I was staying here a couple of days as I needed to attend court with my fiancée as part of the marriage process. The woman who works at the property is lovely! Looks after her guests and the location is convenient. Right inside the old city near Bab bouljoud. Breakfast provided is also a delightful traditional Moroccan one.

Needs to be better
The bedroom offered was run down and the hotel needs a good refurbishment. Place was very difficult to find and I didn't felt safe in the area.

Feels like being welcomed in to their family
Super service! A very quick response to arrange a pick up from a late night flight (on FB messenger), even so we were warmly welcomed with mint tea and. The room was fine but if you want to sleep in it might be better to be higher up rather than 'in' the reception / breakfast area. Everybody was really nice, and the breakfast is good, even for vegans, with freshly squeezed juice and nice coffee. Location-wise it's also good, especially for when you first arrive, as it's not too far in to the maze, and also an easy walk to the bus station.

The staff is very friendly but we felt we got less value compared to similarly priced Riads around Morocco. The beds were extremely hard, the room was dirty, and we were shocked that the toilette is in the bathroom. There was also a smell of still water from the bathroom that was very uncomfortable. This place has a very pleasant rooftop, though. To me this felt more like a bargain hostel than a hotel.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was extremely helpful and welcoming. Nabil and staff took the time to chat with us during check-in, recommended places to see and restaurants for dinner. One of the days they were sharing a meal together and asked us to join in and try! Food was absolutely delicious. Our breakfast spread was Moroccan dishes which included freshly squeezed orange juice, mint tea, coffee, msemen, beghrir, croissants along side cheese, butter, honey and jams. The place will likely be a bit noisier during busier times of the year because you can hear people walking in the alley outside. Perhaps that's the case because our room was on the ground floor.
