The place is in a great location and is beautiful inside. The internet was pretty bad, I don’t know if that was there issue or just what it is. The outlets didn’t work unless the lights were on so you need to charge things before going to bed. The breakfast was nice but the restaurant never opened other than tha, but there are tons of places around it. The staff wasn’t all that friendly but would help if asked.
The main part of the Riad was beautiful and the location and rooftop breakfast was great; however, the WiFi was very unreliable and when I called down to get assistance, I was told they didn’t speak English and call back in the morning. I had to use my personal phone service for everything and at the price range of this stay was not acceptable.

Good loaction
Decent location. No services to speak of at the hotel. The breakfast seems like it starts whenever they get around to it. Never once did it start serving near posted times. Better to go down the street to one of the cafes.The front desk insisted we had to pay cash and asked us to do so 1 day before our departure.
Loved this Riad, I would only suggest that the breakfast is the weakness, jam and bread is not a continental breakfast, no eggs, cheese, or meats, This is the only negative on the service. The roof terrace was also disappointing and well below expectation. So in summation, the riad is beautiful, and my message to te RIAD is - my room was great and your staff are great, but you need to improve the quality of your breakfast, and put some thought into landscalping and updating your roof terrace.
The property is beautiful, very well thought out and intricate decor. Bed very comfortable and good WiFi throughout.
The room was clean and the man on reception when we checked in and most mornings was lovely.
Breakfast was nice apart from one day when there was toasted stale bread.
On the first morning of our stay we woke to find a TV show shooting in the hotel. Warning would have been nice as we had planned to spend the rainy day relaxing in the room and getting a massage - but it was too noisy, and we couldn't send out laundry as staff were too busy. We also had to go out in the rain to get between breakfast and the stairs to go to the room as the elevator and main part of the hotel were out of bounds due to filming.
The day after the rain there was banging all morning, presumably roof repairs after the rain? Not there fault.
Language barrier with staff in the evening and night shift, but nothing major.
Sometimes slow to get back into the hotel as the door is locked in the night.
Would stay again, but wouldn't rush back.
I loved staying here as each room is so unique and beautiful, so much detail into all the walls, I loved the traditional Moroccan touches and design of the place, it really has so much beauty. That alone would make me stay here again. However, the staff wasn’t the most helpful and accommodating as I would have hoped for, one morning we came down a little after 1030 for breakfast and they told us they wouldn’t be able to make it for us anymore, so just be aware they aren’t flexible with that policy. Also, it wasn’t very clean, as my feet were dirty after walking on the floors of our room barefoot. And be aware of the loud clock tower right next door chiming all hours of the night, that woke me up a few times. Other than that, we had a great stay! It is in a great location, close to everything!
The riad is really beautiful! Staff was friendly - they even brought tea up to my room at 11pm, which was very kind. The breakfast was decent, but small. The location is perfect - on the outside perimeter of the Medina, so parking is close and it’s easy to find.
Delightful decor, not unique by Moroccan standards but very pleasant. Spa was nice and relaxing. In outskirts of souk/medina with parking in public harbour car park. Wonderful large bath worth the fun but be prepared for long full time. In short would visit again but suited for short break 3-4 days as no great facilities although roof top does allow limited sun bathe.
The place has amazing moorish decorations.
Room are very widw with high ceiling.
Very impressive.
The only downside was the horrible mattress.
I woke up with back pain after few hours.
My wife had the same problem.
Uncomfortable bed.
