Finally, a perfectly soft, not firm or overly saggy mattress in the medina! Also, the staff was super friendly, instantly accommodated my request for a stay extension, was quick to answer questions, spoke fluent english, cleaned everything thoroughly, no major complaints here whatsoever.

Swed1964 Greece

The staff was friendly and helpful. We asked about local places to eat and got nice recommendations. We didn’t notify the staff about late arrival and it looks like without prior notifications the check-in is complete at 11pm. So notification is necessary if the plan is to arrive later. The facilities are huge(i think it was the biggest room we have gotten during the whole moroccan travel) and the place is very cozy. I enjoyed the terrace a lot!
