    Slight smell from bathroom drains permeating into the room but this was only in one of the rooms our of the 3 we booked. This was a small thing. Would definitely return

    Fantastic centrally located riad within the medina not far from the taxi areas. Quiet riad with rooftop area. We only stayed for 1 night but the riad had great facilities and a wonderfully laid out breakfast. Amin who is the manager was very helpful with suggestions of where to have dinner as well as finding us a taxi back to Marrakech at a good price. Plus the taxi driver didn't make the usual stops at any shops/ Argan shops, which was great to have a smooth calm ride back to Marrakech. The restaurant Amin recommended near the hotel was fantastic and very well priced.

    Nothing I didn’t like.

    Traditional riad in the middle of the medina. Absolutely loved it here. Amir greeted us upon arrival with mint tea and biscuits plus a map of the medina together with tips on places to visit and eat. The rooms are simple, clean and all that you need. Amir is literally available all the time to help should you have a question. Gorgeous freshly cooked breakfast. Great value for money.

    We found the bed very firm but this seems quite typical of places we have stayed in Morocco (and it’s also a personal preference).

    Easy to find when arriving at Supratours bus station. We stayed in one of the smaller rooms which was perfect for a short stay and excellent value for money. Simple, tasteful decoration. Staff were polite and friendly. Breakfast has been mentioned in these reviews many times and we were not disappointed. They serve a variety of dishes we haven’t come across in other Moroccan guesthouses and the quality was excellent. Congratulations to the ladies in the kitchen!
