My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. Although the room was disappointing, the service and location made up for it. The dining experience was pleasant overall, and the facilities were satisfactory.

I was a bit let down by the small, dark, and hot room, not as portrayed on the tour operator's site. However, upgrading to a larger room with a private terrace would have been a better choice.

The Riad offers an incredible stay with its beautiful and traditional rooms, but there were occasional loud clangs from the metal bed frame. The service was extremely helpful and sweet, making our stay special. The location was amazing, within the Medina and close to everything, though the alleys could be intimidating. The dining experience, while abundant, became monotonous with repetitive bread and pastries. The facilities were top-notch, especially the courtyard surrounded by trees and resident tortoises.

I was delighted with my stay at the hotel. The room was spacious, with a lovely private terrace, even though it could have been larger than portrayed in the photos. The on-suite facilities were convenient, but I encountered a small issue with ants during my visit.

The location was superb for exploring both the Medina and the New Town. It was merely a 5-minute stroll from the vibrant Jemaa el-Fna square, making it easy to navigate the area. However, it could be a bit tricky to find initially, especially by taxi.

Dining in the riad courtyard, surrounded by trees, birds, and even resident tortoises, was a delightful experience. The meals were delicious, varied, and accommodated our dietary needs perfectly.

The hotel offered fantastic facilities, including a beautiful courtyard dining area and a charming ambiance with birds and tortoises. The fresh orange juice was a lovely touch to start the day.
