Did not live up to other riads in my experience. One consideration is they use an extremely strong cleaning product that made my stomach turn. I've never had issues with chemical cleaners before. Internet is at times unusable. Location is as good as any if you like to be central and near most everything. Breakfast is very solid for a hotel, but again falls behind other riads.

Very beautiful and centrally located Riad - Philip the host was friendly and helpful, provided us with great restaurant recommendations and offered to help contact businesses to make appointments for Hammam's and make dinner reservations. Our bus to Casablanca was scheduled for the afternoon, after check out time and they were gracious enough to let us keep our bags at the Riad while we explored before our bus. Delicious breakfast, beautiful rooms - an all around wonderful experience.

Ein sehr herzlichen Empfang durch Philipp. Er hat uns super gute Restaurants empfohlen. Dieses Riad ist sehr geschmacksvoll eingerichtet mit vielen kleinen Details. Das Frühstück war liebevoll serviert worden mit top Produkte. Wichtig man kann nicht vor das Riad fahren. Vor den Stadtmauern kann man jedoch ein Gepäckträger für 20 DH nehmen, der auch weiss wo das Riad ist und ihm dann folgen.
