i found the staff very helpful. they organized taxis for me and helped plan activities. the terrace offered beautiful views, i could see far into the distance.

I didn't like that there were small flies in the room for a few days. I found this annoying. also, the swimming pool water needed to be cleaned more regularly. It was murky.

Wonderful Stay in a Charming Riad

airport pickupsroof terracebeautiful mosaicsbreakfast options

The staff helped arrange taxis for airport pickups and restaurant drop-offs. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The roof terrace was GREAT to relax on after exploring the hectic city. The decor had beautiful mosaics, and the place was beautiful and clean.

The breakfast offered the same options every day. A buffet could improve the variety. there was no water to drink and not enough fruit drinks available, a LITTLE disappointing.

Rooms

The room was spacious, and the bathroom had ample space with constant water pressure in the shower. Air conditioning, a hairdryer, and a safe were present. The room included warm blankets, shower gel, and shampoo, providing all necessary comforts.

Location

The location offered easy access to the main square at Jemaa el-Fna, approximately a 15-minute walk. It is situated a few blocks from where cars can access, which adds to the quiet atmosphere. This riad is near the main market.

Facilities

The riad features a lovely terrace overlooking grounds. It is a wonderful spot at the end of each day. The terrace had a beautiful pool. The riad has high palm trees, and melodious birds, and includes intricate mosaic and carving.
