fantastic base for exploring key attractions and parks
I really loved my stay here because it was a lovely riad in a great spot for walking to all the main attractions, just a short stroll from Bacca Coffee and the Secret Garden, which I found super convenient for my city explorations.

The staff was super friendly and helped us out with everything, especially when we wanted to hit up the main market and the beautiful gardens nearby. The rooms were super clean, and the breakfast each morning was good, with fresh traditional options. Really enjoyed chilling by the plunge pool after exploring all day. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great experience!
One hiccup was on our last day when my friend had a headache, and we needed some extra assistance later in the night. It took a bit longer to get help than we expected, but they did come through eventually.

What a braw spot! Clean rooms were just as the pics showed, and the staff went above and beyond. The rooftop area was pure bliss for a wee sunbathe. Only downside was the tricky find at first, but once you're there, it’s cracking!

Stayed for 6 nights and was impressed by this small hotel. The room was silent and reasonably large with bathroom, truly enjoyed it. I had TASTY food for breakfast on the roof top. The location in a nice quiet area was particularly good and lovely and there were shops and a local store nearby. The service was exceptional in my opinion.

Would be happy to recommend for a speedy visit
Comfortable room, attentive staff, with a relaxing hammock area on the terrace that enhances your experience, and a great location just a short distance from key attractions for easy exploration.
Everything was just right.

Unique Moroccan decor creates a charming vibe. The themed dinner nights with good food were a highlight. The rooftop is fantastic. A bit tricky to find at first. Watch out for busy mopeds in narrow streets!

The Standard Twin Room was beautifully decorated and super comfy! The beds felt amazing after a day of exploring. Plus, the decor really gave it an authentic Moroccan vibe. The only downside was that you could hear guests chatting in the courtyard at night, which occasionally disrupted sleep.

The rooftop is a hidden gem, perfect for basking in the sun while reading with zero interruptions. The unique Moroccan decor in the rooms adds an authentic touch that really elevates the stay.
The rooms can feel a bit dark and lack comfortable seating for lounging. It can get chilly at night, a problem easily fixed with bathroom heating, but still worth noting. Breakfast could use a bit more variety. Fresh fruit or local cheese options would really elevate it.

The rooftop offers a rare gem of tranquility, great for some peaceful sunbathing away from the crowds-just you and your book. The unique layout of the courtyard is visually charming, with traditional tile work that adds character and authenticity to the space.
Getting to this place involves a trek down narrow streets, about a five-minute walk from the main road, which could be problematic for anyone with mobility issues. Breakfast is pretty basic and can get repetitive, lacking some variety like fresh fruit. Dinner was a letdown too. The lamb tagine was more decoration than a proper meal, with a substantial lack of lamb and vegetables. And the noise from other guests can be disruptive, especially if they decide to hold loud conversations after hours in the courtyard.
