Excellent stay all round, what a beautiful property this riad is with a real warmth of hospitality provided by all. We loved the daily breakfast on the terrace, the tea and afternoon jazz music playing throughout, and the room was perfect for our the night stay.

For a perfect stay
Very good welcome, the riad is close to everything. The breakfasts are varied. The rooms are prepared with care every day. I even found my daughter's pajamas folded and put away. Availability of staff, cleanliness, a must.

Discovery and relaxing stay.
We had a very pleasant stay in this small Riad in the heart of the Medina. It is ideally located to visit and enjoy the city while being very quiet when you pass the door of this lovely Riad you forget the hustle and bustle of the Medina. You are welcomed with delicate attentions, the people are attentive, friendly, and available. A big thank you for the restaurant tips, visits, and this excellent homemade breakfast.

its a over priced hostel
The banana bread was good. Everything else was disappointing. It felt more like a hostel—the only difference was that it had a door and was private. They were honest about the amenities, but you would still expect to be able to use the bathroom without your neighbors hearing everything. I honestly have no idea how this place has a 9+ rating on Booking.com. I ended up booking a different hotel room just six hours after checking in. I would only recommend this place to people who specifically enjoy hostel-style accommodations. On a good day, I would rate it as a 2-star property. The location was also just okay. Be careful wearing open-toed shoes, as the alley outside was dirty and smelled like sewage while waiting for someone to open the door. Overall, the experience made me feel like I was in one of the roughest parts of Chicago.

- • The room, bathroom—everything. They don't lie about the amenities, but the bathroom is literally in the room. The room is nothing more than a bed and nothing else. I have no idea why they have such a high rating. I left without even sleeping there. I found another place for two-thirds of the price that had AC, a TV, a fridge, and was three times the size. It also didn't make me wait in an alley like a bum. For the price, I should have been met at the end of the street by a porter, like at every other hotel.
