Краткий обзор: A beautiful, authentic Riad that trades modern hotel polish for charm, meaning you might encounter slow Wi-Fi and the occasional old-pipe smell.
Подтверждено @riadlovers: I felt completely transported staying here. The contrast between the busy streets and this silent courtyard is wild. My favorite part was the traditional breakfast right by the pool—the mint tea is a must-try. It felt like my own private palace.

Reality check
Some rooms are much smaller than they appear in photos, and bathrooms can feel dated with weak water pressure.
- You appreciate traditional Moroccan craftsmanship over modern minimalism
- You're on a budget but want a place that looks expensive on Instagram
- You don't mind a 15-20 minute walk to reach the main square (Jemaa el-Fnaa)
Чистота и уход
8.9
- Housekeeping: Daily service is reliable; staff are praised for keeping the common areas immaculate.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally clean, but older plumbing can cause occasional sewer smells (common in Medina).
- Maintenance: Charming but aging; expect some peeling paint or stiff door latches.
- Linens & towels: Clean and functional, but don't expect Egyptian cotton luxury.
- Odors & scents: Usually smells of orange blossom or amber, masking the occasional old-building mustiness.

FAQ и советы
Всё, что вы действительно хотели бы знать перед бронированием.
Is the pool heated?

Is breakfast included?
Yes, a traditional Moroccan breakfast (pancakes, eggs, yogurt, mint tea) is typically included in the rate.
Is the area safe at night?

Советы инсайдеров
- ✨
Ask for dinner to be served on the rooftop terrace at sunset—it's magical and often private.
- ✨
The 'hammam' on-site is small and basic; for a luxury scrub, book a dedicated spa in town, but for a quick rinse, it does the job.
- ✨
Don't trust Google Maps blindly in the Medina; download an offline map or ask the host for a pin.
5 вещей, которые нужно знать перед поездкой
💡The 'shower' might just be a handheld nozzle in a tub with no curtain—expect a wet floor.
💡Lighting in rooms is 'romantic' (read: very dim), making it hard to find things in your suitcase.
💡You might hear your neighbors' conversations clearly through the heavy wooden doors.
💡The orange juice at breakfast is freshly squeezed and arguably the best part of the meal.
💡Cats are part of the Riad experience; you will likely be joined by a feline friend in the courtyard.
