Klein, sfeervol en rustig hotel

Heel leuk, rustig en sfeervol hotel. Je hoort geen lawaai van buiten ondanks dat je in medina bent,alleen vogeltjes en soms oproep van moskee. Met ongelooflijk vriendelijke medewerker Mehdi. Heeft ons echt met alles geholpen, ook met nieuwe vliegtickets zoeken toen Marokko verbood nog naar Nederland te vliegen. Hij liet ons er helemaal thuis voelen.

Das Riad ist sehr zu empfehlen! Die Zimmer hübsch eingerichtet, das Frühstück reichhaltig. Der Gastgeber Ibrahim ist freundlich, zuvorkommend, hilfsbereit und serviceorientiert. Wenn es Probleme gibt oder Sonderwünsche anfallen, ist er ständig erreichbar und kümmert sich darum. Lage ist ebenfalls super. Im Riad besteht die Möglichkeit Hammam/Massage (35 Euro pP) zu buchen, die auch exklusiv im Riad selbst durchgeführt wird (sie war angenehm, wenngleich wir schon Bessere hatten). Ein weiterer Pluspunkt ist dass man stets umsonst Minztee bekommen kann und auf der Dachterasse (auch mit Shisha für 5 Euro) super chillen kann!

El riad es muy bonito, bien ubicado y tranquilo

El riad es muy bonito, con decoración árabe, tranquilo y agradale, te aísla de todo el bullicio de fuera....tiene un patio con piscina donde te podrás dar baño relajante después de todo el día en la calle...y terraza en último piso. Esta bien ubicado, a unos 15 min de la plaza principal y el zoco. El personal es muy agradable y atento...sobre todo Ibrahim, te ayuda y facilita todo lo que pueda. Y los desayunos son estupendos... Mi experiencia ha sido extraordinaria y repetiría otra vez.
