Fabulous place to stay. A beautiful well-appointed riad with service and hospitality to match! Located in the medina, close to souks and restaurants, but in an alley away from all the din. Unlike some alleys that are dark and creepy, this one is not. As a solo female traveler, i felt safe. Room and bed were comfortable and breakfast was very good too. Will definitely stay here again!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at this hotel! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The ambiance is elegant and beautifully reflects the rich Moroccan culture, with incredible attention to detail in every aspect. A special thank you to the manager, Youssef whose professionalism, kindness, and attentiveness made our stay even more enjoyable. In addition, the entire staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Whether at the front desk, the restaurant, or housekeeping, every team member greeted us with a smile and ensured that we felt at home. Their hospitality made all the difference in our experience. The food was also fantastic—breakfast was delicious and included traditional Moroccan pancakes, fresh juice, and the best mint tea! Overall, this hotel not only provides a beautiful and comfortable stay but also has a team that genuinely cares about its guests and delivers outstanding service. We will definitely return in the futur!
