The building was old but charming and the welcome was very nice

Lovely place in a quiet part of the Medina. Tastefully modernised, but still full of character. Owners are very welcoming, with tips and advice on where to go. Breakfast was also good. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

“A really lovely Riad with great staff in a nice neighbourhood. Comfortable and good value for money.”
This place was lovely. I was welcomed with tea and dried fruits. Communication before arrival was very good. My room was comfortable and very clean. The room and my private bathroom outside of the room was well cleaned daily and I really appreciated that. There was ample storage too. The breakfast was really good and the lady serving was kind. I really liked the area - a bit of a quieter spot in the Medina that felt safe and calm (a little away from the slightly more chaotic parts which are great to visit but nice to get away from at night). The price/quality ratio for this place was really good for my stay.

Well worth the money! Good breakfast, beautiful large bathroom. Good location too, it's an interesting street with pictoresque buildings, a bit "off the beaten path" -vibe but still inside lively medina.

“Fabulous friendly Riad in the Medina.”
Everything. Great location; inside the Medina but a quieter,calmer section. Wonderful, comfortable rooms, roof terrace and excellent breakfast, and the best staff. Cristina is lovely and Khadija is a total joy. Genuine sadness to say goodbye to her today, she made my trip so much more special. Couldn't do enough, and such a generous spirit and fellow human. Don't even think of staying anywhere else.
