Loved our stay here, staff were just amazing. We felt very safe walking around the area, even at night. It really is like an oasis, about 20 min walk from Jemaa el-fnaa. Breakfast was lovely. We found some nice restaurants for dinner locally in Kasbah too. Very quiet once inside and the rooms / beds are clean and comfortable. The roof terrace is great for enjoying the afternoon sun too.

Beautiful Riad

Accomadating staff, but allow you your own space. Calm, peaceful location but mere steps to the heart of the medina. Really worked well with an active 3 yr old too. Would recommend the Chocolate room for space for 3.
