Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offers stunning views across the city and to the mountains, with clean rooms and excellent bathrooms featuring constant hot water. While the separate loo with a curtain for privacy is a great touch, some might find the surrounding area slightly overwhelming initially.
This hotel exceeded my expectations with its beautifully decorated and well-equipped rooms, complete with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, making my experience truly enjoyable. However, there was a minor inconvenience with the curtain for privacy.
The hotel offers beautifully furnished rooms in traditional Moroccan style, combining modern comforts and privacy curtain options. It is conveniently located in the heart of the city, allowing quick access to all attractions. However, there are occasional loud Muslim prayers nearby.
I was blown away by the beauty and comfort of the rooms at this hotel, complete with an adjacent sun terrace and an elegant three-chamber bath. Every detail was perfectly Moroccan style, exceeding all expectations. The location in the heart of the Medina was fantastic, offering a neat and authentic experience.
