Convenient stay for one night

It is a really nice house in medina, next to Jemaa el-Fnaa. The riad is nice, it has a pool, a rooftop and an outstanding architecture and interior design. However, I believe it could have been much more interesting and beautiful experience. The house is really old and has a lot to offer but it felt like empty and not maintained.

Definitely needs an upgrade!

Well where shall I start, firstly the hotel is awful and definitely needs an upgrade but if you have a low budget then it's worth the price. Bare in mind that towels are only provided as and when and any extra need will cost you, the water is not so hot if you need a shower. The cleanliness is also very poor but the only thing good I can mention is the manager who was nice and hepful as one can be. I wouldn't go there again!

Nice stay for the price

This riyad means you are truly embedded in the Madena. Whilst the Riad is a bit shabby and points to a more impressive past it is very beautiful. When one is reviewing it you need to look at the price. And I feel that, considering the price it proved a very pleasant place to stay to experience the city.

établissement pas entretenu et sale

En point positif le prix et la réceptionniste qui malgré son extrême fatigue a répondu à nos demandes et aidé dans nos démarches. En revanche les chambres sont sales et pas entretenues, c'est vraiment dommage car ce Riad à un gros potentiel. Points négatifs : issus de secours fermés à clef, carte de crédit non accepté en réalité, saleté des lieux communs , piscine et chambres, pas de possibilité de prendre un café avant 9h du matin et petit dejeuner difficilement réapprovisionné.

Run down!

What could have been an excellent place, was run down and uncared for. The bar was empty - not even a glass in site! the people working there were totally unattentive. We have to ask for toilet roll, ask for breakfast food to be replenished. There was not a bin in the room. Our friends room had glamorous furniture but the toilet did not flush and the bucket they used to put water in it, also had a leak! Their shower did not work as well as ours did either. We had a good shower with plenty of hot water thankfully. Harry a young lad working there was our saving grace at breakfast times and he help to organise trips for us at good prices from the Riad. He was very friendly and spoke good English. However, after he left to see his family, the other people working there couldn't be bothered to get there in time for us to have breakfast at 8am on the day we left. The excuse was that they were all taking children to school. I don't think 8am is too much to ask, especially as we had paid for b & b! Location was great if you want to be in the heart and depths of the souks.

UN INCUBO... SCONSIGLIATISSIMO

Il riad è collocato in un posto orribile e pericoloso, la sera era rischioso uscire per cui tutti gli ospiti cenavano alle 18 per poi tornare nel riad a non fare nulla visto che il wi-fi funziona solo all'ingresso ma non nelle camere. Le camere avranno minimo 40 anni ma l'assurdità più grande è stata dover pagare 5€ di tassa di soggiorno extra a persona per notte, un vero furto se si pensa che la reale tassa, da me pagata in altri riad, ammonta a massimo 2,50. Lo sconsiglio vivamente.

could be a nice riad if the owners take care

The room was in used condition, few bulbs were broken as well as the venitlation in the bathroom. The whole building looks like the owner doesn't care about it anymore and doesn't try to repair or fix things. Just cleaning isn't enough.

KEEP AWAY!! The photos on Expedia are deceptive.

When we arrived for check in the rooms were not available, although the gentleman at check-in (named khalid) decided to show us around to decided which rooms we wanted. What I saw was absolutely disgusting and beyond belief. There was a drainage leak on the first floor of the hotel. The bathrooms were unsanitary and unusable. The beds were broken at the base. The beds were not made from the night before. There was a strong aroma of damp throughout the entire Riad. There was no natural light coming into the building.

Riad conposibilidades

Hay que reconocer que la Riad es muy bonita y se nota que tuvo un gran pasado. En la actualidad se está apagando como una vela por falta de gestión adecuada. Las habitaciones son austeras pero bonitas. El servicio, pésimo. Solo hablan francés y marroquí y ningún esfuerzo por intentar entender, una única excepción es la recepcionista portuguesa, la única que aporta sentido de servicio y brillo al riad. Cuando llegamos, la habitación estaba relativamente limpia, pero en los 5 días que estuvimos no la limpiaron ni una vez. Total ausencia de toallas y ni hablemos de jabón. El desayuno austero, pero bien. Acorde con el precio. Lejos de Jamaa el fna (unos 30min) que por la medina es perderse seguro mas de una vez. En resumen. Si buscas lugar con encanto lejos de turisteo bien, si buscas servicio... Mejor busca otro
