Staff were totally fab but this riad is basic, with slightly tatty decor, down a ramshackle alley with derelict buildings and rubbish piled up next door.

It’s almost impossible to find so they did send someone to walk me to the hotel and walk me back to the car and carry my luggage but it’s nowhere in the write up that it’s difficult. The people were nice and the room was OK.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Lies on information about having a Spa, Bar, Restaurant etc.etc. Staff were polite but absolutely uselesss asked us if he could answer our questions the next day. Hard to find in the dirty alley ways. Room was sold as a Superior Suite which turned out to be a small room with a double and small single bed crammed in. Very disappointing. Tried to sort things out while their but staff not willing to help.

Mooie Riad. Prima gelegen dichtbij alle bezienswaardigheden. De service was heel goed. Vriendelijke mensen, doen alles voor je. Het ontbijt was eenvoudig, maar helemaal prima. Alleen de weg ernaar toe is iets minder, kleine achteraf steegjes. Je denkt eerst, waar kom ik terecht, maar als je eenmaal binnenstapt ben je aangenaam verrast.

Parfait super séjour

Parfait hôte à l écoute et présent si besoin sinon séjour parfait à proximité de la grande place donc parfait. Les 2 bémoles sont la localisation impossible en voiture donc il serait bien de préciser qu’il faille se garer dans un parking privé. Là deuxième chose est le petit déjeuner très bon mais il ne reflète pas le Maroc avec ces crêpes melloui et ralcha pour ceux qui connaissent.
