    The stairs are very steep and narrow care is needed. One morning there was no hot water in the shower.

    Tradional Riad. Room basic but clean . Lovely Morrocan breakfast. Roof terrace with sea views was lovely.

    Like most traditional hotels in Marokko, it's a bit noisy so you will hear the other people so now and then.

    Lovely place to stay, very hospitable people and very clean as well. The breakfast is served on the roof terrace with a beautiful view on the Medina and ocean. Very recommendable!

    The Manager Sadia is super nice and friendly. The location is central. It is well worth trying a meal at the Riad, the meal is top class. Also if you're a musician, you could also have a jam with the owner Abdul, or just be entertained.

    Great location near the ramparts, just off the centre of town. Our host was very attentive and friendly. The included breakfast was served in the rooftop conservatory and available at our convenience. Would look forward staying there again.

    Room could use a source of heat. Bed uncomfortably firm Hallways and downstairs public areas would benefits from brighter pant work and more lighting

    The lady who seems to do just about everything - cook, clean, mange guest inquiries / requests - is absolutely superb Breakfasts were good. Location provided easy access to the Medina Terrace is attractively decorated offering an attractive place to relax

    Not much really. Very close to other rooms, separated only by light doors. Little privacy maybe, but not really a problem.

    Friendly personnel, good bed, clean, comfortable. Location is good. Nice terrace

    A place of real character, full of art and music (quiet, chilled music) and a warm welcome. I felt instantly at home, which is how Abdul wants all his guests to feel. The staff (especially the ever-present Sadia) go out of their way to be helpful. The location, just a few steps away from the ramparts with their perfect vantage point to watch the sunset, is ideal.

    Excellent breakfast every morning. Great freshly prepared fruit salad every day. Nice selection of breads, some of which were baked on the premises. Could not fault it in any way. Sadia who prepared breakfast was such a nice person, so helpful and friendly throughout our week long stay. Lovely roof terrace, with a great supply of ice! Rooms are lovely, and location is great for access to restaurants and a short walk to the beach. Super value too.

    What a nice and relaxing time we had in this charming Riad that felt like home. That is thanks to hosts Abdul and Sadia who were so welcoming. Abdul made you feel more like a friend than a guest and was responsible for some nice musical jamsessions in the afternoon and evening (that stopped before bedtime and was not loud at all) that made the place feel alive. Sadia was so caring and attentive in many ways; serving a coffee before breakfast started when i was already on the lovely roofterras, giving advice where to buy stuff, little conversations... And much more. The breakfast was one of the best during our holiday and every day a little variation. The room was very comfortable and felt spacious because of the high ceiling. A place to remember and come back to.

    Beautiful riad in a super location in the medina. The staff looked after us really well throughout our stay of 4 days - Sadia and (sorry I forget the other woman’s name) couldn’t do enough for us. The bedrooms and communal areas are comfortable and very nicely decorated.
