Staff were totally fab but this riad is basic, with slightly tatty decor, down a ramshackle alley with derelict buildings and rubbish piled up next door.

The people in the Riad who looked after from check-in to breakfast were super friendly and nothing was too much trouble. After a little mix up with the taxi from the airport everything else was excellent.

Lies on information about having a Spa, Bar, Restaurant etc.etc. Staff were polite but absolutely uselesss asked us if he could answer our questions the next day. Hard to find in the dirty alley ways. Room was sold as a Superior Suite which turned out to be a small room with a double and small single bed crammed in. Very disappointing. Tried to sort things out while their but staff not willing to help.

It’s almost impossible to find so they did send someone to walk me to the hotel and walk me back to the car and carry my luggage but it’s nowhere in the write up that it’s difficult. The people were nice and the room was OK.

Très bon Riad dans l’ensemble, en plein cœur de la médina, nous sommes aux souk en moins de 2 minutes à pied. Personnel très accueillant et à notre écoute, parle français. Propre dans l’ensemble, juste découverte de la présence de 2 cafards à l’entrée du Riad lors de notre dernier jour, ce qui nous a déçu.

Reservamos este Riad por la piscina y al llegar estaba vacía y no pudimos usarla. La habitación era una doble con una cama plegable de la que se le salían los pies a mi hijo. El desayuno correcto pero muy básico y justito. La ubicación es buena pero tardas mucho en salir y entrar por estar en unos callejones sin salida

Buena atencion por parte del personal

Cumple para ir a ver ciudad,muy bien limpieza y atención de Said, desayunos caseros, terraza chula,cerca plaza Jemaa el Fna.Como negativo el aspecto malo de las callejuelas hasta que llegas que no hacen justicia a como luego esta por dentro.Por el precio cumple. Tambien destacar que No hay Spa como anuncia y no pude contactar con ellos antes para contratar traslados del aeropuerto,aunque al llegar Sí nos estaban esperando para la entrada.

Mooie Riad. Prima gelegen dichtbij alle bezienswaardigheden. De service was heel goed. Vriendelijke mensen, doen alles voor je. Het ontbijt was eenvoudig, maar helemaal prima. Alleen de weg ernaar toe is iets minder, kleine achteraf steegjes. Je denkt eerst, waar kom ik terecht, maar als je eenmaal binnenstapt ben je aangenaam verrast.

Rolig placering og venligt personale

Dejlig beliggenhed, en rolig oase når man trænger til en pause fra Medinaens larm og “skønne kaos”. Personalet er meget venlige og imødekommende. Fik endda muligheden for at sende privat sms til en, såfremt hun skulle booke en tid til hammam for mig. De arrangerede upåklagelig bagageafhentning og kørsel til lufthavnen til en meget rimelig pris. Sidst men ikke mindst serverede de en skøn myntete.
