Better than Marrakech

I would avoid Adiger and Marrakech, which I both visited and just stay here. This town has everything for the unique Morrocon experience. Without the hard sell of Marrakech , the crowds , the scam artists etc. Totally relaxing .

Loved this place!

We had two nights in this quirky and traditional riad which is located right in the middle of the Medina. It was so original and authentic. All lovely Moroccan features and so quiet despite the busy street outside. Like an oasis of calm! Comfortable bed and very hot shower, clean towels and sheets daily. Breakfast was delicious and was served wherever you wanted; on the roof terrace, downstairs by the fountain or outside your room. Traditional Moroccan breads, honey, omlette and mint tea or coffee with delicious freshly squeezed orange juice. Staff were lovely, warm and friendly. Nothing too much bother. There’s a rooftop bar/restaurant next door if you want food and it does serve alcohol (even during Ramadan). We didn’t hear any noise at all. There are lots of little stalls outside and coffee places, street food etc. It’s a ten minute walk to the amazing fish market, city walls and beach, so location was perfect. We loved sitting on the rooftop listening to the call to prayer and watching the sunset. Just amazing and so reasonably priced.

4 nights in the land of a thousand and one nights

We had a great time in this riad.
Everything is perfect, from the reception to breakfast through the rooms that gives us a real change of scenery. The manager who is a man of extreme friendliness and kindness went to buy herbal tea at the market for my daughter who had a sore throat.
This riad is ideally located. We spent four nights there.
I recommend!

Spend one night in this riad and you won't be able to leave again

Wonderful riad , authentic ; In the center of the reception room .A fountain flows .Rose petals float there .Rooms full of charm with bathroom a little small admittedly (repair work is planned soon .A spacious terrace with a lounge for tea mint .and as tradition wants, tea is offered (whatever the number ).
The manager is a man full of humanity ,available ,always ready to help you .Hard to leave this haven of peace .
Practical; located at the entrance of the medina ,(which allows the taxi to drop you off close enough )you will not have to drag your suitcases through the alleys )
Few distance to the sea and fishing port.
I highly recommend this place.Thank you to our guests

Very good value for money

My family and I have just had four nights in three rooms at this hotel, and we all thought it was really lovely. The rooms are simply furnished and welcoming each with private shower room and the beds were changed everyday. The hotel is perfectly situated in a central yet quiet location and is attached to a large pottery and rug shop where we received a very generous discount. The owner was very very welcoming and so obliging, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lovely riad particularly if you're travelling on a budget.

Excellent location
