    It was a beautiful Riad, in a great spot, shower was great. All of the staff were so nice and friendly. The breakfast was great! Special thank you to the man working in the evening, sorry I can’t remember his name. My aunt wasn’t feeling well and he went with me to the pharmacy to help me get what she needed!

    Very nice personnel, Fatima and her colleague made us feel very welcome. Breakfast on the terrace was great. Beds were comfy. Location is also very good and as it’s at the outskirts of the Medina it’s less hidden which is nice especially at night

    We had a wonderful week-long stay at Riad Dar Abi, which is located on a quiet road in the Medina but nevertheless close to all the restaurants, cafes, other amenities and the seafront. The staff at Riad Dar Ami are outstandingly good, and we would like to thank Fatima, Marika and Ahmed for their terrific hospitality - they were always friendly, welcoming and helpful. Our second-floor room had everything we needed and the bed was fabulously comfy. In addition, the breakfasts were excellent. Thank you once again! Hope to visit again in the future.

    Very nice Hosts which are so friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and the Interieur is so authentic with the tipical Riad-Style.

    There was nothing I didn't like.

    Loved absolutely everything! Fatima was there to greet me when I arrived and explained everything about the city, places to eat, where to see the best sunset. The room was beautiful and so peaceful and quiet. I had the best night sleep. Breakfast was amazing. I had Fatima's cooking one night, and it has been the best meal I've had in Morocco. I can't recommend this Riad enough. You are close enough to everything but far enough for peace and quiet. I enjoyed the rooftop terrace for a break from the busy medona. I'm very fussy on finding a quiet place yo stay and I honestly didn't want to leave - unfortunately they were booked up and I couldn't extend.. The shower was also lovely & hot. Most of all, everyone there was absolutely amazing.

    A beautiful Riad located on a quiet side street in the Medina. Impeccably clean and tastefully decorated. The food was tasty, well prepared and attractively presented. The staff were exceptionally kind, helpful and attentive to all our needs ! Especially Fatima, who is an angel! I had a health crisis and she was by my side with genuine compassion and concern, navigating my way through a foreign hospital visit! I will always remember her loving kindness!

    No complaints.

    Where to start?? We absolutely loved our stay at Riad Dar Abi. It was our last stay to end our two week Moroccan travels and Fatima helped make our stay so memorable. The rooms are beautifully decorated with Moroccan rugs, art, and blankets. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was big, and the shower always had warm water. Fatima prepared us homemade breakfast every morning of mint tea, coffee, fruit, an assortment of fresh breads and pastries, eggs, jam and butter. It was so generous and so nice to have a breakfast like that to start our day. There is also laundry service for $5 which we needed to have done after two weeks of traveling. I spent a lot of time reading on the rooftop and enjoying the sun. The star of our stay though was definitely Fatima. She is such a kind and wonderful person. She even offered to help buy us a rug when we told her we were looking for a runner similar to the one she had in the riad. On my last morning there, Fatima drew henna on my hand as a parting gift. It was truly a thoughtful gesture, and I'm thankful that we were able to spend our last remaining days in Morocco at Riad Dar Abi with Fatima. We recommend staying here without hesitation.

    Loved this riad, all of the staff were very welcoming, Fatima made amazing breakfast every morning which we had on the Terrace - a highlight from our trip! Location was easy to find and easily walkable from all areas of the medina. The riad felt safe, perfect for a couple. There was a helpful and friendly staff member who was covering the night shift.

    Fathima and her team were excellent, the rooms were clean and tidied and cleaned everyday. We left early on the day of departure due to a flight and they organised breakfast early for us. Nice quiet rooms, traditional riad style thick walls to keep out the heat with internal window for air.
