"The property was a bit difficult to reach out but signs on it guided me from my cab going in to the Riad. The place was really nice but the service is just world class. I really appreciated how they took the time to entertain questions and gave us a great guide on what and where to go within my stay. They have great staff and I could not recommend it enough especially with Ismaal who greeted me and gave me the guide and explained the ins and outs of the city. Highly recommended!"

"The staff was very friendly and the location is superb for someone who wants go explore the medina. Esmail the day receptionist is a great professional who is very friendly and helpful. The jacuzzi was also nice after a long day in the markets"
"We were given a ground floor room which really didn't suit us because there were no windows at all and the door was transparent! This forced us to keep the curtains closed during our entire stay which felt claustrophobic. Breakfast could have been better as well. Jacuzzi didn't heat up much at all."
"Beautiful little nook just outside the walls of the Medina, giving a little peace and quiet. Breakfast was spectacular every morning, fresh and local. The staff couldn't have been kinder nor warmer. Just a spectacular stay."
"The WiFi is a bit slow, so may interfere with projects or communications that may require a fair bit of bandwidth."
"Very comfortable, fantastic staff, great breakfast, good location."
"Like most riad, it is loud as the rooms all face the internal patio and when guest come or have their breakfast it can get quite loud. Tricky parking"
"For our entirely stay the staff was so welcoming and available to do anything to satisfy our requests. the room was really clean and spacious and because it was our anniversary they also were able to arrange a little themed decoration and a cake for us. everything was amazing! we also used the jacuzzi on the terrace and it was really nice"

"The room has ample of space, bed is comfortable and the bathroom is fine. The location is great, 10 minute walk to the Jemaa el-Fnaa square and the Koutoubia moque as well as many restaurants around. The Royal palace is in the vicinity. Breakfast is simple, modest and sufficiently enough."
"There is no Television in the room to watch the current news, but its also fine."
"Both Ismael and Sala were very helpful and kind. The peppermint tea and cake on arrival was a lovely touch and the evening meal was very tasty and relaxing."
"Aucun."

"This stay in the Ziz valley felt extremely authentic and was a perfect way to end our time in this area of Morocco. Great location to stay for flights in and out of Errichidia. Hami and his family were excellent hosts and we loved our time talking, having tea, and enjoying the best tangine we had in Morocco!"
