Really good Service and Great Location

beautiful interiorrooftop terracehelpful staffdifferent room
The hotel features a beautiful interior. A lovely rooftop terrace exists. I enjoyed breakfast there with views of other Riads. Staff members were fantastic. Each one was helpful. The breakfast was delicious every morning. It always provided something special. The gentleman serving breakfast was especially helpful. He shared tips about local taxis.
We were given a different room than the one booked. The room in the pictures looked much bigger. The layout and window placement also differed. We received a cramped, small room instead. It was fine but not worth the price.

beautiful interiorrooftop terracesewage stink
The riad boasts a beautiful interior and a lovely rooftop terrace. i ate breakfast there, and the view of other riads was amazing. the staff were fantastic. Each member was helpful. i spoke with the cleaner every morning. She was always smiling.
we were given a completely different room than the one booked. the room shown in the pictures was much bigger with a different layout. the terrace was large but had very few seating areas, and the sewage stank, so it was impossible to sit there longer.

Good stay in a cozy riad

convenient locationhelpful staffvaried breakfasthistorical trip
The location was very convenient for exploring local spots. Staff members were cute. They always offered help with directions. Breakfast, served from 07:30 to 11:30, had great variety. I appreciated the availability of trips to historic Ait Ben Haddou (a real gem!).
I noticed the absence of ample seating on the terrace, a slight inconvenience for enjoying extended periods outdoors.

airport pickupunfriendly staff
my arrival was not smooth. i had arranged an airport pickup, i provided all flight details ahead of time. however, no one was there to meet me. it was annoying to figure out transport at that hour. also, the staff didn't seem particularly friendly or helpful. i found the general atmosphere a bit cold for my liking.

The location was convenient. Markets and restaurants were nearby. The staff was kind. Breakfast on the terrace had sunrise view. I appreciated its simplicity. I arranged an excursion through the hotel, and I found it well organized. The trip was pleasant. The hotel interior had a beautiful design. The rooftop terrace allowed breakfast with views. The staff booked taxis for me. They provided advice.
The bathroom lacked storage. I needed a shelf. There was nowhere for me to put my things after entering.
