The Riad is beeeautiful and we had gorgeous suite with impeccable décor, spotlessly clean with gorgeous touches like rose petals on your bed and a large stone bath. The shower in our room wasn’t mounted on the wall so has to be held. Also, you can’t lock your door, even from the inside. This wasn’t a problem as it’s a very small Riad with only 4 rooms or so. The pool near the entrance is gorgeous to look at, but if’s more of a plunge pool than anything. We didn’t actually use it because it was quite cold (we did a little hand temperature test). At night it gets a little chilly and we had issues with turning the a/c into heating mode. This was the only time where the language barrier was a problem as it was hard to communicate the issue. Also, speaking French Is a great bonus if staying at this Riad, we would have got more in the way of tips and suggestions if we could speak French, so instead we were pretty much left to our own devices other than the occasional “Bonjour” and “Au revoir”. The man from the Riad next door does speak English to they call him if you have an important query or issue and he’ll translate. Be aware that there is a Cat in this Riad, sometimes a few cats. I wish I’d have known because I have a cat allergy and during breakfast it’s always around and may attempt to climb on to you or sit beside you. It’s a harmless enough cat, but it’s always around. Allergy suffers should probably stay in a hotel because there are cats in pretty much every open space, terrace area etc and most Riads tend to have an open terrace which will usually attract cats. Breakfast was pretty good, especially the pancakes. There didn’t seem to be a set time for breakfast which was nice, although we generally had it between 9-10am. The breakfast is alternated every day and the yellow, spongy type pancakes aren’t as nice but there’s still bread, marmalade, jam, delicious mint tea, coffee and orange juice. The terrace is small, but quaint…again the whole Riad is immaculately clean and well kept. I would definitely recommend as it’s one of the cheaper Riad’s we found for such high quality. The walk to the main square Djemaa El Fna is about a 15minute walk which does seem long at times, but you can get a taxi for 6-10 dirham (50p- 80p) if you wanted. On our last day we were asked to be taken to the airport, which the manager kindly did for free, which very much made up for initially not being picked up.
