    They made me pay for a taxi I didn't take, because of missed luggage.

    The location is awful for solo travelers! It s very hard to reach by tax and the area in general is too 'local' (not ideal for a lady coming back alone in the evening, let s say...)

    The Riad inside, particularly the courtyard and the Staff!

    Absolute pleasure from arrival yo departure. Great and helpful staff all day and evening (shout out to the evening manager Mr Noureddine who was an absolute star). Riad was cleaner than the 3* hotel I moved to the week after. Breakfast is served from 8 to 10 Im the type who doesnt book the same place twice, but I could actually consider a stay Riad Alwane again 🔥 Location is a 25 minutes walk from Jemaa El Fna, and the wifi is superb

    The rooms had no windows :-( but i hardly stayed in the room. There is a nice rooftop upstairs i got to do my work on the laptop in the sunshine. The location took time to work out but having a designated taxi driver helps to find your way back.

    Being a solo female traveler the staff made my stay one to remember for life. The way they made sure i stay safe outside, designated me with a taxi driver.

    A wonderful riad with excellent dinners, perfect for lodgers traveling in groups!

    As other travelers have posted, the riad is 25-minute walk from the Medina. Vehicles cannot fit down the road of the riad, but they will get you within a two-minute walk. The neighborhood looks a little sketchy, but we felt safe. The locals in that area sometimes offered to help us or hailed us as we walked by. There are a lot of children playing in the streets in this area, I think that's a good sign it's more on the safe side.

    The hosts are so hospitable and accommodating. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was superb, from welcoming us when we returned for the day, or preparing breakfast and dinner to accommodate our schedule, and bringing us tea in the evening. We had to leave early one morning before breakfast and they even prepared some food to-go for us! The dinners here are amazing and we highly recommend! Our favorite dish of the trip was prepared by the riad: the beef with figs!

    I didn’t like the location of the Riad, what makes it hard to find.

    It’s a lovely Riad, calm with a clean room. The decoration of the riad is very traditional and the pool in heart of the riad add a confortable atmosphere.

    The location. It was quite hard to find once we first arrived. However our taxi driver located us to the right alley way. On google maps this won’t work so maybe ask the driver for help or contact riad. It is generally safe with the locals in the streets and is only a 15/20 minute walk to the souks. It’s a 20 minute walk away from main attraction (Ben youseff ) and atay cafe.

    Riad alwane will forever have a special place in my heart. First time being in Morocco and got to stay in this beautiful boutique riad. I’d say for the price you are paying you are getting your moneys worth, with a lovely sun top terrace to lay and down stairs with a pool that was too cool for us to go on but lovely for the atheistic. You have a yummy breakfast every morning with the sun shining down on you.

    Getting to the Location was a hassle, because I traveled alone I just paid the locals to take me to the Riad.

    Breakfast at Riad Alwanee was “maginific” as the French would say, they had pancakes, jam, honey, mint tea/coffeee, bread, cup cakes, And the list goes on! The rooms have personality and so does the Riad.

    Bad neighborhood, but really nice on the inside

    – The neighborhood is really poor, more so than the rest of the medina. Make sure to always get home during daylight hours or be prepared to get followed by (groups of) people that’ll try to provide little services or just beg for money directly, and intensely. – We could hear everything through the walls and the plexiglass of the winter garden. – When we paid the city tax and asked for a receipt, they would first make fun of it, then look through several drawers, and eventually scribble some sentences in arabic on a notepad. We later found out that it‘s quite common to not provide receipts in Morocco but I still feel like a request like that should be handled a lot more professionally

    – Cleaned daily and thoroughly by three nice and respectful people – Quite beautiful on the inside, especially the court part – When we had a bad experience on our way to the riad, the manager was able to deescalate the situation

    The issue we had with the Riad was it's location - we did not expect it to be in a position where you had to walk through the equivalent of an industrial estate then the narrow streets where you were constantly followed and chased by aggressive begging or intimidating gangs. I have travelled the world and never left accommodation early but it felt too unsafe leaving and getting back to the house.

    The staff were excellent and very accommodating and the house was beautiful

    location is a real issue - not the best location as locals often asked for money and made us feel unsafe at times. hosts warned us. taxi couldn’t get to the place so we always had to walk. no food area nearby and not allowed food in raid from outside.

    great Staff and good room size and clean. they offered taxi (€15 for two people). 10 min walk to Suk and centre. pool, terrace.
