Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Spacious room and bathroom, cute interior, simple but tasty breakfast, easy to find in the medina, friendly staff who offer a map of the area and some tips. However the bathroom needs work : barely any water comes out of the shower and there isn't always hot water. The open shower format makes it so that water gets everywhere. There is no fan and the only window gives inside so the humidity never really goes away.

I am not happy that there was continuous building work going on next door ALL day until 8pm - seven days a week! I had to change rooms twice but the whole riad was noisy and the staff were unable to intervene or do much which isn’t their fault however - the management knew this work was going on yet there was no mention of it on the Expedia website!! I could only afford to stay somewhere else for my last night so paid an extra £160 to go to a peaceful hotel so I could sleep and not be driven slowly crazy! The hotel say they couldn’t refund me for the night I didn’t stay because I booked on Expedia !! Not happy. If you want to get any sleep do not stay at this place.

Our riad experience

Very friendly staff and were super helpful when I had to go and visit the local hospital. It's location is right in the centre of the bustling medina so restaurants and interesting shops are everywhere. However we needed to change the duvet covers as they were dirty in both rooms. There was a lack of windows and hence not much ventilation so the bathroom got quite smelly. All in all it wasn't as clean as we would have liked.

A little hard to find but like all Riads it looks rough outside but was quite nice inside. Considering the age of most of them it’s amazing. Definitely not what people would call 1st class but comfortable

Loved this hotel!

We loved our stay at the Dar Nafoura Mogador. We were warmly welcomed and settled into our beautifully decorated room, which was very clean. The bed was very comfortable. We were lucky enough to get a room upgrade since we were the only guests. The hotel is well located within the medina. It was easy to get to from the parking lot. Breakfast was great. I would recommend this hotel to others.
