!! I could only afford to stay somewhere else for my last night so paid an extra £160 to go to a peaceful hotel so I could sleep and not be driven slowly crazy! The hotel say they couldn’t refund me for the night I didn’t stay because I booked on Expedia !! Not happy. If you want to get any sleep do not stay at this place.

La bonne humeur et la bienveillance de Mohamed ont également été très appréciés. Merci à Éric, le gérant pour sa gentillesse et a toute l'équipe du Riad. Isabelle
