First of all, we were supposed to stay at the Riad , once we got there, we were told that the room we reserved they are doing construction on it , we were given an apartment outside of the Riad in a scary neighborhood, the apartment sheets , blankets and pillows so stinky! When we ask the lady that we don’t want to stay here , she simply responds with you can cancel if you want, on the top of that , they asked us to pay fee that it’s called a property taxes cash , which it’s already paid in the beginning that I have it in the confirmation invoice! They are scammers, not honest, they zero customer service ( not recommended at all )

Excellent location, clean, friendly staff, nice rooms. Breakfast is included. We got it for an extremely low price, which made it a superbe deal. Located directly in a small alley off one of the main streets in the Medina. The alley looked dark but don’t get fooled, the Riad is lovely. There is a roof terras with good to catch some sun. No view though. Within the Medina you go by door and there are steep stairs so not great if you travel with a bulky suitcase. Better with a backpack only. Only the shower was not warm consistently in our room on second floor. Otherwise highly recommend for the prize.

Good location

We arrived early so our room wasn't ready. We did check in a drop the bags. When we went to collect the bags there was a whole family at the reception ( the owners i guess) and the french man wouldn't even get up from the couch the get the bags as he was lying down watching tv. After making some gestures he did. We were never informed about breakfast so we paid for breakfast outside the premises ( my bad for not checking my booking but I would have expected to be informed about at the check in). We were on the first floor and at night it got so loud as people was chatting in the reception until about 11 and some others coming and going. The lack of a water fountain makes the riad quite noisy. But overall is a good place to stay, clean and cute room and very well located.

Relatively good central hotel

Good central place in medinah. Room slightly small with lack of storage space. Smell of damp from the bathroom, which could use some maintenance. Good breakfast.
