Most of the staff was so kind and helpful. However, my first night, as I put in my previous check-in review, was miserable. The construction literally right outside my window went past 5:30am and I did not sleep at all. When I called to the front desk for help, the man told me I should go tell the workers to stop. Obviously this is absurd, and I told him that in fact HE needed to address the issue. It didn’t make a difference. The yelling from the workers and non-stop construction sounds continued and kept me from sleeping at all.

Richly decorated plush riad in the heart of town
Most people went here to dine in the dining room where "The Man Who Knows Too Much" was filmed, but when we actually stayed in this location, you surround yourself in plush and beautiful decor, and we got to walk around in the morning with no other guests around from one dining room to another instead of the during the bustling belly dancing dinner time. The room is nicely decorated with only 2 small windows that your hand can barely fit in, but we were there in May so there's no need for A/C (provided in room). Very close to Jemaa al-Fna but go to the souks on the north side for better deals and selections on food and items instead. Service was super nice and the lady accommodated our requests with a smile. One of the best stays in our 3-week driving trek in Morocco.
Great breakfast in the middle of plush decor

Fantastic Experience. Exceptional
Not enough words to express how great this property is. In the heart of the old city and just steps away from all the major sites you’ll wish to see. What made this so special for myself was not only the Riad and it’s rooms as well as the building itself and the spectacular restaurant and the vast amount of history within it but the staff were always available to assist. With a friendly sincere smile in the morning to assisting with directions or setting up excursions to the Atlas Mountains or a special dinner out. I can honestly say that this is a hidden gem that will make your trip a special one. Many thanks to Soumia and all the staff. I have traveled the world and this I rate as “Highly recommended”. Don’t be fooled by the price. Read the reviews it will not disappoint.
