Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour dans le riad de Gilles, qui a été très accueillant ainsi que tout le personnel. La chambre était spacieuse et très propre. Le petit déjeuner est succulent. On s'est sentis un peu comme à la maison. De plus le riad est bien situé.
Tout était parfait pour nous

Central location, easy to find in the medina, beautiful and simple interiors, incredible free breakfast (crepes! Croissants! Melon! Fresh squeezed orange juice! Mint tea!) on the rooftop terrace - absolutely stunning! The staff was also very helpful and easy to reach on WhatsApp

Unfortunately, this was not comfortable for us. The location is in the Medina & its a convoluted walk to get there. We were on the 1st floor and the noise in late evening was loud. Our room was old & tired, and could have used some TLC. The owner was not very hospitable. Breakfast was nice, along with the gentlemen who served it. The price of our stay was reasonable.
It was a very convoluted walk to get to the Riad in the Medina. Our room needed some TLC.

Everything was fabulous. They were really accommodating when we arrived very very late due to a delayed flight. Breakfast was lovely every morning on the roof terrace, and they were great with my 2 year old daughter.
We stayed in the mauve room, which has its own bathroom, but not in the actual bedroom, which we knew when we booked and for us it wasn't a problem. Both the room and the bathroom were clean and comfortable.
I was a bit worried about a few things i had read in negative reviews frommm the past but you can tell that they've really taken everything on board and rectified each little niggle.
All in all, we had a fabulous stay and would definately return.
Thank you to all the staff.

Good size room in the middle of the Medina so close to all historic sights. Good breakfast on balcony and all working at the Riad were helpful and friendly
No real dislike but the base floor could do with some painting but on our third floor all bright, painted

This Riad is amazing. It was clean, the location was perfect, the breakfast on the terrace was very good and the owners were very nice and helpful. They helped us with the transportation from the airport and even if you cannot get by car inside the medina, the driver will walk with you until the riad. It was a very good experience.

I liked how helpful Gilles was and the inner architecture/decor of the building. The place was clean.
The mattress needs an update. We go there to rest so having an old mattress which sinks in the middle it's not good. More wall plugs in the bedroom please. We need it to charge our phones, camera batteries and bedside lamps, hairdryer and what not, we had to juggle with this. Also, there was mold and paint coming off near the ceiling. A few updates would be greatly appreciated. Having said this, the host and the workers were friendly and helpful to accommodate our needs.

Location. Easy to find.
Heater in the room didn’t work. A rolling radiator is in the room but wasn’t told why it was necessary. Shower nozzle for handheld was broken so wasn’t convenient to shower. building was noisy. everything echoes being on the bottom floor, it wasn’t peaceful.

The manager came down to get us to the property which was good because we would have never found it otherwise
The Riad did not look anything like what was advertised on booking. The location is in a very sketchy neighborhood that is so far removed from the main road. The place is very old. The pictures on booking of the place look like that they were taken 10 years ago. If you are looking for a safe place for you and your family, this is not the place to book. The rooms and beds had a musty dusty smell to it. No air conditioning present in any of the rooms. The rooms do not lock even though you are giving a key. When locked from the inside, someone from the outside can easily open it. We left less than an hour after checking in because we did not feel comfortable. The person who checked us in, asked for a payment even after we explained to him that we paid through booking. He told us that the card was not charged only for us to see a charge on our account the next day. I had to contact booking before the person called me saying that he will send me the money via western union. No apologies from him or the owner Giles or anything. I am sure they would not have said anything if we did not discover that. Giles claims that he has been on booking for 10 years so I am not sure why this mistake was made and how they did not realize that. My interactions with Giles were borderline rude and not customer friendly at all.
This experience has been the worst for me and my family.

A fabulous Riad, very well located. Breakfast on the terrace was gorgeous & the owners were very friendly, helpful & welcoming.
The stairs are extremely steep. It would be difficult for anyone with even slight mobility issues.

Nothing. Breakfast rooftop, did not have enough tables for guests they were in the blazing sun with no shade.
My room was very damp, no bedside table no hanging room, three pieces of furniture in room 1 set of drawers one small coffee table, one straight back chair. We had to leave breakfast tables to accomodate other guests.
As above. Nothing also even the Moroccans felt we were In a dangerous area .we arrived late at night.taxis cannot get near the place and it is almost impossible to find.

Great decor, ambiance, felt like a home rather than a hotel and was very happy about that.
Reception was a bit hard to find.

Nice and helpful staff, nice roof terrasse, nice building, nice owner
The private bathroom was outside of our room. The bathtube was broken and disgusting. (holes in it; not clean)
The toilet was dirty.
It was a bit hard to find and lots of people in the medina are leading you to another location.

location in the Medina was great even though neighborhood was a little intimidating at times. locals were very helpful in showing the way.
the building itself is beautiful to look at. roof view was great.
it was very loud. shared living room area had people talking until very late. concrete building with lots of stairs made people walking very noisy. no fans. very hot in our room. our room did not have a bathroom connected. felt like a hostel. not a lot of privacy overall. people can look into your room while you are sleeping

The service is excellent, and the staff is very friendly and helpful!
