What an amazing Hotel with Old world Moroccan charm. All the staff are super friendly and go out of their way to help. Was given a choice of rooms at check in. Nice Breakfast in the morning.
Justin Gervet, 7-night trip

4/10 Fair

Inaccurate rating and description of property. The room and fittings tired and more befitting for backpackers on a hippie trail. Basic amenities missing, no power sockets or heating during this cold May.

The property was too small for a decent Riad, the room was small and the shower was awful. dirty towels. Very disappointing.

Hôtel super, environnement bruyant

Nous sommes accueillis par un thé a l'arrivée. Il n'y a pas de parking à proximité, il faut en payer un et trouver l'hôtel dans la médina. Le lieu est magnifique, le personnel accueillant. Mais c'est un lieu extrêmement bruyant, même a l'intérieur, même la nuit : tout le temps.

Sentralt.

Nydelig Riad. Grei takterrasse. Flott og hjelpsom betjening. Midt i gamlebyen (Medina-en). Begynner å bli litt slitt.

8/10 Very good

El alojamiento bonito, tiene un restaurante donde se come muy bien y a buen precio, y dispone de habitaciones sencillas pero prácticas. Pero la limpieza de la habitación daba que desear. Las sabanas y toallas no se pasaban por lejía, estaban manchadas. No se barría o fregaba bajo la cama y la cantidad de polvo y pelusas que tenia el cabezal de la cama era de no haberlo limpiado en años. Si se centraran en la limpieza de las habitaciones el alojamiento mejoraría mucho.

Établissement pas entretenu. La terrasse est maculée de fientes de mouettes. Chambre non entretenue. Dommage car le personnel est sympathique.

Le Riad est magnifique, la partie pas encore rénovée laisse à désiré. ( c’est un lieu agréable et authentique).

Établissement vieillissant qui demande du rafraîchissement, du renouvellement dans ses équipements et du nettoyage. Cependant il est très bien situé.
