Sad place. There is no host. Very huge breakfast (margarine instead of butter). Not very clean.. Payment in advance.

Luiza, Poland

Wonderful and cute little riad with wonderful view

Jack, United Kingdom

The location, the doorman, the room and everything its supercool. One of my best accommodation. I really recommend and I am thinkin to return next time! The owner was so kind and welcomed us very well. :) the rooftop is also cool ))

Nikolett, Hungary

The owner was really friendly. The breakfast was lovely too

Rowena, United Kingdom

Nice rooftop with great view to the city. This is rather a dar than a riad so it has no garden in the patio.

Bala78, Hungary

Jusuf (owner) was very helpful. He told us where to eat nice food in decent price, where to find good shops, souks, internet cafe and everything what we need. Also the terrace was great, very high with smashing view. Location is good as well, close to souks and Jemma el fna. Nice atmosphere inside

Rafal, Poland

Youssef was ok as a host and helped out with booking one of the tours from the broschure he had. He speaks english which helped us. The brekfast was very basic but nice. 1 bread, 1 Pancake, butter, marmelade, 1 glass of juice, tea and coffee. The building is one of the tallest in the Medina so the view from the terrasse is nice. The room was clean. The bathroom had a fan to remove some of the humidity after showering, and warm water was no problem. It felt safe due to the location. No noise from the street or surrounding was heard in the room.

Jonas, Sweden

We were in a twin room and this room was much better than the first one we had, specially how the bathroom is made (because you don't get the water all over when you shower) and the quality of the shower. Room in 1st floor.

Trip, Australia

Riad in excellent location, just several minutes from main square. Very nice and helpful host, organized excellent one day trips with good discount, advised how to find certain locations within Medina. Nice place to stay. Highly recommend to contact your host in advance before your arrival and to arrange pickup from an airport. It's kind of difficult to find riad for the first time. We happy that we picked this place and spent great vacation time!

Arnas, Lithuania

nothing, please go to another place for that money

눉Non smoking sign was not respected nor enforced. You can hear all the other rooms even just normal conversations from two floors up, and most guests did not care if they were loud or not. The towells smelled bad when they got humid. When showering most of he bathroom gets wet including the toilet and the sink. It was quite cold in the room as there was no heating, so we had to put on some clothing to not freeze while sleeping. You have to pay the entire stay in cash when you check in. It is quite difficult to find, as no map have a correct location of the address.
