    It was the perfect location for everything we needed, the staff were so friendly and helpful. The room is basic but clean and has good amenities! We didn’t eat there so can’t comment on food!

    The bathroom has no air-extractor, therefore the room gets dumpy and smells humid. The manager was pushy for check-out at 11h though the hotel was empty ...

    Breakfast was good, sea-view from the top terrasse is nice, attentive service at breakfast, convienient distance to public parking lot. The morning fish-market is great to visit!

    Sound travels but that goes with the design of a riad and wasn’t a problem for us. Closing the shutters and windows helped immensely.

    Location was great, easy walking everywhere, and easy to find upon arrival (huge). The room was spacious, closet space, nice ventilation into the interior ‘courtyard’. Breakfast on the terrace upstairs was lovely, staff friendly. Would definitely stay again.

    Room was a little dark but comfortable!

    We were surprises at the location, reading the description we thought it was on the waterfront, it is a location right in the middle of the walled medina down lots of alleyways but very close to restaurants and cafes, breakfast was very Moroccan with lovely bread, pastry and an omelette, Moroccan tea and coffee

    We were told we could have some coffee on our final morning as we were leaving the just before 8am, the lovely lady who was normally in the reception area said we could have coffee and cake at 7am but on our return to the Riad on our last evening we were met by Aissah and a French woman who were waiting for us, they told us there would be no coffee and nothing to eat as it was a public holiday in the morning, nobody would be at the property and breakfast is only 8-10 am but we could buy some at the airport, we were to let ourselves out and put the keys in reception. When we thought about this later we felt very let down, no hot drink, nothing provided and the worst part was no member of staff on site for us leaving, what if we had a problem? What if it was a single traveller and they fell down the stairs? What if we left something in the property? There was no way to get back inside. This was a very bad decision, the fact it was a public holiday the day we were leaving should not impact on the guests. It is also a shame that the little finishing touches no longer exist, instead of coming back to lots of small candles lit in the reception room there is now just two lamps which doesn’t have the same ambience and no fresh flowers in our room when we arrived. These small things gave it such a special feel the first time we stayed.

    We have stayed previously at the property. We liked the traditional style of the Riad. The cleanliness was exceptional and the staff apart from the day we were checking out were great, nothing was too much trouble and you only had to ask once for anything.

    The breakfast was very heavy on wheat products. I'm not allergic but intolerant so would have liked an option. We got the same, choc aux pain/pancake/bread every day with the odd addition of yoghurt or fruit, sometimes both. The bathrooms have no air vent so the room gets very damp and there is an odour. You have to leave your windows open during the day to air out and getting swimming costumes and beach towels dry is tricky. The staff kindly put mine on the airer on the roof, when they'd discovered it wet in our room. So you can use the facilities to do that.

    The view from the terrace of the sea every morning was a delight. The sunbeds on the terrace are comfortable and the hats were a good idea. The staff were friendly, kind and diligent. Our room was cleaned with fresh linen and towels every day. The location was perfect for the Medina and the beach.
