Edge of medina vey convenient.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel is was lovely with delightful and helpful staff. Good breakfasts. WiFi and Aircon both excellent. It is located close to Jmaa el Fnaa so excellent evening entertainment on hand, but equally taxis nearby to go further afield. The only slight drawback was a smelly drain in our bathroom which we dealt with by running the fan.

Schönes Riad. Das Frühstück war offenes Buffet und sehr lecker. "Mustafa" vom Personal war sehr freundlich und immer hilfsbereit. Das Hotel war auch relativ nah zum Haupt Platz. Allerdings haben wir in diesem Hotel das höchste City-Tax unseres Urlaubs bezahlt.

We were in the Riad when it was really cold at night. Comfort in the room is great as it has a heating but the breakfast area on the roof was freezing cold, also breakfast wasn´t too convincing. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It´s a quite area even though it´s in the medina, only the room walls are quite thin so that you here all sounds of your neighbors. Wifi did work properly.

1度は泊まって欲しい宿

フナ広場まで徒歩6分ほどで着くので立地はかなり良いです！ホテル前は車が入れないのでタクシーを降りて歩いていると荷物持つよ、道案内するよとあっという間に取り囲まれるので、空港まで送迎を頼んだ方が良いです。チェックイン時にはミントティーを出してもらいました。フロントは、英語が喋れるひとがかぎられているので、質問などはまとめて済ませた方が良いと思います！部屋は清潔感あり！どこを撮っても絵になる素敵なホテルです！

This riad is beautiful and close to everything. They have a 24h parking garage close to the Riad if you have a car. Place Jemâa el-Fna is just around the corner. It took a long time to check in because I think not all the staff can check in guests and you have to pay taxes when you leave (it’s not included in the price so your visit will be more expensive). But otherwise I’m really happy with the stay and will definitely visit it again and recommend it to others
