We really enjoyed this Riad, once we got used to the walk through the narrow, twisting alleys to the very unpretentious entrance door. Then, like so many other medina riads, it opens into a hidden world. It is inside the very large medina and we greatly enjoyed being able to wander at will. Read more

It is a beautifully restored original home with all rooms facing the interior courtyards. Authentic decor and furnishings.

The room opened into the courtyard and everyone else's room so you can hear everything. The didn't have clear information when we first arrived and thought we were there a day yet, so that wasn't great on our first day. Read more

Friendly staff. Chilly rooms in winter; would probably be nice in the heat of summer. Steep, narrow steps to rooms. Center courtyad with pool. Traditional family-style breakfast. Rooms are dimly lit with limited outlets - so you can charge your phone or have the light on. Read more
