Booked for 2 adults and 2 children and was given a self contained apartment with sitting area and tiny kitchen plus 2 bathrooms over 2 floors. View was amazing, staff polite and breakfast good. Only caution is upstairs bedroom ceiling low (6 feet) and stairs very narrow so may not be good for those with mobility problems. They do have rooms without these issues so just ask but we felt we had the best rooms here for the view alone. Roof terrace a bonus.

Lovely Riad & Staff

Beautiful Riad, nice room & hot water!! The staff was kind, helpful & very attentive. Hubby had a stomach ache and they got him tea to make him feel better. This is our bad - we didn’t realize that we hadn’t paid online when booking. There was some confusion but they were kind & patient with us. They don’t take credit cards but we were fortunate because we had just enough cash to pay for it.

Suggest you look elsewhere

Very difficult to find this place in a dingy area. The staff appeared less than happy to see us. They offered no maps nor recommendations for places to eat - a bit useless really. The ocean view was fantastic but the bed was uncomfortable. Neither of us slept well for the two days we spent. Still nice to open the window and listen to the ocean! Shower worked very well with plenty of hot water.

Lovely staff and good breakfast. Good location at the outer edge of the Medina (though we got lost trying to find it). Very steep steps to rooms and rooftop deck. Room was charming but some oddities, like a cupboard with rod but a shelf immediately below, so hangers not useable. And only one set of towels for two people --asked for more and got an extra hand towel but still only one bath towel between us. However, they kindly lent us wine glasses and a cork screw! I didn't love our bathroom (in Saadia room), unglazed tiles in shower base seemed like they be hard to clean. However, a clean safe spot for a reasonable rate -- I'd stay again.

Pleasant B&B

A pleasant b&b. The breakfast and service were excellent. We had a room with a sea view which looked out over the rocks but it meant that the room was a bit damp.

Magnifique !

Nous étions seulement de passage, nous sommes restés qu'une nuit avec nos 3 enfants mais le logement était super, vue incroyable, prestation à la hauteur de nos attentes. Nous n'avions juste pas prévu que c'était de l'autre côté de la médina donc pas trop pratique si on doit aller à la voiture ou faire des allers retours avec les enfants.
