Great hospitality in a beautiful place. The riad is located very centrally, close to everything, but is very quiet at once. The staff is amazing. Very tasty breakfast is accompanied by a stunning view of the city and the ocean.

Perfect location close to the walls of the Medina, but also close to "all the action". Great view over the ocean and beach. Wonderful terrace for breakfast and chilling. The interior was cool, felt authentic. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. We had the best breakfasts of our Morocco trip here, with some fruit (we had been longing for it in other places before this!!). The room is spacious enough, and with ocean view.

I would give this Riad 1000 points if I could, mainly because of the amazing female staff, and particularly Hayat. You all made my stay wonderful with your kindness and hospitability. I felt so pampered and taken care of. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you! The Riad itself is beautiful, peaceful and spacious. My room was gigantic, and I really liked the design of it. Breakfast is excellent and you cannot get a better location within the centre. I will definitely be back, and next time for a bit longer. If you have the opportunity to stay here, don´t hesitate to book it.
