Reviews and Ratings
The riad is a hidden gem with clean, comfortable rooms showcasing real Moroccan style decor and a small, but perfect poolside. The staff, especially Mr Ahmed, goes above and beyond to provide exceptional service, blending Moroccan charm with modern comforts. The location, though a bit challenging to find, is a peaceful oasis near the bustling souks and Djema El Fna square, making it an ideal stay for a few days. The dining experience offers a taste of Morocco and Italian delights, with simple yet delicious options. Overall, a great value for a unique and cozy stay.
