Nice, friendly staff. Smokers smoke right by the entrance door, I get headaches fr cigarette smoke. Three flights of spiral stairs to get to our room, single bed very uncomfortable. Duvet smelled.

This is a charming little place and very good value for money. I guess it comes down to what one's after. You can easily upgrade to a larger room and still get very good value. The breakfast is simple but filling. What makes this property other than it's charming design is the staff. Mohammed and Omar were extremly helpful and always friendly. We had a very enjoyable time there.

Wir haben uns zwei Wochen lang dort gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Das Frühstück wurde uns täglich sehr liebevoll serviert. Uns hat das künstlerische und farbenfrohe Ambiente sehr gefallen. Das Riad ist nicht weit vom Strand, von bewachten Parkplätzen und schönen Restaurants. Der dort angebotene Kochkurs fand im Haus nicht statt, auch alle anderen auf dem Schild angebotenen Dinge nicht. Man findet aber gute Freizeitangebote. Schade fanden wir, dass der vorhandene Dachgarten nicht zu benutzen war, er wurde nicht gesäubert, wirkt heruntergekommen und es gibt keinen Windschutz. Dennoch war der Aufenthalt in sauberer Umgebung sehr schön.

Nettes Riad in idealer Lage. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Frühstück wurde frisch für jeden Gast zubereitet und war sehr lecker. Die Zimmer waren sauber und ordentlich, nur vielleicht etwas kitschig eingerichtet. Insgesamt eine sehr schöne Unterkunft und absolut weiter zu empfehlen.

Excellent emplacement de cet hôtel qui n'est pas un Rial mais un hôtel. La chambre qu'on nous avait octroyée était tout simplement affreuse ! La salle de bain n'avait pas de tapis de bain, n'avait qu'une seule serviette alors que nous étions deux. Pas de porte-savon non plus ! C'était vraiment le minimum de chez minimum ! En une seule douche, le sol était inondé d'eau ! Le sol de la chambre était plein de poussière, les tapis sales et la vue affreuse. Nous avons clairement dit que nous voulions changer de chambre et c'est vrai qu'ils ont été super cools. Ils nous ont donné une suite sans que nous ajoutions un euro. C'était vraiment très sympa. Le petit-déjeuner était inclus dans le pris de la chambre et à franchement parler, il était excellent ! L'éclairage de la suite que nous avions était tout simplement affreux. Obligés d'allumer la lumière à 10h le matin ! Quant à la terrasse, la vue est magnifique et les transats devraient être changés depuis au moins 10 ans !
