Abdul was an excellent host. The Riad was well maintained and clean and the breakfast was fantastic. If you are looking for an authentic morrocean experience, this is the place to stay in the heart of the medina. It can be confusing to get to the Riad and it's dark on the walk up to Riad at night so best off staying there in a group, not on your own.

The staff was amazing! And the whole property is beautiful, including the rooms. Note: it is not easy to arrive by taxi. The riad is through the Medina so it was a half-mile walk with our luggage though the market and narrow streets. The hosts always made us feel appreciated, safe, and welcome.
