Wet and humid rooms, the walls falling off due to humidity and affects breathing and bones. The pillows are made for Giants and not humans. Whatever we complained they didn't take it seriously as the unhealthy condition is a norm there. You can't sleep next to the mosque and after coughing due to the wet indoor.

Everything. One very minor suggestion. When a street is mentioned in a directive give it its name.

We stayed for just one night but we would love to stay much longer. The hotel is very neat and beautifully decorated. A great bonus is a wonderful rooftop with cosy sofas and splendid view upon the ocean. The location is also perfect: 15 min walk to the bus station and 5 min walk to the fortress. Located in the heart of medina, the hotel is in the small and quiet street, and one of the main rules there is being quiet. It made us extremely happy after the noisy hotel in Marrakesh. The room was big and comfortable, with anything we needed. But what impressed us the most was the hospitality of Jeraldine, the owner. She is such a nice person! Her charisma made us smile during all the check -in time. As our bus was early the next day, she arranged an early breakfast for us "for you don't travel with empty stomacks". Big thanx to Jeraldine and all the staff for our comfortable stay! PS if you make your dream come true and visit St Petersburg, Jeraldine, you have my contact on booking. I can show you around my beautiful city with great pleasure

Location was perfect, very easy to get around the medina and also to the port and beach by following the Medina walls. Geraldine was the most fanatic host- she explained everything clearly and with such fun. She honestly made our stay, such a fabulous character with a wealth of knowledge about the city and where to go.

“Beautiful place, perfect location, and very kind staff.”
We had a wonderful stay. The riad is very beautiful, with a great atmosphere, a lovely terrace to enjoy sunsets, and delicious breakfasts served under a huge banana tree. The location is perfect: close to the city center but on a quiet street. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and always helpful.

“Nice stay!”
Very good location. The host was nice. A terrace for breakfast is marvelous, regretfully we didn't have a chance to use it due to rain.

Everything was great. We loved the Riad and the staff. pitty no Visa, but easily solved. The breakfast on the terrace was great, even with the wind! A siesta on the terrrace is unmatchable. And the location is perfect. Close to everywhere, but not in the exact middle. And the rooms are great also!
