“ Amazing Riad. Owner was very welcoming, location is great in the old medina and a 1 min walk from the Square. NOTE: It is difficult to find on your own but a 50 Dm taxi and 5 Dm tip to a local will get you there in no time. We loved this place! Thank you for a wonderful stay. ”

“ This place is a little oasis. The staff are very warm and friendly and the rates are more than reasonable. It's not the sort of place if you want to party though. Not a critisim just an observation. Also be prepared to pay someone to help u find it you will save a lot of time. ”

“ Beautiful place. Tranquil and relaxing. It's not a place for budget travellers though - much cheaper places can be found. Only come here if you intend to use the gorgeous grounds of the riad - it's truly stunning ”

“ What a fabulous place!!! Would recommend anyone to stay here and it is so unusual to find a twin room in a riad. Great owners, happy to put a beer in their fridge to drink up on the roof terrace. Has so much character for such a bargin price, can not be beaten. ”
