I was unsure how many stars to give this riad. The service deserves 5 stars - huge thanks to AbdeSalam and Mohamed for being so helpful and welcoming. As for the riad itself, here are the pros and cons:
Pros:
• Excellent location near Jemaa el-Fnaa (behind Café de France)
• Traditional Moroccan style
• Friendly customer service
• Daily breakfast included
• AC and Wi-Fi available
• Mint tea and pastries on arrival
• Room cleaned and towels changed daily
• Walking distance to souks and restaurants
Cons:
• Very old building
• Noisy - thin walls and loud doors
• Low doorways (watch your head!)
• Outdated bathrooms with a moldy smell
• Strong fragrance in the building
• Saw cockroaches in the room and pool area
There are two buildings: the main one (some rooms and for check-in and breakfast) and a second one called “Terraces” where we stayed. It’s a short, safe walk between them. Our room was basic but had essentials like a safe, shampoo, and tissues. Overall, great staff and location, but the building itself could use updates.
