Don't be fooled by the photos. This place is really old and run down. Be careful in that lane getting to the "hotel" as I had men follow me and demand I give them money. It was a very scary experience. Amine is a sweetheart though, aftter that incident he would escort me back and forth. The room itself is really old and the toilet wohldnt flush. There was also a foul smell from outside the bedroom. Do not recommend this place at all.

Hard to find in the dirty alley ways. Room was sold as a Superior Suite which turned out to be a small room with a double and small single bed crammed in. Very disappointing. Tried to sort things out while their but staff not willing to help.

Riad trop cher pour les prestations. Chambre: la chambre familiale de 5 personnes n'est pas pour 5 personnes: il y a un lit double, un lit simple et 2 banquettes qui sont comptées comme 2 lits, mais ce ne sont pas 2 vrais lits simples (ces 2 banquettes sont moins larges et plus courtes qu'un vrai lit, et avec une literie de banquette, donc moins confortable qu’un vrai lit). Petit-déjeuner : comparé à d’autres riads (du même tarif) que nous avons testés à Marrakech, le petit-déjeuner est frugal et compté. Vaisselle Ikea, jus d’orange en brique, morceaux de pain de la veille coupés en petits bouts et réchauffés au micro-ondes, portions congrues, etc. Accueil: gentil mais peu chaleureux et peu présent ( quand nous avons quittés le lieu, nous n'avons trouvé personne à saluer).

Nous n avons pas l habitude de laisser des commentaires désobligeants mais il nous paraît important cette fois de partager notre expérience plus que médiocre afin d éviter les mêmes déboires à d autres voyageurs et permettre à l équipe du riad d améliorer son offre. Nous devions rester 3 jours. A notre arrivée le riad paraît accueillant, authentique et bien situé. Mais le chauffage fonctionnait très mal et vu les températures la nuit au Maroc nous avons dû dormir habillé. Le veilleur de nuit a tenté de régler le chauffage mais sans réel changement. Les menuiseries n étant pas étanches la salle de bain était extrêmement froide sans chauffage, les serviettes restaient très humides. Nous avions aussi un problème de debit d eau, seulement un filet d'eau dans la douche. A priori il y avait une fuite non réparée et le problème touchait toutes les chambres. Il a donc fallu composer. Nous avions prévu de manger au riad. Repas dehors à 10 degres. La deuxième nuit le chauffage fonctionnait un peu mieux mais la salle de bain restait glaciale et toujours un filet d eau. A 23h45 il y a eu une coupure électrique dans le riad. Le dernier soir nous n avions plus d eau chaude. Le personnel nous a demandé d attendre le lendemain. Face à chaque difficulté aucune solution nous a été proposée. Au vu du cumul nous avons été contraints de réserver en urgence un autre riad pour le dernier soir et donc payer 2 fois. Les veilleurs étaient sympathiques mais aucun confort durant ce séjour malgré le prix

Le rapport qualité-prix n’est vraiment pas bon. C’est beaucoup trop cher pour ce qui est proposé. Le Riad est certes bien situé, près de la place Jemaa El Fna et des souks de la médina, mais pour y accéder, il faut emprunter des petites ruelles pas très rassurantes, surtout le soir.

Rolig placering og venligt personale

Dejlig beliggenhed, en rolig oase når man trænger til en pause fra Medinaens larm og “skønne kaos”. Personalet er meget venlige og imødekommende. Fik endda muligheden for at sende privat sms til en, såfremt hun skulle booke en tid til hammam for mig. De arrangerede upåklagelig bagageafhentning og kørsel til lufthavnen til en meget rimelig pris. Sidst men ikke mindst serverede de en skøn myntete.
